Ten 80s videos I like - #8 Tonight I'm Yours

Tonight I'm Yours was a surreal video that blew this 8 year old boy away.  I remember it always seeming like it was going too fast and that it was over before I'd even settled into watching it.  Could there possibly be a more happening place than that L.A. hotel?  And did grown women really act way?  Sadly I found the answer in my life to the latter was 'no'.  I suppose there are places in Las Vegas or L.A. where rock stars, rappers, or pro athletes could create a similar scene, but to me, this video will always be the high water mark for unabashed hedonism.  If I had a chance to meet Rod or the director I would ask them to tell me how it was created and pulled together, how much was planned versus spontaneous, and whether any of the ladies were paid to appear in the video.  Kudos to Rod.
