Context, for those who aren't old as fuck 😞.

my personal opinion: A-ha's Take on Me was the greatest music video of all time. what's your choice?

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I don't know about greatest of all time, but it was definitely a work of art.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Good question. I would say probably something by Michel Gondry like the video he did for Chemical Brothers' Star Guitar or Let Forever Be or maybe one of his Björk videos.

But I'd definitely put Take on Me at the top of the 80s video pile. My absolute favorite video of that era would be And She Was by the Talking Heads, but Take on Me is so overplayed at this point that I'm not sure if that's why I don't like it as much.

I don't think it's fair to compare Thriller to other music videos...

Possibly NSFW if your boss is a dick.

I'm really into animation, so my favorite is The Greatest Living Show by Itoki Hana and Toby Fox. It's a rather recent one, but my second favorite is a classic : Love Is All by Roger Glover and Ronny James Dio.

Foo Fighters - Everlong

Easy: Separate Ways by Journey

I'm old enough to get this, and that makes me a little sad.

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 7 points 4 months ago

I'm sure he took on him

I'm the only who saw a W in his forehead and though the joke was that she was sleeping with Wario?

[–] ulkesh@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Millennial spotted!

But seriously, I’m so old I got this joke right away.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Most millennials will be familiar with the Literal Video version of the song, at least. That thing was everywhere in 2008.

[–] brsrklf@jlai.lu 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Early millennials grew up with the original. Even though I was born around when the song released, I've seen that music video many, many times on TV in late 80s/early 90s.

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 4 months ago

Hell, Family guy made fun of it at one point. Don't have to be that old to recognize it pretty quickly.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Also true, thanks VH1!

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I did too and I thought it was great.

After a good chuckle, it's not great, but it's still pretty decent.

Buhu I'm so fucking old -literally everyone here

Even my 15 year old nephew knows the song and video. Stop projecting.

Genuinely made me exhale from my nose
