This is hilarious.  It is the original music video to Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart". But they sing a literal description of what is happening in the video to the tune of the song.

Most of the songs are pretty bad.  This one turned out good.  Take On Me.

Okay, the safety dance is the funniest I have seen so far.  Edges out the Hasselhof spoof.

Just curious about motivation.  Why would anyone bother to post video or audio on youtube when the sound is so bad is sounds like it was recorded on a clock radio cassette deck?

It's their only hope for fame.

^^^^ You have to remember that these 80's videos were recorded on the film and sound technology of the time, which pales in comparison to today.

Did anyone else catch the reference at around 3:36 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgEHOM21j3s&feature=related#t=3m35s)?

If not, you have to watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrs&feature=fvw

Thank you for reminding me why the '80's sucked.
