[QUOTE="invitro, post: 219969, member: 446"] So you want more? Alrighty then! Next up, one of the worst videos ever. Everybody in it looks so freakin' angry that they have to spend their Saturday morning whoring themselves for an idiotic song and video. Just look at them. After the shoot, they probably all went right home and beat their wives and husbands. But damn, is it professional. [MEDIA=youtube]EcXT1clXc04[/MEDIA] Almost forgot: The Fabulous Thunderbirds - "Tuff Enuff" (1986, #10). It was their only top ten single.
