Ah, the ‘80s! A time when music videos were an essential part of pop culture, and I spent my afternoons glued to the screen, munching on Pringles and sipping on Fresca. Those were the days before binge-watching became a thing; we just called it “never leaving the couch.” As a kid, I didn’t question the bizarre elements of these videos. But now, years later, a few curious thoughts have popped into my head, so let’s dive into 13 burning questions I have about some of the most iconic ’80s music videos.

1. Madonna, ‘Papa Don’t Preach’
   What’s the deal with that charming guy who got her in a bit of a bind?
2. Bananarama, ‘Venus’
   Seriously, where can I score those jeans? I’d totally rock that look today.
3. Culture Club, ‘Karma Chameleon’
   What’s Boy George doing on a riverboat circa 1870? And how do riverboat card games connect to red, gold, and green?
4. Pet Shop Boys, ‘West End Girls’
   Why does one Pet Shop Boy seem to have nothing to do? I can just imagine him thinking, “Is it my turn to shine yet?”
5. Cyndi Lauper, ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’
   Did anyone nail fashion quite like Cyndi Lauper? I’d totally wear that pink dress today!
6. Richard Marx, ‘Right Here Waiting’
   This is odd—what exactly is he saying? He’s definitely not “right here waiting” when he’s off on an international tour, basking in adoration. It’s like a tribute to Richard Marx’s own awesomeness, yet this song takes me right back to my high school days.
7. A-ha, ‘Take On Me’
   Why does the waitress crumpling the comic trigger the bad guys to come back?
8. Survivor, ‘Eye Of the Tiger’
   What’s with all the anger? They’re just heading to band practice, right?
9. Men at Work, ‘Down Under’
   Are they properly protected with sunscreen out there?
10. Irene Cara, ‘Flashdance…What a Feeling’
    Is it too late for me to pick up welding skills?
11. Michael Jackson, ‘Thriller’
    I adore this video, but seriously—why is it so long? Can you imagine enduring those first five to eight minutes without fast-forward?
12. Rick Astley, ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’
    How many outfits does he actually wear throughout this video?
13. Starship, ‘We Built This City’
    Can you believe Grace Slick is now 75? Time flies!

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! There are countless other classics like “Sweet Child O’ Mine” or “Another One Bites the Dust” that deserve some attention too.
