The quintessential '80s video: Lovin' Every Minute of It

[yendi]

Really, you don't get much more '80s than this. At a wild party, the lead singer of the band hangs up the phone and just starts singing, while hot girls join in on the chorus and fondle him. They all wander down the hall, where they hit other rooms and pick up the rest of the band, who are doing things like playing the piano in a Liberace-esque setting, welding a guitar, playing strip poker, and drumming (they were out of ideas, I guess). The entire entourage wanders down the hall, crams into an elevator, and heads down to a club, where they kick the Talking Heads off the stage and start playing. You just don't get any more '80s than this.

The funny thing is, much as I was a huge Loverboy fan, and definitely remember this song, I don't recall this video at all. Probably because it's the perfect archetype of all other '80s videos, and thus barely has any identity of its own.

is it wrong that I thought this was a Def Leppard song?

although, in some of the rifs, I'm hearing echoes of stuff from The Wall, especially around 1:10-1:20

and drumming (they were out of ideas, I guess)

*insert drummer intelligence joke here*

I was wondering if I'd remember the video, because I didn't based on the description. As soon as I started watching, it all came back to me... =)
