80's Ballad Friday

Let’s take a musical break, shall we?


Total Eclipse of the Heart: Literal Video Version

I could watch these for hours. This song is the best one I’ve seen so far. Such a simple yet brilliant idea. Mullet with headlights?!


80’s Ballad Friday: LITA!

So we’ve talked all week about the awesome line-up at the Schad Rent Party this weekend. But none will be bigger than the biggest superstar 80’s metal ever produced. Lita Ford in the house at the Gallery Cab? Uh-huh. It ain’t no big thing. Now go hump that guitar Lita!


80’s Ballad Friday

It’s been a while. Sorry about that. Now that we are done with our WTTW pilot taping, we can get back to the more important things in life: surfing YouTube for awesome 80’s ballads. How did I miss this one? It has a lady. It has really bad graphics. It has a limber [...]


80’s Ballad Friday

Let’s get back to some serious 80’s ballads. This is one of the better ones just because it blends the sappy message ballad with a jog down cliche’ lane. Yeah, children. They are the future. I wonder how much tail they got from this song. And I wonder how many [...]


80’s Ballad Friday: Sort of.

This is a departure, but only because it might be the best video of the 80’s. It combines hot star, soundtrack tune, clips from the movie and a new plot that has nothing to do with the movie but has all the players in it. Can you guess? That’s right – Ally and the [...]


80’s Ballad Friday

Look at the hair on display here.  No weird plots, just awesome hair.


Sometimes She Cries….

And then walks in a muddy cornfield for a while without her baby. Ah, a classic ballad here. I usually leave the critique to the video but this song is really, really bad. I love that Warrant is all about the ladies and their pain. Then of course, they dive in [...]


80’s Ballad Friday

This was on my bookmarks all week. I looked at it, biting my lip in anticipation for today.  It’s been a week. Therefore, it’s time for 80’s Ballad Friday!!!!!  This week comes from Mike who reminded us last week of the wonderful world of Nelson. This isn’t as much a ballad although it is pretty [...]


80’s Ballad Friday

I think Winger had a gay director.  It’s fine, but I wonder if they knew that.  Or maybe Kip has a vision.  This is definitely one of those videos where you have to ask: Who’s hotter? The hot girl? or the lead singer?


80’s Ballad Friday

So this song is not really that obscure. I have it on my I-pod. But for the life of me, I couldn’t remember the video. Boy, how did this one not stick with me? I wonder if the director is European. This is art meets ballad at it’s best.
