Worst Best Music Videos

[GreiginFife]

So we've had best song/worst song but to lighten the mood around here a bit, let's know your worst best music videos.

Music Vids have been a staple, probably since the early 80's (I appreciate they go back further than that, but in the "story telling guise" probably not so much other than a video of the band on stage playing the song or in a club setting).

I want to know the videos that terrible (be that cliched, cartoonish or just bonkers) but to the point that they are actually brilliant.

I give you my first entry, Twisted Sister's (I think) 1983 masterpiece for We're Not ~Gonna Take It Anymore (featuring a typically OTT performance from Mark Metcalfe of Animal House (Douglas C Neidermyer)).

Come on, lets lighten up a bit in the run up to the fat man's arrival...

Sabrina, boy boys boys. I won't post the video, it's a terrible song, but I don't what it is about the video I can't help but love it?

I like to imagine the conversation that went on with this one.

- what are you thinking for the video Carly?
C: Well, what if there's a guy just going about his business singing the lyrics to my song?
- that sounds rubbish, is that all you've got?
C: Wait, hear me out.. that guy is Tom Hanks.
- ok, I'm listening..

How has she actually got Tom Hanks to do that?

So bad it's wonderful.

There is one clearly obvious answer to the OP question.
It has to be "I Want To Break Free".

But as it is that time of the year, I will offer

I don’t know whether this video is so gross it’s good or whether it’s just gross and the cover version is good. But if nothing else at least it’s seasonal- and I love it.
