FD, great collection of songs long forgotten. They reminded me of the 80's and why I converted to outlaw country.
MTV, big hair, singers floating around on cables, half naked gals with pointy tits, and queer bands all contributed to my crossing over to country.

Lucky the Dog had a bad dream. Probably squirrels trying to get his food.

Has it all. Post apocalyptic warehouse district, Thunder Dome'ish set, with symbolic rat race of life angst

A crap load of 80's video elements culminating with singing while standing very close to a series of open flames.

Here's a good one that screams 80s

get out your boom boxes w/extra D batteries, your broken down cardboard box, and head to the Brooklyn Street corner with your fellow b-boys to break while you watch this absolutely insane video from the one, the ONLY….Herbie Hancock

who’s ready for a full blown cartoony acid trip? if it’s good enough for frank Zappa it’s good enough for me

Blasphemer!

This song was featured in "Stop Making Sense" (maybe the best concert film ever made). Tom Tom Club was a side project of David Byrne and Talking Heads. Not Frank Zappa.

Absolute Jam.

Live version is better (even if it was lip-synched)

I should’ve been more clear on that one…I wasn’t saying this was a Zappa project…Zappa was quoted as saying this was his favorite music video, thus making it good enough for me.

Fair play to you.

Was not aware of the Zappa quote, but I could see why he'd be down with that vid.
