A Thread full of CLEVER Music Videos

[Nibble]

What a surprise. Tell me, what was it you disliked about the video? Was it the thought of robots doing household chores and putting you out of work?

For your information, the video was ground-breaking. Filmed in 1984 in the infancy of music videos as an art form, it won no less than 5 MTV video awards. It also was one of the very first music videos to show a black American on MTV.

I think it stands the test of time as a classic.

Yes, yes I know what it is and what it stands for but I can't stand it. Sorry Buzz, thats my opinion. Not all my posts require your pious, outdated, unfunny, inaccurate insults so stop trying to turn it inro a binfest and accept someone elses opinion. Anyway, here is one I'm sure we will both agree on, can't imbed though sorry
