After hearing much praise over the years for the video to Two Tribes, I wasn't expecting to see Spitting Image types in a sandpit. Of course, the song still sends shivers up the spine, and doubtless you had to be there at the time, but you don't get much sense of a nuclear apocalypse. So, any other examples where videos haven't stood the test of time, or conversely, have aged better than the music?

And here's a video that has indeed aged really, really terribly.
Big Audio Dynamite: Medicine Show
Aside from everything else, someone seems to have told Mick that the camera loves him. I wouldn't necessarily say that that's the case.

Bill Paxton was in a band a really really bad band, who made a really really spectacularly awful video.

Dated can be good cant it?
Pet Shop Boys - Love Comes Quickly is fairly dated, but in a decent way.
I guess they done it on a lower budget than others because it was the third single from the LP, but it captures the 80's moodiness of what was perhaps the only song of theirs to come close to matching West End Girls.

Music videos seem to have an uncanny knack of framing the era they were part of, and I like that there's distinctions between eras.
To that end, this is an effort from the 1980's, with swiss pop duo double singing 'the captain of her heart', in a 'live' performance on Peter's popshow.
Double - The Captain Of Her Heart
Clarinet: check
silhouetted woman swaying on stage for no reason: check
mullets: check
cheesy piano break: check
Yep, this is from the 1980's.

This might be more some bad moves trapped in amber than a truly dated video, but I watched the Stones' Start Me Up the other day and, well.
Mick Jagger in skin-tight "dance yourself dizzy" duds, having recently had enough dance lessons to lose any sense of rhythm or movement. Ron Wood looking like my mate Darren's mum if she'd been up freebasing for three days. Bill Wyman looking in dire need of conditioner. Charlie Wats wondering how he got himself into this situation. And Keef kind of getting away with it as usual.

Jagger's got form.

They're off their fucking faces!

lucia, what is the story with jagger's pants? as for his dancing, it just looks like he doesn't have the energy to do it any more. He can do it for a bit, then lapses into an old mans version of it. like a football manager doing a bit of ball juggling on the side line, when the ball comes his way, to give us all a sad reminder that 20 years ago he used to be a footballer and not fat man in his fifties.
