Estranged by GNR. So first the cops raid Axl's mansion, then we see concert footage, then Axl has an out-of-body experience, then we see Axl about to leave the same mansion while his kids play in the front yard, then he walks down a flooded sunset strip, then he tries to kill himself by jumping off some oil tanker, and then Dolphins and the coast guard save his life. Can ANYONE comprehend what the story of that video was? Estranged is amazing. SWAT teams and dolphins and floating Slash and random children and an oil tanker and sneakers embroidered with Axl's name and Slash standing on water while soloing, and Axl sitting with a dolphin who's wearing his flannel. I can only assume the theme is that the only thing that makes sense is that nothing makes sense at all.

The Michael Bay-directed video for Meat Loaf's 'Objects In The Rear View Mirror'. This isn't just a shot at Bay, because his other Bat 2 videos (Anything For Love and Rock And Roll Dreams) were actually really pretty good. But this one just seems... Very off. The first verse which mentions the characters 'racing' and how one of them 'crashed and burned' isn't illustrated with the motorbike imagery that's gone through everything else Meat Loaf has done, but rather a light aircraft so they can have a big explosion. The second verse's haunting descriptions of how his father 'hit me again, and again, and again' is illustrated with them playing baseball and a bat swinging (Paradise By The Dashboard Light was the one with baseball metaphors, Michael, and they were better than this). And the 'beauty living on the edge of town' is displayed in all the wet-t-shirt sexy-carwash prism that Bay seems to see women through in general. Just a conceptual miss with every part of the song. I'm sure if Michael Bay looks back on it, he'll be awash with regret. After all, objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are...

I have always liked this song from Keith Sweat, but even when I was a kid when I first saw it, I was wondering what the deal with the video was.
Also, look at the ending. How on earth is she still hanging on if she was gunned down?

A video so badly received it killed the band's popularity in America.
Personally i I think it's hilarious.

While this one is really bad, cooler heads prevailed and it was never officially released until decades later when it surfaced on YouTube.
Behold, the original cut of Paperboy's "Ditty"

I think it's funny too but I can also see why most people would think it was just weird or not find it funny. But even if someone didn't like the video they can't deny it's a really great song and vocal performance by Freddie.

Roger Taylor makes a very attractive girl, I must say.

Behold, the original cut of Paperboy's "Ditty" I remember coming across this version in 2007 or 2008. I remember having seen the actual video before that had the sepia tone effect. But then when I watched both versions, I saw that some of the footage from the original version was edited into the more-known version. When watching the original version, I am like "What on earth were they thinking?"
