This video for Grace Jones' "Slave To The Rhythm" cost $1 million... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAejXcmxQrc ...most of it paid for by Citroen?
Priest was mentioned uptread, this one is over the top just for Halford's sex face when he's pulling apart the bars in the safe... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYn5hxeFt10

Judie Tzuke - "We'll Go Dreaming"

^^ totally badass song btw

Gosh, I'm not quite sure what to think of that one Curtis, but it's a hell of a good call: I really liked another song I heard of her a couple of years ago though it's made fun of in the press, it seems. You know, whatever that song she was real well known for in the UK? It isn't the one you've posted, but hell, I'm glad you did post it. Fascinating stuff.

I think this one is about as ridiculous as it gets (in a '70s stylee).

Cyndi Lauper: "She Bop"

I know the song is about female masturbation, but this video is, er, on some other level. Besides the view obvious masturbation references, does anyone have any idea what's going on there?

This had it's own thread, but just in case anyone missed it. Prisoners in Cebu reenacting the video to Michael Jackson's Thriller. Lots of them. Their Algorithm Dance is amazing too.

Yes! I'm not too late to say Lionel Richie's Hello.
He stalks a blind woman, apparently taunting her lack of sight.

That Lionel video is really cracking me up. I can only take about ten seconds of it at a time. I haven't seen that in eons and honestly didn't think I ever would. It's such a sappy song, I never liked it. His coat is so dated, too!
