That bit in Hello

where he starts singing down the phone is one of the greatest moments in televisual history.

hard pressed to come up with 80's goodness

Worst 80's song/vidio combo?

Now there is a rich field of possibilities- I'd hate to revisit it though.

: )

"once in a lifetime" song/video combo by talking heads was ace.

And it's so hard to pick just one Duran Duran video, there's the whole boat thing in Rio.
The animal woman and safari simon le bon in hungry like the wolf.
The awful video effects in the reflex (digital water heading towards crowd cut to actual water thrown over some people in a dark room)
But in the end it could only be the Godley & Creme directed uncut version of Girls on Film which wins extra points for being the extended 12" mix of the song
