The 80s will find you naked.

Wow. This morning I tuned in to VH1 Classic's video show, Totally 80's. These are only a small subset of the retro-horror that I experienced. Words can not describe how old these videos made me feel.

Duran Duran - The Wild Boys

When I was in high school, I had no idea why so many gay men liked Duran Duran.

El DeBarge - Who's Johnny?

Yes, this is from Short Circuit. Yes, that's Ally Sheedy.

Force MDs - Tender Love

I could not stop staring at the Cosby sweaters.

Bobby Brown - Every Little Step

Bicycle shorts with suspenders— just one of many wardrobe malfunctions taking place in this video.

(To be fair, they also showed Peter Gabriel - Shock the Monkey and Billy Joel - Pressure. But those only made me feel old because of how young and thin Peter Gabriel and Billy Joel looked back then.)

Top-loading VCRs!

I expected more nearly-naked boys from your Duran Duran comment.
