BringBackFergy Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Anyone have any favorite music videos that had a significant "effect" on you as a 12-15 year old?? Just heard this the other day. I asked my wife if she would do that and she said there's no way she could climb on top of the hood of my truck. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanM.D. Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 This was the only way to watch 'old' highlights back then. No interwebs available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Good find. Yeah... I just happened to grab it right after the Fins and before the Rams... Real quick... But you can make out Rich, The Jills, and what I still think are the best unis: White helmet, blue facemasks... Has to be late 1970's-early 1980's... I think Walk of Life (Brothers in Arms) came out in 1985... That was start of red helmet era... They used slightly older footage! Pretty cool!

BringBackFergy Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Maybe I was too subtle saying a video had an "effect" on me (i.e. watching that lady sprawl over the hood of the car, do splits, etc). I love the Dire Straights video but it never struck me as a "wow" video as a teenager looking for any saliva inducing female performances. Don't get me wrong, "Walk of Life" is a great message...but in my early teen years I was looking for "things" in a video other than a message...

You really want to know which music videos were boner inducing to a 15 year old? I probably could've gotten an "effect" from Tears in Heaven back then.

Chef Jim Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Not really Wacka. We had the Monkees, the "inventors" of the music video. Here's one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I remember the Monkees. I was about 11. During one of the songs, my brother, who is now 45, was about 5-6 months old and was bobbing his head to the music. A lot of people say the Beatles started the video, they played the songs from their movies. Actually during the 40s, they had "Soundies". He is a clip from the Blockbuster site. Synopsis Of Soundies: A Musical History Soundies: A Musical History collects a number of short musical films that played on a film jukebox called Panoram in the 1940s. Many consider these films to be the very first music videos, and this documentary includes appearances by some of the most beloved musical artists of all time including Louis Armstrong. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi Complete Cast Of Soundies: A Musical History Faith Bacon Dorothy Dandridge Yvonne De Carlo Michael Feinstein - Host Ceepee Johnson Les Paul Trio Leonard Maltin Mitchell Ayres Orchestra Kay Starr Wynton Marsalis Count Basie and His Orchestra Jimmy Dodd Peggy Mann Merle Travis & Carolina Cotton Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra Mel Tormé & His Mel-Tones Dick Robertson International Sweathearts of Rhythm Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra Les Brown & His Orchestra Cyd Charisse Doris Day Frances Faye Hugh Hefner Spike Jones and His City Slickers Liberace The Mills Brothers Sally Rand Fats Waller Duke Ellington Orchestra Cab Calloway and His Orchestra Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five Nat King Cole Trio Will Bradley & His Orchestra Martins Lois Collier & the Glamourettes Johnny Messner Orchestra Claude Thornhill & His Orchestra Gene Krupa & His Orchestra Lawrence Welk & His Orchestra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Ha. Haven't seen that one in a long time. Friend of mine used to be in Green Jelly when they were still Green Jello. Watching it now, 20 years later, I find the my threshold for comedy has shifted a bit since I was nine. Either way, it's a music video that really stands out in my conscious memory.
