I like the video for Dire Straights Money for Nothing a little bit more Mark Knopfler was in a department store and overheard some delivery men talking as they watch MTV on one of the store's tv's I imagine most of the lyrics for Money for Nothing was taken straight from the guys making comments about the rock videos. I wonder if they ever found out what they inspired

I always liked the videos of the 80's. Very innovative. It seems as we got thru the 90's and the new millenium, music video directors seemed to lean towards more broad, story-lined videos, of which a good deal of are very effective. One of my favorite video directors is Samuel Bayer, who started out with Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." One of my favorite videos is an emotionally powerful Sam Bayer piece for Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends." Check it out - very moving and gut-wrenching. I always loved the video that Robert Johnson directed for "Sledgehammer," and it really inspired me towards filmmaking. I got heavily into PG after that, and always looked forward to his next video.

I love this Steve Miller song, had the album too.but the video has gone down in history as the worst cheapest video ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzpe1Rq6f3o I think one of the dancer crashes into the camera and they kept it in lol I loved Golden Earrings Twilight Zone.dancing nazi chicks and all I really liked PG's Shock the Monkey video but it reminded me of a UK show called The Champions (I loved that show) Soome secret agents (3 of them) crash in the Himalayas and some mysterious monks nurse them back to health, and give them super powers.in one of the episodes the British guy/super agent is captured and held in a room (like the one in PG's video) as they play mind games with him.trying to break him Mark Damon (when he was young cute and skinny) from General Hospital was one of the trio and some hot Italian chick was the girl.lol

I loved this song when it came out, but never saw the video till recently In 1990 I won a trip (through my classic Vancouver rock station) to Berlin to see the Rolling Stones. they played the Olympic Stadium, the same one where Hitler snubbed Jesse Owens during the 1936 summer Olympics. when Mick was singing Sympathy for the Devil I was getting a weird image of Hitler, whom I have no sympathy for at all.anywho: Much of the video is shot at Charlottenburgh Palace which was part of the tour 6 of us contest winners got to see. so it was cool when I finally saw the Kayleigh video and there's Fish at Charlottenburgh Palace.I even have a pic of me somewhere, in front of that statue outside the palace http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwNVfNc1IQM Kayleigh (fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley) Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall Do you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair By the way didn't I break your heart? Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart So sorry, I never meant to break your heart But you broke mine Kayleigh is it too late to say I'm sorry? And Kayleigh could we get it together again? I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end Kayleigh, oh I never thought I'd miss you And kayleigh I thought that we'd always be friends We said our love would last forever So how did it come to this bitter end? Do you remember barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars Do you remember loving on the floor in Belsize park Do you remember dancing in stilettos in the snow Do you remember you never understood I had to go By the way, didn't I break your heart? Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart So sorry, I never meant to break your heart But you broke mine Kayleigh I just wanna say I'm sorry But Kayleigh I'm too scared to pick up the phone To hear you've found another lover to patch up our broken home Kayleigh Im still trying to write that love song Kayleigh its more important to me now you're gone Maybe it will prove that we were right Or ever prove that I was wrong
