From what I've gathered, the band wasn't keen on the prospect of shooting a video and ended up poking fun at the medium with "(Oh) Pretty Woman." DLR as Napoleon is rather funny, though.

It looks like an Adam Ant video!

eddie's on a horse
mike's dressed as a shogun

Trivia: When the video first played on MTV (whenever the hell that was), they spelled the band's name "Von Halen" in the captions.

nine years pass...

It just occurred to me that when this thread was started in 2002, there was no youtube. How did we watch shit back then?

we relied on spotty memories, vh1 classic, and old vhs tapes rescued from our parents basements.

honestly if i ever had to live in a world without youtube again, i'd rather we just go full on post-nuclear holocaust.
