Context, for those who aren't old as fuck 😞.

my personal opinion: A-ha's Take on Me was the greatest music video of all time. what's your choice?

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

I don't know about greatest of all time, but it was definitely a work of art.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Good question. I would say probably something by Michel Gondry like the video he did for Chemical Brothers' Star Guitar or Let Forever Be or maybe one of his Björk videos.

But I'd definitely put Take on Me at the top of the 80s video pile. My absolute favorite video of that era would be And She Was by the Talking Heads, but Take on Me is so overplayed at this point that I'm not sure if that's why I don't like it as much.

Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver

Turn down for what

I don't think it's fair to compare Thriller to other music videos...

[–] Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Foo Fighters - Everlong

I'm really into animation, so my favorite is The Greatest Living Show by Itoki Hana and Toby Fox. It's a rather recent one, but my second favorite is a classic : Love Is All by Roger Glover and Ronny James Dio.

Possibly NSFW if your boss is a dick.

I'm old enough to get this, and that makes me a little sad.

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 7 points 10 months ago

I'm sure he took on him

I'm the only who saw a W in his forehead and though the joke was that she was sleeping with Wario?

[–] ulkesh@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Millennial spotted!

But seriously, I’m so old I got this joke right away.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Most millennials will be familiar with the Literal Video version of the song, at least. That thing was everywhere in 2008.

[–] brsrklf@jlai.lu 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Early millennials grew up with the original. Even though I was born around when the song released, I've seen that music video many, many times on TV in late 80s/early 90s.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 10 months ago

Hell, Family guy made fun of it at one point. Don't have to be that old to recognize it pretty quickly.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Also true, thanks VH1!

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I did too and I thought it was great.

After a good chuckle, it's not great, but it's still pretty decent.

[–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Buhu I'm so fucking old -literally everyone here

Even my 15 year old nephew knows the song and video. Stop projecting.

Genuinely made me exhale from my nose
