80s Video Reviews, #5

Today, I am going to review some more 80s videos.

"Thriller" - Michael Jackson
My mom thought I was going to be scared, but I am not scared of stupid. Michael Jackson and his girlfriend were on a date. They went to a movie. She got scared and left. He tried to calm her down. As they walked home, they passed a graveyard. Then some stupid dead guys came out and trapped them. They (the dead guys) had leprosy and were dropping body parts all over town. Then Michael turned into one of the dead guys. His clothes got dirty, too. He always solves his problems by dancing. So, he did. Then, we found out it was a dream. Stupid!!! I didn't know dead people could dance. Everytime Michael Jackson comes by everybody dances.

"Love Is A Battlefield" - Pat Benatar (or as Presley calls her - Pat Burger)
Pat is kicked out of her house and is sad. She writes letters to her brother, who is at her house. And she goes to a club and hangs out with all these guys. A scummy guy wants to dance with her and some other girls. So, they say we can scare you. They start shaking their shoulders at him. He gets scared and runs away. Then, he comes back. So, they do it again. It always works! All the girls leave together dancing and walk out onto the highway. They say good-bye and dance. Then she dreams about being on a school bus. I thought it was really stupid. I didn't want to use "stupid" again, but there is no other word.

"Love Stinks" - J. Geils Band
I thought this video was very crazy and stupid (sorry about that again.) It made me laugh. The drummer is slapping the drums with mitts. There is a tiny guy playing two trumpets and jumping on a pogo stick. And a monkey is in a button-up shirt. One of them (the band) winds up in a girl's bathing suit. One is getting a tattoo at the dentist. Then they put the lyrics up when the video is almost over, so you could sing along. Why aren't they up the whole video? One guy wakes up with a fish in his bed. And they were all wearing gas masks, because they say love stinks. I can't believe someone made this video, but watch it - it may make you laugh.

Thanks for reminding me that "Love Is A Battlefield" is a terrible song.
