This video is straight up early MTV 80's cheese. Terrible clothes, cheesy lighting, not really sure what to do on camera, odd close ups for no particular reason...Yes to all. The song certainly sounds 80's. But it was on all of the time.
Couple of questions:
1) Why was it Scandal featuring Patty Smyth? Was it because people would think it was Patti Smith and give it a shot? She wasn't a household name best I can tell.
2) She was hot. Very hot in 1981/82.
3) This is a song where the video probably increased their airplay as bad as the video is in hindsight.
Good song..very 80's vibe video. Good entry for a guy that I doubt had never heard this song before.
