So how many late '70s video cliches can you get into one clip? Let's count 'em: sleeveless Ts, the ice-queen bitch who gets into a limo, the disappearing girl over a lyric about being gone, the fire in a trash can, pointlessly bizarre camera angles, aping a famous movie scene... did I forget anything?
And part 2 reminds me how much I miss the SCTV gang...

ReplyDeleteYou got 27 seconds further than I did.

ReplyDeleteI liked it back in the day, but it hasn't aged well, or maybe I've just changed.
Love/lust for Rick Moranis, however, is eternal.
