What I like about the original and many other vids of the time is that band members could look like complete dweebs and act tough in the video and nobody cared and it wasn't considered "ironic" or a joke or anything like that. I mean sure the singer was probably a draw for the ladies but look at the rest of that band - a bunch of Fortran programmers on their lunch break. I'm not sure they would even allow that imagery now, it would upset the artistic sensitivities of Millennials who have been raised on a diet of digitally enhanced mannequins who have been carefully selected for their sterility and blandness. Back in the day, anyone could be in hit band, didn't matter how thick their glasses were. Just stick them in a leather jacket and away we go.
