Actually, it does remind me of "Don't Crush that Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers" just a little.

In the 80's the company I worked for at the time edited many, many videos for MTV. We even had MTV in one of our studios as a client. There were some dogs.

Years later I found out a recent co-worker, Paul, was the Keyboard player in the 80's band "Animotion". Their only hit was the song, "Obsession". The video is horrendous. Paul, is the guy dressed as the Sheik. I pick on him all the time about the video. He's a great guy and a good sport.


Here's a link to the video: http://youtu.be/hIs5StN8J-0

I guess those early videos tended to go heavy on the camp or just bizarre. See most anything Bowie or Bryne or......
