"The Way You Make Me Feel"
- Babes? Well, the whole point of the story is that Mike is trying to get this girl to go out with him. He follows her around the whole film.
- Poofy Hair? Of course, this was the eighties! Mike's naturally curly hair is already kinda poofy, but the girl's perm is huge.
- Torn Clothing? hmmm no torn clothing, I don't think. This takes place in a run down nieghborhood and at least ONE of the guys probably had some pants torn.....
- Cheesy Keyboards? nope.
- At Least One Change of Clothing? no.... (hm maybe I should've really thought about this)
- Stage Effects? There's a short dance scene with cool lighting and also a hydrant explodes to spray a fountain when he kisses her finally in the end.
- Wild Instrumental solo? The dance scene isn't exactly a solo but Michael keeps up the beat with his infamous breath noises and yelling.
- Storyline? All the 'tough' guys who are constantly harrassing pretty women in the street are making fun of Michael because they say he's weak and he can't get any ladies. Discouraged, he gets uplifting advice to be himself by an old guy on the stairs. This gorgeous girl is walks by and Michael is made sure he's seen and heard by following her around playfully blasting out his feel-good "The Way You Make Me Feel". He always gets the girl!
- Cool Automobile? There's a parked car (run down though, not so cool) that Mike jumps through after the girl.
- Sunglasses? A few of the gang (or whatever they were) were wearing some, not the classic michael jackson style.

Nena's,
"Just A Dream"
- Babes? Yes, another Nena song besides 99 Luftballons. She had many, and quite a lot of them were huge hits in Germany. in 1982, the band went to number 5 in the German charts with "Nur Getraumt". In 1984, they were planning an international album, and thus decided to remake some songs in English, ("99 Red Balloons" comes to mind)...Well, Nur Getraumt, which means "Only a Dream" was remade in English as "Just A Dream. Protest if you want, but I consider Nena to, yes, be a babe, and quite a sexy one. She still looks radiant today. She is a successful solo artist in Germany now.
- Poofy Hair? Yes, the entire band rocked the big hair...or really, it was moderately big hair, not too outlandish. They were definately not some stupid metal hair-band with a lead singer that dry-heaved into microphones
- Torn Clothing? Nena's outfit on stage was usually something like so: 1. Tight pants 2. An armless, rather baggy shirt that she would bind at the waist with a belt...Her on-stage shirts almost always featured the Rolling Stone's trademark tongue. 3. Her always-present, thin gold chain with hoop earrings or her guitar-pick earrings. 4. A headband and a wristband There's bound to be some torn clothing in there somewhere, it's just not made obvious in the video
- Cheesy Keyboards? I don't think they're cheesy, but, yes, there is a keyboard chorus in nearly all Nena (as a band) songs. They even had a keyboardist, Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen, as part of the band rather than different keyboardists who would tour with them.
- At Least One Change of Clothing? Yes...I think there are three
- Stage Effects? Whenever the band is on stage there are lighting effects and there is dry ice.
- Wild Instrumental solo? No.
- Storyline? No, not particularly. The song itself has a storyline but the video doesn't.
- Cool Automobile? Their tour bus that they board at the end of the video. Tour busses are of course cool, because they are made to accommodate the normally high-maintenance rockstars
- Sunglasses? Yes, Nena wears them when running onto the stage.

"Cherry Pie"
- Babes? Well, the girl's pretty hot, and the blonde dude's pretty nice, too. Actually, at one point I mixed the two of them up!
- Poofy Hair? The budget for the video was wasted on hair spray!
- Torn Clothing? I think Billie, "the chick," had half a shirt on, and ripped jeans for guys was an eighties staple
- Cheesy Keyboards? Hell, Warrent WAS CHEESY!!! Does anyone have any crackers?
- At Least One Change of Clothing? I'm pretty sure after the chick got all wet from being hosed down, then she put some real clothes on! Although, it may have been more ripped clothes.
- Stage Effects? Does sucking on cherries count?
- Wild Instrumental solo? The fact that they actually managed to write a whole song is pretty amazing, no one wants to hear what they would have done if they were creative.
- Storyline? A girl is hot.
