The Cars - "Drive"
Directed by Ron Howard
with Ric Ocasek and Paulina Porizkova.....about how a beautiful woman can completely come apart and destroy herself. There are also references to alcoholism in the song and video too. Great video, though sad. Worth remembering with a message.

80s Music Video Flashback
A-Ha - Take On Me
Take on Me may symbolize the 1980’s era of music videos more than any other. It also was one of the earliest attempts to make a music video play out like a story - the plot may not be much (comic book character falls in love with human girl, becomes human so they can live happily ever after), but its a story nonetheless.
Directed by Steve Barron in 1985. Barron directed more than two dozen music videos in the 1980s including Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, Human League’s Don’t You Want Me and Culture Club’s Karma Chameleon, before going on to a couple feature film comedies in the 1990’s - including Coneheads and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
