    Good topic. I've had this song in my head for two days (and it's been a great two days):

    The guitar kicks so much a--.

    [rquoter]
    I am the son and the heir /
    Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar /
    I am the son and the heir /
    Of nothing in particular[/rquoter]

    I can't get over how "son"/"heir" are homonyms with "sun" & "air": a lyric about his crippling timidity/weakness is at the same time a boast of his own immortality/power, and vice versa. Morrissey may have ended up a weirdo vegetarian racist, but god could he write.

    The introduction of synthesizers, modern technology, to music. I can't last twenty minutes without looking into some sort of computer or phone screen; Gary Numan called all of this. Sure, there were electric guitars before, but the '80s were when music truly became more human than human.

    You weren't lying. This is greatness.

    Q: If you're Mick Jagger, and your apex was twenty years earlier, how do you stay relevant?
    A: Tank up to the gills, and DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!

    I especially like how they were big enough stars at the time that they could demand the entire video be shot in one take (witness Jagger getting a swig of beer/Diet Coke at 1:37).

    Like Frank Sinatra in the Manchurian Candidate, only with blouses.

    Not a video, but a classic song. I remember having four 15" woofers in my Mustang and jamming this on Westhiemer or Center Street!
