Here is a song you have probably never heard before.

I remember this video from way back in the early 1980s (yes I am old) when I used to watch it on music video channels we would get on our huge satellite dish. This was back when MTV was just starting out and it had a lot of competition.



I remember laughing at the drummer because he barely had to do anything.

Watch him in this live performance of the song,..

Here is another video they used to show a lot back in the early 80s.

The problem was, back then there really wasn't very much content to choose from, the video music channels pretty much made do with that was available,...



Later on things got better as more bands started making music videos.

This was one of the first videos I can remember that was actually good.

Yep back in the day

I was stationed at RAF Bentwaters in 1982 and there was MTV type program that came on British TV
Not as bad as that stuff if I remember right

Can't say I've ever seen Neil Peart eating chocolate while playing.

This guy may give him a run for his money!!!

I don't know this song, but can recall several other WTF moments from 1980's videos (Devo anyone?).

My favourite part from that video is at 1:01 as the leader singer comes over, and the drummer turns to him as if to say "Dude, seriously? Can't you see I'm working here? I've got a drum roll coming up in a few seconds!"

My favorite part is in the second video I posted at 0:24. The guitarist reaches over and tries to make the drummer's hair stand up in a point in the middle, (like his hair is in the music video), and the drummer gets all annoyed and smacks him on the arse with his drumstick.
