not sure how someone entered this descrip into wikipedia w/ a straight face or w/o commentary
Music video
Mardones made a music video for the song, but, as it pre-dated MTV by a year, it was not widely broadcast.
The video opens with Mardones walking down a street and approaching a house. The song plays over the video, and the lyrics serve as Mardones' monologue. He is met at the door by a bearded man who tells him, "She's just 16 years old. Leave her alone." Mardones leaves and walks around to the back of the house, peering through a window at a girl sitting sullenly in her room. The video then cuts to Mardones at a pay phone, speaking to the girl on the other end of the line and professing his love. The video then cuts again to Mardones returning to the girl's house, carrying a rolled-up carpet. He crawls through her bedroom window, unravels the magic carpet, and taking the girl's hand, they take flight into the night sky. The video closes with Mardones serenading the girl as they embrace, the scene finally fading to black as they kiss.

so MTV didn't play the video when it recharted in 1989? C'mon guys, this is way better than "Thriller"!
― Lee626, Tuesday, 7 August 2012 21:43 (eleven years ago) link
maybe it wasn't widely broadcast because the MTV execs were busy giving themselves eye baths after watching it

Mardones needs to be told that the lyrics only get creepier every time he records a new version. 73-year-old Benny needs to walk away from cheerleader practice and get back to his mopping before the principal calls his parole officer.

If he was gonna milk a single song for his whole career, he could've at least mixed it up a little, a la Chubby Checker and 'The Twist'. 'Into The Night Again'. 'Macarena Into The Night'. 'Into The Judgment Night (feat. Grand Puba)'. '(Go) Into The Light (Fallen Heroes of 9/11)'.

There's an alternate universe where Benny first rerecorded this song in 1984, with a gospel choir thrown on it, and it is that universe's "I Want To Know What Love Is."

We were wrong. There is something creepier than than the song "Into the Night." That thing: the original video for Benny Mardones' "Into the Night," featuring a goblin-faced Benny Mardones in a sleeveless striped t-shirt stalking a sixteen year old girl through a window, and then through a spectral statutory rape Tardis, and finally on a magic carpet that smells like Night Train and old cigarette smoke.

Bump.
Just remembered this classic thread after Mr. Mardones came up on shuffle. Those screams in the fade are truly crazed, the sound of a desperate man being dragged away from a high school fence after going to all that trouble of cutting off his ankle monitor.
