Flashback Friday (WARNING: for 80s nuts only)
Mining YouTube for five music videos you probably didn’t want to see again (don’t say I didn’t warn you):
- Dead or Alive: Spin Me Round
- Dexy’s Midnight Runners: Come on Eileen
- Musical Youth: Pass the Dutchie
- Taco: Puttin’ on the Ritz
- Yello: Oh Yeah
- Bonus: Chicago Bears (1985): Super Bowl Shuffle (well, it was for charity)
And, what I was actually looking for, five music videos I did want to see again:
- Modern English: Melt With You
- Aztec Camera: Oblivious (there were two videos made, this one is the earlier version where they didn’t make Roddy up like Boy George (here’s the other); not great quality unfortunately)
- Icicle Works: Whisper to a Scream
- Trio: Da da da (Warning: gratuitous German violence!)
- Boomtown Rats: I Don’t Like Mondays
- Bonus…‘Til Tuesday: Coming Up Close (vintage Aimee Mann)
