Fenwyck - "Mindrocker"

Another cheat, as the footage comes from the short-lived Hardy Boys cartoon series, which preceded the very similar Scooby Doo by precisely one week.

I like videos with dancing chicks. They can be twerking stripper types or classy dames like Gavin Turek, it doesn't matter as long as it's sexy.

Mastodon- Motherload

Tuxedo- 2nd Time Around

Gavin Turek- Whitney

Doja Cat- Streets

Actually I’m gonna sort of take back what I said previously although Tonight, Tonight was a great vid and loved that as a kid.

But I think my favorite is a homemade vid not an official one

Fast cars, fast women, loud guitars and walls of Marshall amps. Anything else is superfluous.

Scopitone is a type of jukebox featuring a 16 mm film component. Scopitone films were a forerunner of music videos.

Based on Soundies technology developed during World War II, color 16 mm film shorts with a magnetic soundtrack were designed to be shown in a specially designed jukebox

By 1964, approximately 500 machines were installed in the United States, most of which were deliberately targeted at cocktail lounges and adult establishments, in part to avoid competition with the jukebox industry for the teen audience.

The Back Porch Majority - "The Mighty Mississippi"

Maybe my favorite Scopitone, which illustrates how they were different from other music films of the time. The innocuous folkie singalong is given a rather saucy visual treatment.

12 posts in a thread about music videos and no Shaggs? What gives? Even had one titled but tgoat is. Figured for sure that would be it. Disappointing.

Do have to say I got a good laugh out of the Leonard Nimoy though.

You are absolutely right, of course
