I feel so behind the times....I first heard this song in restaurant bathroom a couple of days ago and was captured! Then again, I wasn't born until '88 and my parents are big motowners. But thanks for posting!

Despite the fact that the original album version is 6 min long having any version of "Media Man" is better than nothing.

I had it, I posted it, you saw it. That's what YouTube is all about.

It's hard to tell from this version, but back when I saw it directly off TV it appeared they did all those flash and split-screen effects in film editing rather than in video. It would have been easy to do those effects in video, but doing heavy effects like that in film gave it a strange look. Pretty impressive.

This video is so old that these effects weren't available as video effects for another couple of years. ADO (Ampex Digital Opticals) didn't appear until the mid-80s. This was probably done on a multi-plane camera system, or possibly a Clearlight slide system.

HappinessIsDionne said: wow this brings me back to junior high school, running home to watch that new channel *** when they actually showed lots of nonstop videos.
Please don't mention the names of broadcast networks. That's how they find and delete videos. Thanks.
