Cool And Calculating In The 80s World

I really have way more nostalgia for Rick Springfield's "Human Touch" video than it probably deserves. Probably because it managed to correctly use an SF plot as symbolism.

(Man, just removing those spiked cuffs from the women's outfits would decrease the 80s qoutient by about 30%, nu?)

Whew! For a minute I was thinking of "Bop Til You Drop" by mistake.

The video for "Bop Till You Drop" is not only also stfnal, it was directed by David Fincher. (Yes, really; he also directed Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" and Jermaine Stewart's "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off".)

It's also set in a domed habitat that goofily resembles a pair of tremendous boobs, with "workers" pointlessly moving objects back and forth.

Loved that video

Wow thanks for the flashback. I've always liked this video for the same reasons. 2016 doesn't seem so far away anymore.
