Greatest Video ever made?

I'll go for the iconic 'Wired for Sound' by Cliff!

It became a soundtrack for a generation and made wearing earphones acceptable.

The Cliff fashion was only surpassed by Barney.

And the words are sublime:-

I like small speakers-i like tall speakers If theyve music-theyve wired for sound

Walkin about with a head full of music Casette in my pocket and Im gonna use it-stereo -out on the street you know-woh oh woh...

Into the car go to work Im cruisin I never think that Ill blow all my fuses Traffic flows-into the breakfast show-woh oh woh...

Power from the needle to the plastic A.m.-f.m. I feel so ecstatic now Its music Ive found And Im wired for sound

I was small boy who dont like his toys I could not wait to get wired for sound

I met a girl and she told me she loved me I said you love me then love means you must like what I like- My music is dynamite-woh oh woh...

She said-Im not a girl you put on at a stand by I am a girl who demands that her love is amplified Switch in to overdrive-woh oh woh

Power from the needle to the plastic A.m.-f.m. I feel so ecstatic now Its music Ive found And Im wired for sound

Don't know what he means when he mentions Cruisin though, Mick do you know ?

ahm no

yeah its fine Jethro, and lets keep it that way.

I was referring to the home video of my nephew at a day old

As for the threesome I had with Liam and Tim*, sadly it wasn't filmed as the lube made the camcorder slip out of my hands and the donkey trampled on it while we were attaching the bondage gear and powering up my pummel'o'matic 3000:\ohwell:

*the quiz was cancelled we had to kill time somehow

I thought you said you had the 4000 deluxe?

I wore it out these things aren't built to last like they used to be

And to think you told me you weren't filming because Liam's cock was too small!

She got it in macro

SHUDDERS....

...with pleasure, Jeff???

I'm always biased to TPK and TBTHOG.

But then, I remember in the early 90s, I record a lot of music videos in Headbangers Ball, 120 Minutes and Alternative Nation in my VHS.

These were my favorites in my VHS recordings then: Nine Inch Nails - Head Like A Hole Ministry - Just One Fix Suicidal Tendnecies - Institutionalized Nirvana - Lithium Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away and a lot of others

Indeed!

is there some kind of "scene" going on and can i get involved? my cam corder has a good gripping handle, no lube disasters.

Take On Me ... A-HA

My favourite!

Aphex Twin - Windowlicker

I was all set to link to "Windowlicker", and you've already done it! Uncomparable, the peak and death of the video art form.

People may want to skip the first 4 minutes of repetious silly banter to get to the "song", or just skip to the 8:15 mark to see the money shot.

according to me...

Really the best video ever

has anybody mentioned scream by Michael Jackson and his sister?

ok, sorrry

I'll go for the iconic 'Wired for Sound' by Cliff!

Top tune!

It was filmed at Pebble Mill in Birmingham. If you're ever in Tottenham Court Road, then you can walk past all those electronics and hi-fi shops singing "I like tall speakers, I like small speakers".

It's one of our in-jokes at work , nobody understands the genius of 80's Cliff.

Doves - There Goes The Fear

Radiohead - Just

Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Arcade Fire - Power Out

these are quite good as well.

You are une personne de bon goût, vous aussi.

It reminded me the first time I saw this video... spring 1987. Still have official version in its Front 242 plastic bag. When I think that Richard 23 is now involved in the Green party...

Funny this video of Front 242. There are some elements of BLT and True Faith videos...

what... what? this was real? I thought South Park was being creative, they were just ripping this guy off.

Bizarre Love Triangle ... just because of the weirdness ... remember the Asian girl talking to a man in the middle of the song "I refuse to believe in reïncarnation because I don't want to come back as a bug or as a rabbit" ... ridiculous, but great fun

TPK. Best video ever.
