| Don't ask me how I ran across this, but I'd like to throw this video up as a nomination for Worst Music Video Ever. Seriously. What were they thinking? Soft focus? Blue and purple lens filters? Slow Motion? Terrible dubbing. And what's with the homoerotic, back-to-back/face-to-face guitar playing? It would make sense except .... they're not sharing a microphone! Maybe someone forgot to give them that particular prop. And what about the story? From what I can tell, "Sister Christian" is unhappy at her catholic school until she comes across Night Ranger, secretly playing a hard-rock ballad in the auditorium, which prompts her and her friends to do their makeup and ride away with them in a vintage convertible. But it's also graduation day. What?!? And what the hell is the band doing during the scene in the cafeteria? So bad. I'm not even going to talk about the song itself. Look, I'm not picky. Hard Rock Ballads had their place, and I won't say no to Meatloaf. But I can't imagine anyone taking this seriously, even in the eighties. I mean the guy is wearing a banlon shirt. With the top button undone. This could be a Spinal Tap video. And the drummer/lead singer looks like Scott Bakula with a jewfro. That's not a criticism per se, but I just thought I'd mention it. It makes it that much harder to take them seriously. |
