Consider the dafodil, and while you're doing that. I'll be over her going through your stuff.

2. Touchy by A-Ha (Awful video shot in a swimming pool wit

Just about any video by DEVO would qualify I guess. One video in particular that comes to mind is "Once In A Lifetime' by Talking Heads. Loved that "wavy" effect, and David Byrne bent over doing some spastic moves.

DEVO-Freedom of Choice...

1. The best skateboarders at the time (Stacy Peralta, Steve Alba, Dave Andrecht, etc.) skating at the Marina skatepark in Marina Del Rey (R.I.P.).

2. Mutated masks along with red vinyl smocks jumping out of donuts.

3. Ma

depeche mode's "leave in silence" highly entertains me. it's strange. you can watch it on http://archives.depechemode.com/video/m ... index.html. the weird ball bouncing and the different colors--funky stuff. :)

All of you are right, each one of us has a list of favorites videos of those fantastic days. Mine (not necessarily goofy ones) would be:

- Siouxie ("Swimming horses")
- XTC ("Senses working overtime")
- Cure ("The caterpillar")
.

I've always enjoyed watching Talk Talk's "Such A Shame" video. Nothing fancy here except Mark Hollis making funny faces while he's singing one hell of a serious song. Great facial expressions!

Another goofy but well done video is New Order's "True Fa
