Finally! A guide to YouTube's '80s videos!

Categories: Music

Call me Oldie McOldenstein, but they just don’t make music videos — or, at least they don’t show ‘em — like they used to. So if you enjoy your songs uninterrupted by screaming hordes of teens (MTV) or professionally unfunny comedians (VH1), then you’re going to go ga-ga for this site that categorizes YouTube’s extensive library of ’80s videos. (Thanks, Metafilter, for the link.) Now you can add Nu Shooz’s preposterous clip for ”I Can’t Wait,” Samantha Fox’s ”live” rendition of ”Touch Me,” and birthday girl Martika’s "Toy Soldiers" to your work-avoidance repertoire. Just don’t come whinin’ to me when your boss catches you watching Milli Vanilli’s ”Girl You Know It’s True” (worth watching for the side-splitting opening dialogue alone). C’mon everybody, get off your duffs and do Milli’s run-in-place choreography! Hawt!

    Oh. My. God.
    Thank you. As if I needed another reason to spend hours in front of the computer. Now I remember how cute Corey Hart was and how much I loved Jem and Kids Incorporated. I blame you now for any future mass mailings of videos I send my friends and family.

    Oh no. I forgot how mainstream 80’s pop videos were mostly cheese ball. lol!

    No list of 80’s videos would be complete without “Love Is A Battlefield” by Pat Benatar:

    C’mon, you know you remember the dance moves. ;)

    I have already polluted the workspace with Pop Muzik, Photograph by Def Leppard, and Jessie’s Girl.
    Here’s hoping I still have my job in a couple hours.
