This was on the Family Guy tonight, Peter has decided to homeschool the children. I almost peed myself laughing. I had forgotten all about it, and I don't remember it being so awful. What the hell were we thinking back then? I look at pictures of myself in some of my 80's getups and cringe, and Mick and David probably did the same every time they saw this in later years. |

OMG, try watching it with the sound off like I just did (I'm at work)....... It looks even worse/funnier/gayer!!  ETA: I remember when that song first came out, I thought it was such an odd choice for Jagger and Bowie. |

I will just sit there and giggle and let all my tension drain away. Confession: I had the exact same pair of Reeboks Mick is rocking in this video. SaveSave |

I loved this song but wondered why they did not have a choreographer for it. My little factoid of the day is that they did this in 2 takes. No muss, no fuss... and it shows, even for 1985ish! LOL

LOL I'm surprised there was more than one take! Two college kids with a bong and a camcorder could have done a better job. SaveSave |

David Bowie definitely does, but Mick? Not so much. I see pictures of the very young Mick, When the stones first started out and I just have major hots for him. He is a dead ringer for the first boy I loved in school. But he definitely didn't age well, and it happened pretty quickly. But I guess he has managed to comfort himself with his billions of dollars and all the supermodels.  |

I guess this explains why I listen to music and never watch the videos!
LOL That was funny.

David Bowie makes it awesome. I personally think Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" is one of my all time this must be an 80's video.

But what about any of the Duran Duran videos? Those just scream 80s to me.

Do any of you watch Dancing with the Stars? The judge, I think his name's Bruno? He's in this video several times. You can see him pretty clearly at 0:19, at 0:34, and later on, too. |

I had forgotten about this video. So funny to watch.
Also, what's up with Mick slurping on a can of soda in the middle of the song? He couldn't wait and/or they couldn't edit it out??
Thanks for the laugh. Made me smile...

Am I the only one who watched this and thought, "I should totally make a spoof of this with someone!"? I think I would play Bowie's part. The hardest part to make it through without laughing would be the part where they are right in each other's faces.

A) it's good that 'it doesn't matter what you wear' B ) I don't think that's what they meant by 'moves like Jagger' Jeez those were good times bright colors, peg pants, flowy shirts ahhhh the 80's I gotta say that video should *be* the time capsule for the 80's They looked so young but they were 38&42. Kudos to the make up team they truly look like 20something |

At least they weren't in sync! But seriously? It was the age of videos. It was hip. It was cool. It was Mick and David Bowie!!!!!
ETA: sorry. Until the end. But seriously - still a great song!

God the 80s were awful. I do not understad the nostalgia for them at all. Awful clothes, hair and music, just awful.
Except The Smiths of course, they were awesome.
