Does it have to be from the '80s? I don't care.

This video looks far more recent than 1995 to me. I dunno, maybe ELW10's right about how nothing much has changed since January 1st 1990...

Full of tacky Bondly goodness...

"Bon. SIMON Le Bon!"

And, to freak you badly and/or annoy you (especially if you're TJ), check this little endurance-test out...

"I see the E-Team!"

Cheers for that, Matthew.

And, to make a nice trio, I still unreservedly love this one. So there.......

Yum yum!

Edited to add: oh alright, just a couple more. Firstly, 90s rather than 80s, but I think that it's fab gear. If only the whole film had had this sort of gleeful zest - and I love the Robert Palmer piss-take with the backing group...

And...relive the glory days of Casio keyboards, improbably-bearded bibbers, and unexpected stabbing incidents leading to hasty TOTP video-stoppage with Trio!

Yeah. Admittedly, Karel carefully has Matthew's last words on the disc be "I hope", but it's still a pretty dismal number...

Searching for "Top of The Pops" or TOTP with 77, 84 etc will find you a few great clips of  The Associates, Human League, Orange Juice etc.

Compare and contrast...

Running around and having a laugh, fig 1 - the warm, likeable, semi-innocent 80s:

Running around and having a laugh, fig 2 - the cold, knowing, not-really-meaning-it 90s:

And here's one for the Caroline Munro fans (and Mr Goddard, before he became a gun-wielding nutter)!

Shame about the bloody screencaps. Ah well.

And more screencaps, but who can resist? Fuzzbox at their finest...Not sure what the Barbarella references are about, but it's bloody good bubblegum punk/pop fun...enjoy!

One of my favourite tunes of the era, The Pastels "Crawl Babies":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shnXuSP8pPs&search=The%20Pastels

I always thought this was the kind of track Syd Barrett would have made if he'd still been recording, and Steven Pastel even looks a tiny bit like him in the video...

The Associates, complete with big top 40 rundown on TOTP:

And, er...ah... erm... oh, just click on the link to be aggravated beyond belief:

Here we go - Alice In Wonderland imagery, bald men with eggs being cracked on their bonce, Batman villains burning big books, and rats eating Bakewell tarts...

...plus one of the most wilfully obscure yet marvellous tunes of the 80s!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_7InCIic2I&search=%22the%20riddle%22

(And that middle-eight bit looks like an escapee from Peter Sellers's psychedelic hallucinatory torture in Casino Royale...)

And this...well, I wasn't sure at first (it's not the downright crazed main title theme), but here's No Turning Back by The Immortals from Biggles. Watch all of he way through for one of the coolest and most charming cameos ever!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wamv7Yi-E6c&search=%22biggles%22

While this stutters a little at the start, but so what? Two of the most gorgeously-voiced female vocalists I'm aware of, and a joyous song...

Best shoegazing song ever:

And this:

(The midway 'breather' pissed off the TOTP crew apparently, who thought the tape had stopped and so started running around like twats. According to Midge's autoiography anyway. Yes, I've read it.)

Talking Heads' 'And She Was':

John Peel and John Walters will walk on dressed in nightshirts in a minute, I'm sure of it.

Nice to see Coil's version of "Tainted Love" on there. That's a fucking grim video. Great though.
