"Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor 1982

I think for starters we'll go with something simple that everyone knows.
I'm not going in any chronological order here but merely follow the videos I'm weirdly drawn to.
It's 1982 and you think you have some inspiring music in you, luckily so does Sylvester Stallone. He asks you to write a song with grit and motivation, and by all accounts you succeed.

The song is great, it's catchy and powerful and incredibly inspirational. It makes people want to stand up and face the world, their heads high and proud. The video however is not very inspiring and lands us in the Eye Of The Creepy Alley

We see front man Frankie Sullivan looking around to make sure there's no cops and then he breaks into a power walk through neon light streets. His bands mates have been hanging out by street corners also looking out for cops. Firmly they join the night time power walk, including somebody's mom. Oh no. Wait, that's actually lead keyboardist and co-band founder/song writer Jim Peterik.

As the band grows in numbers during the power walk I'm starting to wonder who is this bad ass, posy of rogues. Is Sullivan going to beat up his old high school bully or take down some drug pushers? Just as the songs gets into full swing I think "We're going to see a fight, He's going to fight. Fight, fight, fight!" But then they take a corner and end up in a bath warehouse. Seriously.

They manage to throw in a sneaky and very uninspiring run up some warehouse stairs as a nod to Rocky himself. There has to be an underground fight up there right? Nope. Instead they're in a dark creepy warehouse, so Sullivan's mother, sorry Jim Peterik can teach that young man to play guitar.

These guys are serious song writers and great musicians, but they move so stiff and awkwardly, trying desperately to look cool. They are clearly a bunch of very nice talented young men who love keyboards and rockin' out.
I know I'm being mean but the long walk to the extremely out of the way back alley, only emphasises the creepiness. I know it's 1982 but just look at Peterik with his perm and blue cardigan. He looks like every picture of every woman in 1982, who wasn't a model. Every girl who was an office worker, typist or secretary looked just like this guy in 1982. He's just not cool.

The rest of it is shots of these guys doing what they do best. Rockin' Out! Sure there's a cool waving giant plastic bag behind them at some point and some dodgy eye close ups on the word "eye" but that's as exciting as it gets. No fight. Just dudes being dudes in a creepy warehouse.
Harsh I know, but I tell it like I see it. Cracking tune though.
