Another great video that makes the song seem lesser on the radio: Petty, "Don't come Around Here No More."


I thought that video empitomized what was wrong with MTV at the time: over-elaborate, over-art-directed, show-offy, and having little to do with the actual song.

I wish I could puff-puff in real-time. But, the smoke wafting over the cubicle wall would give me away.

BOS to "Careless Whisper," and points docked from Dave for suggesting that this might be a Hit From Hell (six-six-six-six-six).  This is a well-written song with a memorable refrain, a catchy sax riff, and one of the most powerful vocal performances of the decade (just wait til George hits his stride on the final verse).
