An 80ies synth pop all out war and no one has lobbed a Howard Jones yet?

That’s just sad … but please do enjoy all that novel v-editing going on here. Doesn’t get much more 80ies than that:

And Chasm … do NOT use Nena as a WMD. Watched her live in Denmark around 1985 and she was teh hot! Like, really.

[...] YouTube war continues apace. Gavin got down and dirty and pulled out not just Dschingis Khan (with subtitles!) but Sparks (featuring Jane Wiedlin), too. [...]

I may have been born after the Dschinghis Khan video was originally created, but dammit, I can’t stop watching it now from the unintentionally hilarious lyrics mixed with a catchy pop beat! I hope you’re happy with the collateral damage you’ve created in this YouTube war, Gavin. I hope you can sleep soundly at night.

awright, it’s later in the night….if you aren’t buzzed yet, you should be soon, go get a drink and let’s forget about this synth-pop BS.

It’s not about Video war anymore, but it IS about waking the neighbors

Time to pull out the power pop and start spinning something with a bit more bite. The Figgs are perfect, and will play until morning…..

I hate to have to be the one to do this, but I think John Cole has to be disqualified. You see, his ‘music video’ is from an 80s Australian comedy TV series. Can’t for the life of me remember the name, but they had a different mock song each show, if I recall correctly.

Now I’ve done my Miss Priss act, I can get back to watching the Ultravox and Visage gear and relive my yoof.

tigrismus said, February 27, 2008 at 23:45 I think I’m suffering from sensory overload, but I still have the energy to lob this…

Speaking about Nina and teh Klaus, she redid his Total Eclipse with a couple other guys recently. The chorus was sampled from the original version. I have a version where she sings the lyrics, and actually it's much better than this video.
