Yup - Stand and Deliver - jesus 'even though you fool your soul, your conscience will be mine, all mine'

Then George Michael with that tambourine in the I'm Your Man video. WOWZER!

TinyGarden · 05/09/2020 09:32

Cue lots of people googling the Stand and Deliver video to see what all the fuss is about. ☺️

LEELULUMPKIN · 05/09/2020 09:33

Phil Oakey - "Don't you want me baby"

Simon Le Bon "Save a prayer" & "Rio"

Ha ha.
They didn't have music videos back then Grin

Ooh, good thread topic. Probably Animal Nitrate by Suede, because Brett was so pretty. Not because of the weird pig S&M stuff. And yes, I had already had a bit of a moment courtesy of the Goblin King too.

@HelplessProcrastinator

I Need You Tonight - INXS was proper sexy feelings.
Yes, yes, yes. Michael Hutchence is the only man who could ever sing this song for me. No one else would do.

The Smiths, This Charming Man on TOTP. Morrissey was it, as far as I was concerned.

Shame he turned out to be a colossal knob.

Prince in Purple Rain, the film more than the video

ItsAlwaysSunnyOnMN · 05/09/2020 09:39

A few year after Adam Ant it was Billy Idol White Wedding Grin

ImaSababa · 05/09/2020 09:40

Lady Marmalade. It made me realise I wasn't straight!

hollyandkit · 05/09/2020 09:41

Gett Off - Prince. There was lots to think about with that one !

LEELULUMPKIN · 05/09/2020 09:43

One of the best days of my life growing up was being taken to Manchester (our nearest big city with cool clothes) by my lovely late Mum who had saved hard to buy me a very special outfit.

It was the full Adam Ant get up. Frilly voluminous shirt paired with black velvet knickerbockers.

Totally out of place where I lived but I thought (and did) :) look like the kippers knickers!

It was my very first "grown up" trendy outfit and I never took it off!

Mrsfrumble · 05/09/2020 09:47

Yes to Morten Harkett in the Take on Me video. I was 7 and wanted to be the girl who got pulled into the comic book soooo badly!

Also Manic Monday by the Bangles. I’m straight, but would still change my mind for 80s Susannah Hoffs.

ChickenwingChickenwing · 05/09/2020 09:48

Oh, Alicia Silverstone in the Aerosmith video 'Cryin' she was about 16 but to be fair we are the same age. It was then I realised that females were hot.

Italiangranny · 05/09/2020 09:51

Don’t stand so close to me by The Police. I was 13, ... Sting was at his most oddly beautiful then. That was when the hormones really kicked in.

First record I bought myself was ‘you’re the one that I want’ but I was not in love with travolta. My lifelong tendency to go for the cheeky secretly sweet bad boy started with Jeff Conaway as Kenickie.

Agree wholeheartedly re Adam Ant. Goody Two Shoes, OMG.

Pelleas · 05/09/2020 10:00

Alice Cooper's leather jeans in the Poison video!

SimonJT · 05/09/2020 10:01

There are technically two.

Both watched on Q the music channel at a friends house.

  1. Slave for you by Britney with my friends, but I was thinking “wtf are they on about?” as I didn’t get what was so good about it. They recorded it on video 😂
  1. Whats my age again by Blink182, ah, I see. ‘Sadly’ my friends thought it was really funny so I got to watch that a fair bit.

Nick Heyward from Haircut 100, singing Favourite Shirt on TOTP. Every girl at school the next day was talking about 'that fit lad'. I was 14 and have had a penchant for floppy fair hair and blue eyes ever since. He was just so darn cute.

margaritasbythesea · 05/09/2020 10:09

Just one black and white photo of Prince in silk and giving a saucy look.

So many possibilities.

Summerhillsquare · 05/09/2020 10:11

I cringe now but New Kids on the Block - some of them had the Right Stuff!

RoxytheRexy · 05/09/2020 10:12

Pulp on TFI Friday. Skinny indie lads are my thing to this day. I married one

battlestargalactica · 05/09/2020 10:13

wild boys - duran duran strapped to a windmill - who could resist? :D

Oldraver · 05/09/2020 10:14

Butterfly Crazy Town

I'd spent years in sterile relationship

Cocolapew · 05/09/2020 10:15

Little Red Corvette by Prince.
An honourable mention must go to the Nick Kamen Levi's 501 advert

samandpoppysmummy · 05/09/2020 10:16

Also Adam and the Ants 'Stand and Deliver' Grin
