8. Got you all beat...

To be a quintessential 80's video you need the following ingredients:

1. A catchy tune.
2. Lots of mugging by the lead singer.
3. Pointless shots of faux guitaring and keyboarding, largely meaningless.
4. Some attempt at a story, which is not easily discerned.
5. A guy in a kilt with a caber in his hands for no adequately explained reason.

For this, I give you:

Slade's Run Runaway

10. Here's two....

1. What other 80's includes a Little Person in a court jester's outfit, and a meaningless mimicry of the letter 'S' by one's exaggerated body movements?

2. Or, winning the nomimation for most musicians wearing overalls while listening to Irish fiddle tunes...
