Debbie Schlussel: VIDEOs of the Day: Do They Stand the Test of Time?
**** SCROLL DOWN FOR FOR UPDATE ****
Back in the day, I loved both of these songs, but only one of them--the second (which is on my Zune and my IPod--for my workout music)--stands the test of time for me (looove the awesome guitars in it). It's interesting that both of these one-hit wonder videos were considered futuristic in their time. Now, they're not even "old school," just cheesy. Bad plot more suitable for a porn flick . . . check, girls--and guys--with big hair . . . check, loud synthesizers . . . check, never heard from again . . . check, check, check. The leopard-skin jumpsuit in the first one just doesn't do it for me, but I do wish I had a guitar with those powers.
So, whaddya think? Did you like these songs back in the day? Do they stand the test of time for you? I'm kinda surprised by the lyrics of the first one, which I definitely didn't pay attention to back then.
**** UPDATE: Looks like Aldo Nova's leopardskin unitard was a hint of the future. He's now a songwriter for Clay Aiken.
