As usual, the Dad was more in to it than the rest of the family.

I think both videos had the same budget.

I guess record companies in the 80s had two approaches to videos: “we’ve ordered the fog machine, white horses and backup dancers,” and “here’s a handicam. Take your instruments and go out back.”

I dunno, that also kinda replicates the original video.

The Heller remake: Sheer '80s awesomeness, and BRAVO!

The original: Wait, this was an actual video?

Excellent staging and execution, novel idea.

whispers: don’t stop… believin’ :notes:

Hell for me-

A locked room, full of MAGA high school dropouts that don’t own clothes with sleeves, with no booze, cigars, or any vices- and Journey’s Greatest Hits on repeat- forever.

After Trump, the next hated thing for me (halfway down that Mt. Everest of hate) is Journey.

Mom was really enjoying the drums as well!

It was great, but I found it a little weird that they did the close up of the behind with the little girl.

True, but the dad’s facial expressions; Shatner levels of chomping.
