Madonna channeled Marilyn Monroe in the iconic video to “Material Girl,” the Nile Rodgers’ produced song that crowned her the queen of pop in 1984. Taking its inspiration from the famous scene in the 1953 movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondeswhere Monroe sings “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend,” the video’s storyline depicts Madonna being pursued by a fi...
Brooklyn-born Pat Benatar’s feisty rock anthem “Love Is A Battlefield” inspired a Bob Giraldi video whose theme was empowerment and seeking liberation from oppressive forces. It shows Benatar leaving home after an angry confrontation with her controlling father and journeying to a big city where she ends up as a taxi dancer in a seedy club where wo...
The representation of reality and fantasy by the contrasting use of monochrome and color film is a cinematic trick that was popularized by the 1939 movie, The Wizard Of Oz. Director Brian Grant used the technique to good effect in his dazzling video for this Whitney Houston Grammy-winning hit, which contrasts the singer’s lonely life as a performer...

It was shot by Australian director Russell Mulcahy,...

Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart’s synth-pop classic about the complex nature of human desire put Eurythmics on the map as an international act; their fame was accelerated by the song’s accompanying Chris Ashbrook-directed video, which was an MTV staple in the pioneering music channel’s early days. The video was famous for Lennox’s striking androgynou...
One of the big blockbuster movies of the 80s, the supernatural comedy Ghostbustersboasted a title song from R&B musician, Ray Parker Jr., whose catchy number haunted pop charts and dance floors around the world.

Their second single, a febrile hymn to nuclear Armageddon called “Two Tribes,” stoked controversy with its Cold War-inspired video, which depicted the US President Ronald Reagan and his USSR ...
This 80s music video feels more like a 1920s music video. A nefarious criminal mastermind with hypnotic powers, Dr. Mabuse was a fictional character who inspired German film director Fritz Lang to make three movies about him. He also influenced German synth pop group Propaganda’s debut single, “Dr. Mabuse,” whose dramatic video filmed at night by t...
As a musician, jazz pianist Herbie Hancock has always embraced technological innovation so it was no surprise when “Rockit,” his groundbreaking hip-hop-meets-techno-funk single launched perhaps the most futuristic 80s music video. The main focus of the video isn’t Hancock – whose head and hands are occasionally glimpsed on a TV set – but a manic ar...
Few groups could sing harmonies like the Beach Boys, and their smooth sound no doubt helped the song become as popular as it did. On a side note, while the video shows Al Jardine and Carl Wilson singing backup, it also shows Mike Love, who reportedly was not on the original recording.
