i wonder why they chose that domain name.
Pretty cool site, lots of videos I didn't even know existed.
However, it does reinforce the thought we didn't really know how to dress or style hair back then.
thanks for the post!

This post is like a flashback from the 80's.

URL is initially different, although just as strange, but you get redirected to the above site.

K.I.T.T. jumping through that plane was the high point of my young life. I had never seen anything so cool.

Were there Hasslehoff songs during 'Knight Rider'? Why did they use footage, or is that a fan video?

It was good to finally see Total Coelo's "I eat cannibals". Just as craptacular as I expected!

Definitely. I just watched the Toy Soldiers video and got gooseflesh. It transported me back to 1989 when I was in high school. It's a great song you never hear anymore and listening to it and watching the video just seemed really strange.

Funny to see the MTV logo...still the time when they showed videos almost night and day. I was able to see the birth of MTV and then the death of it from elementary school to when I graduated high school in 1991. I trace the death of MTV to around 1992 with the birth of The Real World. The network has gone steadily down hill ever since.

I know there are some classic video channels but I would love to see MTV or one of it's sister channels take a hour block or more straight from say...1985, and just play it as it was presented at that time. Same VJs, intros, playlists, news...everything. I can remember sitting around with my friends waiting for "Little Red Corvette" or "The Reflex" to come on as we played with our Star Wars action figures. Ahhh, nostalgia...damn.

Martika!

Liked her a lot when she was in Kids Incorporated.

But not as much as Stacie Ferguson (who now goes by "Fergie" and was in Black Eyed Peas). Yeah, Stacie was really young, but so was I around that time!

Other actors/actresses/singers who were once on KIDS Inc.: Jennifer Love Hewitt and Eric Balfour.

Also, after quickly browsing through the list, I've seen at least a couple that were videos from the early 90s, and not the 80s. Still cool, though.

I used to dress like Mike Reno...how gay was I?

I don't remember Spike being in "Eye of the Tiger" as kid.

The Sundays don't go back to the 80's, do they? I wish they were still making albums, though.
