i love all the 80s rock videos with the theme of the parents who won't let them rock. the best is that nelson video where the kid's dad yells at him, he goes into his room to sulk and the indian on the poster on his wall comes to life, hands him a feather and guides him to his own personal nelson concert. at the end he thinks it was just a dream, but alas, the feather is in his room!! there's also the theme of the kids becoming possessed by the rock (glowing eyes and all), like ozzy's shot in the dark or kiss' i love it loud.
on the cheesy pop video tip, there's the paula abdul video where keanu reaves makes a cameo where they're at that 50s car race ala grease and she asks him "have you ever been in love?" and he says "if i was i didn't know it" and they have this really stupid conversation that i believe ends with one of them saying something like "it just reminds us that we're all alone." she had really bad videos - like the one where she dances with the cartoon cat.
