In today's contribution, we go back to the '80s. I promise to go back further tomorrow, but join me today in skinny ties and jackets from International Male. Today's artist got really popular play from MTV, as did everyone back then.
This first bit, however, was at the latter end of the video era, and due to the composition, didn't have a video created for it. The medium was starting to meld between harder rock and rap, and Dolby probably would have been featured either during the wee hours of the morning, or rarely. Therefore it was a good decision not to make a video of this, but I would have loved to have seen it.
The second song on the post today Hyperactive, did have a video, coming out in 1984, as a follow up to his highly popular "She Blinded Me With Science" song in 1982. While really fun, not necessarily as well received as the first song (and album), and as such, he wouldn't chart again in the states. However, he still has a great fan following, and is a real treat to see live. The venues are smaller, but at least the drinks are usually better.
