A classic cb shaw music video. This video runs through a huge list of 80's song titles in the lyrics.

For each song that is referenced, cb shaw flashes the corresponding 80's record sleeve to the camera.

Also, in the beginning of the first verse, he is wearing a T-shirt of each of the 80's songs he is referencing.

Here are the lyrics:

VERSE I

I have dreams of Mr Roboto
And he's dancing in the dark
He's going footloose until he has a total eclipse of the heart
I tell him he's a maniac on the floor
And the truth cuts like a knife
He says "It's still rock n roll to me"
And I say, "You may be right."

The dream changes
And I'm in Rio
The lady in red
Is dancing on the sand
I'm hungry like a wolf
And my parents don't understand

She spins me right round
Like a record
And pours some sugar on me
I said, "Let's dance in the purple rain."
She said, "Do you really want to hurt me?"




VERSE II

She says she's like a virgin
And she tells me to stop
But I love her 99 red balloons
And I want to watch them pop
She does a flash dance for me
Cuz I'm a Tarzan boy
She's naked except for her legwarmers
And a belt that says Boy Toy

I said we can have a white wedding
In our honeymoon suite we'll rebel yell
She said you're kissing to be clever
Throw your careless whispers down your wishing well
Like you were on Fame
And I was on Moonraker
Where the streets have no name
Cuz you ain't nothing but a heartbreaker




VERSE III

I met this Karma Chameleon
Wearing Dexie's Midnight Runners
I said that look is over
She said that look is down under
She said "I like to walk like an Egyptian,
And my Adidas help me get some."
I said, "I walk this way in my raspberry beret,
Cuz girls just wanna have fun."

And she said, "Hey Na Na Na...
Are you living in a northern town?
I used to be a small town boy
In a big country now I'm a man inside a gown."

I said "It must hurt so good, to turn a Jack into a Dianne."
She said, "Beat it , Billie Jean,
I'm saving a prayer for Duran Duran."
