Good choice! It would have to win the best video of the 80's.

That's hard to say. Off the top of my head I can think of MANY innovative and great videos from the 80s, mostly from around '83 and '84.

Thriller (the full lenth thing) - if you have to ask...
Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie
You Might Think - The Cars
Cry - Godley and Creme
Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel

All of which are far better than Take On Me. But that is just my opinion, of course.

It's just too hard to come up with a definative 80s song.
