Ten 80s Videos I like - #9 Let's Work
This is a song and video you've probably forgotten. If you went on vacation or stopped watching MTV briefly in 1987 you might have never seen it. As I recall this video was only on heavy rotation briefly. It's also probably the last time Mick Jagger had creative freedom as a solo artist and MTV would play whatever he produced. In light of all this you'd think the song was a failure, but I'd like to argue otherwise. First of all it's Mick Jagger in all his glory, high energy and shimmying around. Second, the song has a good message. Third, I don't think there's ever been another video like this. It seems they're running around Manhattan on FDR Drive. There's so much to see here if you try not to watch Mick the whole time. Take a look!
