How was this one overlooked? Oh memories of the wedgies I was given in gym class while this was playing on an endless loop in the background! Oh the humanity!
But anyway, aren't you glad his daughter is continuing his legacy?

This is an obvious phyc case if ever I've seen one. We can only speculate what's going on in this guy's life, what he feels he needs to prove to require such an over-the-top display of concentrated testosterone.
I'm guessing it's at least one of three things:
He was tortured as a child,
He watches far too much porn and/or
Certain features of his masculinity isn't quite how he wishes.
Whatever the case may be, he badly needs a hug.
What games are they playing there on Sesame Street these days?
This is a bit with Katy Perry visiting Sesame Street that was suppose to air until the censors pulled at the last minute because they felt her dress was showing too much cleavage for a children's show.
This is one of those examples where the video made for the song adds another dimension to offend the senses.
I don't remember much from 1984, I was quite young, but apparently what instituted as "bad" was dressing up like a little Billy Idol, smoke 'Sig' brand cigarettes, drink 'Beer' brand beer, lunge out to grab mini hoop skirts, spend time in a house with a rocky roof and failing foundation and hang out with other children who dress up as Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, and - as far as I can tell - Belly Joel.
To be a good teenager, you'll have to wear a cheesy sweater, khakis, lime green socks, wear makeup and a hair style not unlike Max Headroom. I'm glad I was still playing with Lincoln Logs in 1984.
Initially I was going to post the Abba version of this song until I found this POS at the last minute. I knew there was the original Abba version and that stupid movie a few years back but taking a horrible song from a horrible band, mix it into a late-90's pop beat and add pre-teens on vocals, this truly is a suicide track.
