Men At Work - It's A Mistake (1983 Home Video)

[Burg875]

Proof that 80's music was just plain fun!

[MrRissato]

That's fucking nostalgic! When I see videos from the '80s I start imagining how great it'd be if I'd been there! People in the same age of mine keep thinking that we are better than the people from the past! Poor mistake! Nowadays we judge people by clothes and we listen to songs that doesn't mean anything. Look at them! They're having fun, wearing what they want to wear. And the song has a message that we all needed to hear. Pay attention teenagers.

@MrRissato

People are the same in every generation. It doesn't matter what era you lived in. I grew up in the 80's. Believe me. If you grew up in the 80's, your peers would've judged you by the clothes and shoes you wore, your hairstyle, your car, what your parents did for a living, where you lived, what kind of music you listened to, etc. We thought we were far more superior than the generations before us as well. You'll understand as you get older. This song did have a good message though.

@MrRissato

I would've been about the same age as those guys in that video and let me tell you that was a great decade to be alive! 1,000,000,000 x better than today. The music ruled and the people were friendly and had fun.

Teens today don't know $hi! from shinola!

Viva la 80's.

[richardaiken1]

@rubber4532

[kind2311]

[nephilimiyr]

[duduxwastin]

[T5radioop]

I got a kick out of that. VHS in 1983, you must of been using a portable VCR with a seperate nuvicon camera? I don't think camcorders were even out then and VCRs were just getting popular I think.

[bafeet]

@T5radioop you are right, curtis mathis brand also had such a camera, we had one...damn pack with half the vcr where you put the tapes weighed about 90 lbs.

[duduxwastin]

This is WHY i wished i lived in the 80's

lucky sons of bitches.

i love the tube socks :/

[nephilimiyr]

dudux, the 80's weren't that great, I thought they were at the time because I graduated high school in 82 and was freed from my parents!

[lctrout]

WOW!....thank you so much for putting this up. Took me right back to "83...sophomore in High School.

[rickerchvzla]

wow!..nice and funny indeed!..these guys must be now in their early forties or something ...80's was a marvellous time...it will never come back...shamely

[JP5466]

If I wore shorts that short, something would be hanging out.

[mrdjjames]

Half Shirt! That takes me back!

[gmr366]

Like the ol' ac/dc song goes....It's A Long Way To The Top If You Wanna Rock ...

[dyonker]

Those shorts LOL!!!!

[buccobilly28]

Hey Lumotaku, who gives a shit, its a great song thats what matters

[jrock714]

too funny, man. we alllll used to wear that stuff growing up in the 80's and we allll loved men at work. ha, ha

[petermanidds]

The drummer is real talented!!!! If only he had a real drum set instead of a upside trashcan!! Good work overall though!!!

[christophe555]

I like this video, its endearing. Alot of kids dressed like that back then, skateboarders always wore the high-tubes, check out any early 80's skate video.

[SirenKain]

OK a few things

1. Those shorts reveal WAY to much!

2. A tuba?

[Lumotaku]

Dude the guy on left is gay. I bet you hes queerer than a 3 dollar bill.

[BernhardtFIN]

I just love the 80's fashion. Very inspiring.

[photobag]

i know these kids. only one of them had enuf fashion sense to not wear tube socks pulled all the way up! that lead singer is a tool but the drummer rocks. post more home movies, these are priceless.
