Since I began this musical journey back and time about a year ago I have realized just how bad a lot of old music videos really are. Everyone back in the day used to laugh at the video for the Journey song Separate Ways because it was so unimaginative. Just the band and the pier watching a pretty walk by.
It was a great song with a horrible video.
Well Journey didn't have a monopoly on great songs with bad promotional videos as todays entry from Go West called Call Me will prove.
There is a log of jerky dancing, people flipping through the air, people on the ceiling and yellow paint falling from the ceiling. In fact there is a lot of kooky stuff going on up there.
The only redeeming thing about this clip in the whole Attack of the 50ft Woman reference, which unfortunately is way to brief and underexplored.
Go West was possibly the greatest 80s group that you have never heard of. Their self titled debut album was one of the best collection of songs produced that decade.
Here is a bonus video from Go West's debut album called Don't Look Down:
Go West are an English pop duo, formed in 1982 by lead vocalist Peter Cox and rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Richard Drummie. At the 1986 Brit Awards, they received the Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act. The duo enjoyed popularity between the mid 1980s and the early 1990s and are best known for the international top 10 hits "We Close Our Eyes", "Call Me", "Faithful", and "King of Wishful Thinking"; the latter was featured in the 1990 film Pretty Woman.
