Good lord. A million shades of wrongitude, but eventually the edifice is mighty.
Shot in a lock-up in Houston, background added later from stock footage at the local Polaroid processing outlet.
Dude necked an E before the shoot, his jaw is all over the place.
Chick is Marlene from Only Fools And Horses in blackface.
I can't watch it at work ("Banned In Your Region, Klaus!") yet I already feel any shits and/or giggles it actually generates would fall way short of the lofty inner guffawing the above prose alone has generated.
Talmbout lemon tea out of the nose whilst trying to play it cool.
For this I thank you.

Sorry Batmon... but this was not on MTV back in the day... was it? Because I'm a certified early 80s MTV head. The only "R&B" type isht I remember was "Billie Jean".
Don't remember this tacky video, but I certainly recall the song. Entered the charts that spring, and was seemingly blaring from everybody's backyard, open window and basketball court that summer.
Quality video, looks like they busted into the local cable access studio to shoot it. Dennis should have scheduled his root canal for after the shoot, he's obviously still having problems feeling his jaw.

This was on Hot Tracks...BITD.
MTV didnt play R&B until Thriller.

I was going to say, MJ and Prince were the only Black artists to break into MTV back then.
MJ was pop, Prince was rock. No R&B allowed.

So many shades of wrongness, but then the track is so good, all is forgiven.
Straight gurning
This video is gif heaven.
People have to quit hating, acting like they are too sophisticated to dig.
Can we get a gif of the air guitar move?
