Worst music videos of all time

1. I was reading an book on MTV. And one thing everybody agreed on was that the worst video in MTV's hey day was Billy Squire's Rock me tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZvl2aqI… which ended up probably derailing his career. Yeah that's one is pretty bad.

2. I actually saw Henry Rollins making fun Morrisey in one interview about this one and recently youtubed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv8LdKp2… I used to love the Smiths but this was just so ridiculous I've lost all respect for Morrisey and everything he's ever done. And I'm a pretty open minded dude.

3. This one is so bad it's actually fucking awesome. But it is terrible. By Falco, people probably know the After the fire cover version more than this original of Der Kommisar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-bgiiTx… I know the 80's was a crazy time but how much crack do you have to be on to make that fucking thing.


I think the moral of the story is, do not film yourself dancing around like a little fag ever.

In the early days of MTV they didn't have a deep catalog of videos to play. Some real garbage made it on the air in heavy rotation. And a lot of early videos were concert footage spliced with the band playing on a soundstage.

not sure if his manager was one of those that the record company assigns to the artist but billy squier was probably told by that asshole to don't say no to making that shit video.

The bad videos seem to have one thing in common. A really great beat that draws you in. Without that, no one would know about the video.

Queen - I Want To Break Free
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Mc-NYP…
Even if you could look past the fact they're dressed up in drag, WTF with the vacuuming and dusting. And Freddie in a cow suit, stuffing his face in a pile of grapes?

Why are you all bent out of shape by Queen being in drag? Distracts the casual viewer from Freddie’s overbite. Also, the frickin’ band name is Queen. If I watch a video by a band named Queen I wanna see some frickin’ queens!

Just like if I go to a Taylor Swift concert I wanna see Princess Tay Tay on stage complaining about her exes. Sheesh. Use your head. And go to some Tay Tay concerts. Normally this rick is all about the hairless ape strippers and the Jack and Jim and Johnnie but I also likes me the Tay Tay. ROAR!!!

I think just about any music video that Beavis and Butthead made fun of in their show would be in the running.

Damn straight motorhead ape. If only Princess Tay Tay would record a version. I’m working on a special version just for her. It is called “The Lion Likes Short Skirts”. ROAR!!!

The video for I Want To Break Free was a parody of a popular British tv show that was airing at that time.
