Weirding Way Media. Eighties Day and So Pretty Eighties Day, Through the City, Eighties Dating. Man World, eighty Day, Hello, and Welcome to Eighties TV Ladies, and Part two of chit Chit Changes. The twenty most revolutionary Eighties music videos. Is that what we're calling it?

Or the twenty best eighties music videos about change and whatever? Sharon likes? Either way, we're back and better than ever. I think it's super fun and I'm sure we are going to be better than the nineteen eighty four movie Breaking to Electric Boogaloo. So let's get started with part two.

Where were we in Part one? I had picked Michael Jackson's Thriller, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation B fifty two's Love Shack, my twofer of Madonna's Crazy for You and Express Yourself, Tracy Chapman's Fastcar, and Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, and I had. Picked Janet Jackson's Control, Elton Johns I'm still standing Queen Latifa's Ladies first Public Enemies Fight the Power My Tracy Chapman was talking about a revolution, and I picked People Have the Power by Patti Smith. Now let's do our final four, Sharon when we last left ourselves. It was your turn, so name your next favorite revolutionary nineteen eighties music video five four three two one.

I'm going to go with Straight Up by Paula abduel Oh. As you mentioned earlier, she was at that point known more as a dancer and a choreographer. She choreographed music videos like Virjana Jackson. She had been a dancer on in Living Color before this. Oh yeah.

She had also I think also been choreographing routines for the Laker Girls and then decided she needed to do it to be out front and center. So this was her breakthrough debut music video. It opens with her doing this amazing tap number. In a. Knowledge way to go.

You are all just see the minim moving way. And it's all shot in black and white. And then we have a cameo by our cineo hall. Oh yeah, that's right, that's so cool. Yeah, I remember that our Hall of the height of.

Our exactly exactly. So it was her debut, was her her breakout moment for people to finally see her know who she is. And again I love the song. It's it is a great music video. That tap at the beginning is really spectacular and and it was so cool to watch people that were behind the scenes choreographers become performers in front of the camera, and she did that path incredible choreographer and then turned it into her own career as a performer.

Exactly. Love it, love it, love it. I'm going to bring up Pat Benatar hit Me with Your Best Shot nineteen eighty, the beginning of the eighties. Here we got. Shot shot.

It's just a performance music video, but it's great and Pat Benatar rocks and she's still performing today. I think she's definitely wanted to premiere Ladies of Rock in the eighties, and not just that song, but I totally lost the name of the song Love is a Battlefield, which also is just fantastic. But yeah, she's terrific. She's absolutely terrific. All Right, I think we're down to our last like two, Well, I have extras, So you have extras, you really you just you're just scoffling all the time.

Because what I've decided, there's several I'm going to I'm going to sort of put together into sort of a one kind of type of if you will. So I've kind of lost track of the the actual count Oh. I did want to point out that the straight up Paula Abdua was directed by David Fincher, who directed was directed several on our lists. He directed Express Yourself by Madonna, Madonna's music video as well. Yeah, we could do a whole episode about directors, probably mostly men, but still directors who started man music videos and went on to have big movie careers.

I will say that actually music videos were a gateway for women directors at the time, Mary Lambert being one of one of the biggest ones that moved from music videos into features successfully. And if you read the MTV book, which I have not, but Richard has, my husband has, and so we've talked about it because he was talking about how basically, when music videos were first happening, the record companies thought they were dumb. They were like, that's dumb, and so there were women assistants in the room and they were just like, we need somebody to do this, and so the women were like, Okay, I'll do this. So a lot of women basically got their start directing music videos because nobody wanted to do them and it felt like a dumb thing to do until they became super popular and then of course those women got pushed at, pushed aside, and you boys club took the boys came in.

But it was a avenue for women to break into directing, which was really important at the time. Absolutely, penelopece Fers got to yes, all right, is it my turn? You have several to get through. I think it is actually my turn. I'm going to go with Sweet Dreams by the Earythmics.

I'm a big fan of the song love Annie Lennox. She has one of the most beautiful voices, but this was kind of their breakthrough, and the music video was a lot of fun too. Sweet Jeams are made am to design. I travel the world and seven sees everybody is looking for something. Some of them you want to use you, some of them want to get used by.

Some of them want to abuse you. Some of them want to be abused. Yeah, that's really the main reason I picked it because I love them. I love this video. I love that.

All right, I'm going to go. My next one is going to be girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cyndy Lauper nineteen eighty three, because you know what girls really do, just want to have fun and another groundbreaking artist and music video I think is album an album, Yes, the whole album and time after time like following and leading Madonna, Like I feel like they were like kind of the. Almost parallel tracks in some ways, you know. But yeah, just another woman who was just this is who I am, this is what I'm doing. Yeah, you know, and that incredible voice that she has, Yeah, you know.

Her voice is something else. Exam when you gotta give your time, Untidy win the prather, just. Do rather, it's. What you're gonna do with your now, oh you know, but don't say rather. Rather, Girls just want to have Fun.

Music video was directed by Ed Griles, who did a lot of Cyndi Laupper, Huey Lewis in the News and then Eddie Murphy's Party All the Time, which I just you know, I didn't put on my list, but as soon as you hear. It, I can picture the music video and the song. But girls just want to have Fun? Awesome, Yeah, great debut. I had to put some R and B dance on this list because the eighties at the beginning, there were a lot of great songs, but still a lot of them are concert type situations where they just sort of record them singing or lip syncing whatever, just fine.

But the one I chose is again one that I love, and it just so happens that the video is also a lot of fun, and it's word up by cameo. Speaking of cameos, this video has a cameo by LeVar Burton who plays a cop who's trying to break up this unwieldy group of performers who are getting out of hand, and it's just it's joyful and the music is just classic eighties greatness, classic eighties greatness for me. And you said this to me before because I was like, I don't remember that, and then as soon as I saw it, I remembered it, and I was like, oh my god. And LeVar Burton is so baby fit. He looks like he's twelve.

It's like, oh my god, I forgot how young he was young he looked in nineteen eighty six. It's so sweet. He's playing a cop, but he's very sweet, and at the end he gets a girl and he's handcuffed to her. I don't know. It's such an insane one, but the song has I think the first version of the line we all know of now.

Down around, down, down your mom, down you know. Like you don't care, Black. Staff Dance. Yeah that raise your hands in the air like you don't care. Soon you found that on the internet that that seems to be I think that's the first one.

Yeah, I just know that I love the song, and I just assumed I guess at the time or even afterwards, that the hands in the air thing was already already a thing. But it certainly struck me when I was looking at it, and I was like, wait a second, and I went and looked it up, and according to again short look at the internet, there's a line in the song wave your hands in the air like you don't care. And I think that is the first recorded version of that phrase. And I'm telling you, it's so fun. We're just gonna go with that.

I'm gonna stay here. Since then cameo, that's right. Word up. All right, you gotta do another one. Come on, you have more than me.

It's like opening presents. You gotta do too. Well. From one extreme of eighties music to another, I'm going with one of my favorite hair bands, bon Jovi, And I mean, there are several several other songs that I really like, but I really love this video for wanted dead or alive. The melody sounds a lot like it's almost like a cowboy movie kind of thing.

Shame a little shade. Every day it seems listed away. The place. Well, the faces are so cold. I'm traveling.

Just to get back. I'm a gavel. Austin aside. I'm won it, won it. But what it is, it's about this band being on the road performing for crowds and what it takes for them to do this.

And I watched the video and it really makes me a little emotion just to see what they're going through as I'm watching, because you don't really think about it. We go to a concert, the people get on stage and they entertain us for two three hours, whatever it is. We have a great time. The music is great, hopefully, the crowd is great, and there aren't too many idiots around you. And then you go home and maybe listen to the record.

But these guys got to get back on the bus, pack everything up, drive to the next city and do it all over again. And when they're on tour, they do that over and over and over and over again. So what it takes for them to bring that to us as their fans is incredible, And I think this is kind of a testament to that, because you forget, Like I have friends that are bands, and I'm like, I can't believe they're doing it. Some of them are older than me and they're still doing it. And I'm like, I don't know how you still do that.

That is like running a marathon every night and then writing a bus to the next town, right and sometimes packing your own van up. You know. My hat is off to musicians, all of them. So I think that's fabulous, a fabulous reason to be on the list. Did you do two?

I did? Cameo and I did you did? Okay? All right? Train now, all right?

So I get one, all right, I get to open a present, all right. My next one is a Rod Stewart cover of a nineteen sixty five gospel and soul hit with Jeff Beck. People get Ready. I didn't realize it was a cover until I was looking at it. I was like, oh, that's a great song.

That's a great song about change and revolution and let's go. And it is by the Impressions, And so then Rod Stewart and Jeff Beck did a cover of it and brought it back. It's directed by Dj Webster the music video, it's very Americana. Sepia toned another eighties music video style that was very much used a lot. You both get bad.

He has a train you coming. You don't need enough bad, you just keep on. All you need fa. Tess Farming, do not take you, just bag. It looks like a commercial, right, like for you know, trucks for trains.

I did go to get on board the train. That's true. Read trains come in. That's you don't need it, don't need to get you, just get on board. God, I'm like, what is it?

It's something with particular Bye, I'm rewriting it now. The song was written by Curtis Mayfield at the height of the civil rights movement. That's where it all where it started. It's a great song. It's an absolutely great song.

It's an absolutely great song. And I actually found a video that's basically a music video of the impressions. It is apparently from the Dick Clark Show. It's from nineteen sixty five. They are in a boat on a lake and they are singing the song.

I mean it looks like a music video, right pre music videos. At first, I was like, well, they must be in Central Park and there's these kids on a boat. But now I'm thinking it was actually not New York, even though Dick Clark Show is in New York, right, But there was a spin off of the Dick Clark Show, so it's I think it might be Echo Park Lake. Really, I'm looking at the footage and I think at might be Echo Park Lake. I'm not one hundred percent sure because it's hard to tell, and lakes look a lot alike, but it's all pedal boats, but it's different kinds of pedal boats, and Echo Park Lake.

Is known for that they're giant swan pedal boats. Yes, these are not giants swans, but it's still all pedal boats. Right. And there was a spin off of the Dick Clark Show that was called Where the Action Is, and it was a variety show shot in Los Angeles and it had these young people, right, It had all these young people. And the kids that are in the boats with the band and the other boats are those kids that are known from the show.

The music video that I found this piece was from this Facebook page about the Where the Action Is fan group, and that's where I realized those kids were in that and That's why I was like, maybe it wasn't Dick Clark, it was where the action is that shot this ma, that's a trade comment. You don't know that. You just. On to you the. Cat.

You just. So that's my little deep dive because it was so fascinating to see a music video from nineteen sixty five. I just thought it was really amazing. That is amazing. I don't know that I've ever heard this this show.

It was successful enough to have a fan group, and it was sort of like not the Mickey mouse Club, but like for teenagers, you know, somewhere between like American Bandstand and something else in the making mouse Club and then Mickey mouse Club. But it was very funny to realize that those were the people in the boat, the other boats. So that's why I think it was shot in la I can't wait to look into that. That's fascinating. I will have a link for it.

I went down on a deep dive on this one because I was so ashamed that I didn't know it wasn't just expected the right song that I just thought of the rod stupid version, But you know, what are you doing about the eighties? It was introducing us two things that had happened twenty years earlier. It had resonance in the sixties, had residence in the eighties, and it definitely has resonance today. So people get ready. That's right, there's a train of coming.

Don't need a ticket. Just get on board and vote, registered vote and call your representatives. Yes and marked in the streets. It'll be fine. We just got it.

And bring five people with you to come vote, five other registered voters. Make sure they vote anyway, do your next two to three was my last two. I think I'll do these two together because they kind of go together. They're essentially just fun concert videos. It's Invisible Touch by Genesis waited waited.

She hasn't. Seems fun. And Jump by Van Halen really well done, fun happy eighties videos that I like. So I love that. I did watch the Jump van Halen and that is such an eighties yes music video.

Van Halen at the height of their eightiness. A look the hair, the choreography. It's a performance one, but David Leverth is like doing like karate kicks in between the performance, right, but they're on a stage with their instruments and gets me down. You got it up. I see the jump sound.

And I know, baby, just feel. You got to. Get a watch to you. The worst jump Jo. You know, same thing with Invisible Touch.

It's on stage and they're just having a good time. And when those are done, well, I like those kinds of videos as well. He's performing, and then other times he's kind of crawling towards the camera with this outfit that is so eighties and so gender fluid, like your jumpsuit. It's like a white jump it's like a jumpsuit. But then he's in this red thing with a sash and the things a scarf, and you're like, oh my god, this looks like a parody.

It seems to me though there are a lot of bands wearing that kind of stuff, but he doesn't. Quite like David le Oh gosh, Oh my gosh. Well, speaking of the eighties, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. I love my bamboo sheets, and that's exactly what Cozy Earth is all about.

They've been on Oprah's Favorite Things list four years. We're talking about buttery soft bamboo sheets plus amazing pajamas.

Welcome back. Let's continue with our conversation. Well, speaking of the eighties, one of the things I found as I was going through my boxes was not Davy Lee Roth, but I have a signed picture from everybody in Aerosmith. Do you really from Armageddon?

Oh? Sure? When I was at Disney and we worked on Armageddon. Aerosmith did the song I Don't want to miss a thing. Yes they did, and this is again.

Days of the movie premiere and the Disney movie premiere parties were off the chain. Armageddon was Jerry Bruckheimer. It was Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer. So each premiere had to top the other one. And the Armageddon premiere was at Cape Canaveral and they pulled out a space shuttle and put it on the launch pad and lit it up across the lake from basically the Cape Canaveral Museum.

So when people arrived, there was a space shuttle and Aerosmith played. They had a concert by Aerosmith, and we were covering it for broadcast publicity. So I got sent to Cocoa Beach and when I called up to make reservations, they were like this Coco Cocoa Beach. I was like, yes, it is, man, I need some hotel rooms. So we went to Cocoa Beach and stayed for three or four days and set up everything for the premiere, and then we were recording it, and then we were satelliting it.

All the premiere footage, one of which was covering the concert of Aerosmith, and I got to be with the crew that was covering the concert of as Here's how we covered the concert Aversmith. They did it privately for us beforehand, so the cameras could be on stage and be running around. And the camera guy that was a friend of mine was like, this is the greatest moment of my life. I am. I am doing music video shots with Aerosmith.

Yeah, oh my god. Yeah. He must have been just pinching himself a whole time. And then we covered We also covered the concert later, but we got, you know, individual time with all of Airsmith, and they autographed a photo for me, which I had totally forgotten about and is in all my stuff and I don't know what to do with but I'll put it in a photo album. Yeah.

The one and only time I went to the rehearsals for the Academy Awards was that year because that song was nominated for Best Song Written by Diane Warren. Who has written everything and always nominated. Yep, never one, never won, never won. But that year I can't remember all five, but I know that we sum Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston sing whatever song they were doing a duet for that year that was nominated. We saw Andrea Butchelly and Celine Dion sing their rehearsal.

I must have told you the story, because I've told this to everybody that walks by me. I'm gonna hear it again. I've heard it. We haven't heard it on the show. So the way they set up the rehearsal throughout the afternoon, people who are presenting come in and they either rehearse like the singers do, or people that are presenting come in and rehearsal women or their shoes, for instance, so they know how it feels to walk in them, et cetera.

Throughout the afternoon while we're there, there's activity in the theater, but you know, people are doing their jobs and stuff. Here come Andrea Bachelli and Celein Dion, and I think everybody in the production came into the theater to watch this and hear this. Sure, they sang their song three times, and then what they always did is they walked people over this board that they had across the orchestra pit down into the theater, and then they walked out up the center aisle. I don't know why here comes Celinion walking down the aisle. Somebody, I'm guessing on the crew bought their daughter, who looked like shoes about five walks up to Celindion with this little Titanic ship that she is showing to Celine Dion to give to her.

Selen Dion gets down on her hands and knees takes the little ship. It's just you know, talking to the little girl and like looking at the ship and just being you know, for like five minutes talking to this child and stolen the virtues of this little gift. And then she leaves, and my friend Laura and I were just like, you've got to be kidding me. Yeah, I don't know. This is the best thing we've seen all day.

That this woman. All she had to do was just say, oh, thank you very much, so glad you came and walk that's all. No, No, she gets down on her hands and knees and talks to this child. I just I've never forgotten that. I've never forgotten that I was already a fan, but I was even a bigger fan after that.

That is fantastic, That's awesome. Yeah, so that's my favorite, my favorite story about that all experience. Oh Okay, what's next? Are we at the end? Close to?

I think that's the end. I have one more, you have some. I do have one more, but I'm good. You've been nice and given me a couple of XP Okay, one more. Well I'll go first, all right, you'll wrap us up.

Okay, okay, all right. So my final one is Flash Dance, What a feeling. To be fair, this one may be more in your camp because it's not necessarily about change, but it is about that moment you are going to go for your thing, right, so Irene Kara amazing. The music video, I have to say, is really just a super cut of it. It's basically just a trailer, so I assume it's directed by Adrian Lyne.

I haven't rewatched that film purposefully because I have such a fond feeling for it, and I think it would make absolutely no sense. I knew it was sort of bunkers at the time that I saw it, but I was I was desperately seeking some kind of feminist stuff, and I guess a beautiful woman being a welder at a dancer was enough. Of that woman with a dream who was determined to try to make it come true. Yeah, Jennifer Beal start in the movie stars in this, but is not the dancer in this was apparently not a dancer at all, and so there's a body double for everything. But it was a pretty eighties movie, definitely an eighties music video for sure.

Squat there's nothing. But a stream. That your se. Seems too. Deep be.

Your mine. Oh, I have cried. Silenty A little cry in a world made dasty. Made us. So where.

The music close? My feelies? Rapparrend take of. My So that's my last one. You know.

It's interesting. It has literally been decades since I've seen this movie, but talking about it makes me want to go back and watch it again if I can find it somewhere. I don't know what to expect. It's a forty year old movie. I don't care I'm spoiling it.

The end when she gets her audition to be a ballet dancer, because that was what this movie and what her goal was while she's welding during the day and working in a dance club at night for tips or whatever. But there was a purpose with all of that. It's a woman with a dream. Yeah, I don't remember what I felt about the rest of the movie, because so much of the ending is what's indelible, is what I remember, and how. Rousing.

You know, you practically wanted to get up and chair at the end because she reached made it, she raised her goal, she had her chance, she had her opportunity to try to make her dream come true, which was what she was fighting for throughout this entire movie. So I'd like to think I certainly hope that. I think it'd be a little bit more cringe than I believe it would be. I want to, but I don't want to because I kind of want to keep it in amber, right, Like I kind of want to just pretend that it would hold up, you know, even if it is kind of cringe. I don't think it will change my feeling about the song, because I love the song, I love the ending.

I mean change my feeling about that what a feeling? Yeah, I did that. There were some other songs in that movie too that I can't remember off the top of my head. I want to say there was a Michael McDonald song. Maybe there's just one.

I'm sure. I'm sure. I had a whole soundtrack. Everything in the eighties had a soundtrack. The soundtracks a Donna summer song called Romeo.

Another song by Karen Cayman called man Hunt. Oh, I remember that song, Laura Brannigan's song, lots of Hunt, lots of women's song on lady. What is the song? It's in the club when you first hear her dance and she dumps the. Oh media, That's when I was trying to think.

Michael Simbello sang oh, but I recer not only sang, but wrote flashdance because she won her Academy Award for that. Yeah, it was Michael Simbelo and his writing partner Dennis Mikkowsky. I think, yes, Maniac was pretty great too. Time of the great movie soundtracks, absolutely, you know Armageddon had a great movie soundtrack. The only one I remember, though, is the Aerosmith song.

I don't remember it had it had a lot of score to score. But I think there were a couple other songs. I'm sure there were because there's the joke. So you just reminded me when I was working now that one I did not read the script for some of them. I was able to read the script for, but that one I was I was pretty early on in my career at Disney and Nobody wanted to give me a script, so we just had the concept and we had some behind the scenes footage that would be my first introduction really to the film and the poster.

So we made fun of it a bit. And at five o'clock, because we didn't evitably worked past five, but at five o'clock we would have our little five o'clock freak out and the little team that I worked with and my bosses and the other assistants coordinators, we basically sort of created this musical of Armageddon. Okay, it is coming, getting closer in and so we would start singing the soundtrack to Armageddon the musical at five o'clock sounds like fun. It was actually super fun. Boss sounds it sounds great, Oh my gosh, oh my god.

In our low cubicle area, and it was super It was super funny. It was a really the Bruckheimer movies were super fun to work on because you knew they were gonna have a big promo and you had money to burn, and you had money to burn. Yeah, and they would be a hit, you know, and they would be they would be of a quality. Right. Armageddon is bonkers, but it certainly is produced at a high quality late nineties early two thousand.

Jerry Bruckheimer knew how to piece a movie together and ran a tight ship. He was Simpson Bruckheimer at that time, wasn't it. No, it wasn't by then he separated. Yeah, and my favorite producer to work with when I was at Disney, because his team was spectacular. I interfaced with him very little, but when you did, you had to hit it out of the park right.

You had to make sure that he went in and came out with the this is great. But his team was great. They prepped you correctly and a lot of teams did not. And he was very clear about what he wanted, what a concept and it was great. He would go I like, I like that.

That needs to be more read. I don't like that, and you'd be like, great, I know what to do now, and I will make you happy instead. Okay, well I don't know about this, but no, tell me what you want. Yeah, and so I can give you that. That's fine.

Yeah, like what a concept? Saying what you want? Okay. At the time that we were working on them again, I was working in broadcast Whiplasy, which was behind the scenes, the interviews, behind the scenes footage being Premier Footage ePK press Kits, which was super fun place to work. Then I moved over into digital marketing and doing the websites and online advertising, and that was the early days of internet marketing.

And. Most producers did not care and in fact were annoyed when you tried to talk to them about the website, or they just wanted you to hire their friend. But Jerry Bruckheimer gave a lot of respect to the digital world, much more than a lot of other producers at the time, so I always enjoyed meetings with it. I was like, oh, he knows what he wants, and he doesn't not care. He cares about the websites and he cares about the online ads.

And that felt good because otherwise most people were. Either mad at me or you know, or they would they would not give you clear indications that they could go. They came back, well, this is what I wanted probably, and you're like, well you didn't. You didn't tell me, So we had to just do something. This will be my last, your last and my last one.

We talked a lot before our last one, but that's good. We held your attention. I'm sure right, So my last one I think in some ways is kind of fitting because this is a happy, happy eighties song from nineteen eighty seven. It's I Want to Dance with Somebody by the incomparable Whitney Houston, the gorgeous Whitney Houston, Not Strokes. And the Sun Weekends Too Big, a Little Time, Big Up, Jason Mobosa Bay.

The loved show Me Pound and when that balls. With the fun. Fun with Somebody. You look at this video, she's at the height of her beauty and just at the beginning of her career, and she just bounces off the screen. It's very eighties in its look, with the color scheme and the close.

She just shines through this whole thing, and she's just so great. So this is one of the ones I was like, I wanted to try to pick a lot of things that had women in the more I could, and that was definitely the case with this one because she really was just amazing. This show just how talented she really is was absolutely yeah, absolutely, you wanted. Her to have a happier life because she was such an amazing artist, Yeah, such an incredible voice, talent actress, Like when she did Bodyguard, I fully expected that she was great. Yeah, she was absolutely terrific in that, and I thought, well, this is a perfect start for her in this movie.

The kind of role she has and the fact that it's in the music milieu, if you will, doesn't take her too far afield of her and gives her a chance to get her feet what and I expected her to do bigger and better things after that. Maybe she didn't want to. Who the hell knows what happened after that and why she really didn't do much more acting after that. Still, this music video is quint essentially eighties Whitney is at her quintessentially eighties best, and it's just fun, It's happy, and I. Just love it.

That is a good one to end on. A dance with somebody I want to make up with. I don't know the words, but I dance with somebody combody a love me. You know, this has been just an amazing look down memory lane. Because I don't listen to music anymore for a variety of reasons.

I've just I've just moved away from it for a lot of reasons. And I was obviously not into every form of music, but I was so into music at this point, and there was so much good stuff that came out of the eighties. I think that still resonates today. Yeah, and I think that I missed the music video, right, I missed that, And people do music vide still, but it's not the same. It's not an entire industry dedicated to one upping the one that came before it.

But yeah, it was super fun. This turned out to be really really fun. That was great and a great idea. We got to tell people we're going to be off for a little while, but we've got to make it fun. So I think I think we did that.
