Go Big Hair or Go Home: Is This the Greatest Music Video of the 1980s?

by gerard


“Let the revels begin
Let the fire be started
We’re dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted!”

Smoking! From the strange and brooding Streets of Fire , a film that improves with age like a surprising vintage of blood-dark wine. Arguably, when all the components are taken into account, this cut (Fire, Inc) is the best music video from the era of the big hair. Perhaps the best music video ever to date. Up to you. But I am sure you’ll agree that when American pop pulls it all together, lays it all out, and smacks it down in the groove, there’s no other country that can do touch us.

Did Ethan Russell direct it? If not, how could it be?
