Top 40 Worst '80's Music Videos

[Woops]

Rick Fury "Gotta Get Me Out"

The singer sounds as if he's saying "I Got A Video!". 

Well, one postive aspect is the cute women in spandex 

The video was a demo, which I doubt the singer got signed.

Tramp "Wipe Those Tears" (1987)

Oh so bad-that-it's-good!


I don't mind the low budget and don't mind the cliches since I enjoy them for it's camp factor, but could do without the drapes and could've been done differently (ie have heartbroken guy standing against wall or sitting alone in a bar).

The song's very much mediocre, though not as bad or good. Though very typical for the era.   I've heard worse...

There's few performances of the band from few years ago, which the singer sounded horrible!
