Top 10 Ridiculous 1980s Music Videos

I do love that Billy Squire album,😊

This list fails to contain "Batdance" by Prince and THAT is a serious omission.

Hasselhoffs Hooked on a feeling is missing

Wht about rock it from herbie handcock

Great flashback 👌 😂

Something about those helmets I didn’t like – yes they looked too small INDUSTRO CHIC is a rather substantial like statement and would prob suit tiny rectangular glass boxed windows in front of helmet – think 1980s Soviet Nuclear Power Plant windows or those original white LEGO bricks with clear plastic covers 3 LED lights with clear Perspex covers. But then I Remembere!
American group (American) DEVO with WHIP IT! They wore tiny helmet like hats in their very ugly music video.
So go bigger – go more chunky and add 3 tiny lights.
I’ll even give u a Business Name for yr new range – DEVO DIVER – – Could sound it DEEVO DIVER or as in Australia DEVO (sounds L like egg) DIVER which actually means Devastated – DEVO!
Anyways Industro Retro Devo – it’s simple.

And then they forgot Genisis with Land of confusion. Shame.

I like Thomas Dolby's song and video "Hyperactive" much better than "She Blinded Me With Science". Btw, Dolby was a guest musician on "Foreigner 4", playing a lot of the synthesizers.

The scientist in the Thomas Dolby video is Magnus Pyke, an actual scientist who was popular on British television, and known for his rather OTT presenting style and sense of fun.

How on Earth can you call "You Spin Me Round" ridiculous? I was in a one-horse town on the Costa-Rican/Nicaraguan border 7 years ago and this came on the video-box. It was brilliant.

the '80s is pretty much like living in Tokyo Japan today.

You have to understand what DEVO is all about in order to understand their music. There are a couple of videos for your next top ten. Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel and Land Of Confusion by Genesis.

She Blinded Me With Science is my favorite 80s song.

Years ago, Billboard Magazine said that "We Built This City" was the #1 stupidest song out of 100 songs. I agree.

I eas born 1992, a few years shy of the awesome decade that was the 80s.
I love the 80s. Every year it's culture and music and people are going farther and farther away…. it's sad. I love these videos. I love everything ridiculous about them. I hate 2023. Everything's expensive, nobody communicates what they feel, and people that have feelings are considered weird. Then they do the most hurtful things to you. You can't video tape in public because you will get attacked, a McDonald's Big Mac is $8.48 just the sandwich,
food has lowered in quality 8X, kids are disrespectful and you can't correct them, anxiety attacks and increased heart rate are KILLING ME slowly, 💔😭
I thank God for the 80's even if I wasn't there. Im out of work, might get kicked out from my apartment because i can't make rent and bills and rent increased 100%. Complaining doesn't do much right. But i can vent. This years have been so dumb. The only good thing is i met my Richi and Endocrinologist. Other than that, this human world is dark. I might die soon and i wouldn't be happier 😢😢 I'm burnout

" I Want To Break Free " is not only the most ridiculous music video of the 80s but also of all time.

The videos for these songs may have been weird but they were pure fun. People now day don't know what real fun is. Everybody is so hung up on being "politically correct" and worried about hurting somebody's feelings that fun and humor has taken a real beating. Two things are true #1- you can't please everybody…somebody is going to get their feelings hurt. That is a given! #2- You can't be politically correct all the time and expect to find laughter. People today don't know anything about music and fun.

Is it PushingUpRoses?

Why isn't Nu Shooz Point of Return included? The music video is surreal.
