To me, this is video sums up so much about the early 80s club scene. Steve Strange, R.I.P. . . .

They look so young. And Bono dances like a girl. Still a great song though...

A classic. Just Stewart trying to make Sting laugh the whole time.

Thing is everyone was dancing like that at that moment in time, following the lilt of the music of the day.

 

Great choices especially ^^this one^^

Ian McColluchs voice is shot now due to decades of smoking (I can't believe he still smokes) - but I've still got tickets to see them in October.

Here's one of my all-time favorite songs - interesting Note: Ian is on record saying that he always credits God as a cowriter on this song - because no human could write these lyrics by themselves.

So much good stuff, but this is the quintessential 80's song.

if we're talking iconic 80s videos, this one's gotta be on the list. The guy is still dancing with fans at his concerts because of this video.
