I thought everyone might enjoy passing along some of the best little diddies out there. For example... my two favorite awesomely bad music videos ever are
Total Eclipse of the Heart

Whoa, that's pretty awesome! Was that intentional, or just by chance? If it was just by chance, that's pretty epic! The timing is nearly perfect, especially with the dove at the beginning and the table and glasses in the middle. XD

Totally accidental. I happened to start listening to Lamenting Kiss when I was browsing this thread. While watching that awful music video (muted of course) I noticed that the tempo of the Virgin Black song matched fairly evenly with the tempo of the other. Intrigued, I started both at the same time.

One of the cheesiest videos I've seen is definitely Nazareth's music video for "Love Leads to Madness".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiNgH1JgY9A
I love the song, and I love the video. But it's poorly done. Except for when the guitarist does a slide solo with a pool ball.
But what do you expect? It was the '80's!
Another one is from the same album as "Love Leads to Madness" ("2XS"). This one is called "Dream On".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNnqjbojqjE
I find that the whole Sci-Fi theme takes away that sad, serious, and beautiful aspects of the song.
Definitely on my top 10 list of my favourite Nazareth songs.
Thirdly, "Who Made Who" by AC/DC.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQDz1hbNh6A
I love the song, and the video. But it's just like every other AC/DC Music video; only this time with Aliens!
And finally.. How can you forget "Mr. Roboto" by Styx?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBtZk13miAE
Terrible song, terrible music video, terrible concept... Terribly band!

ROFL, Oh my gosh, I actually LOVE the Take on Me video (and song! XD). SO 80's and cheesy, but the way it's drawn is just so COOL! XD And have you seen the literal version? It's HILARIOUS (mild language warning):

Here's a fun fact: Marilyn Manson hallucinated that cover of the song and music video while high on acid. Then he made it.
Incidentally, I'm tempted to post his music video for 'Long Hard Road Out Of Hell', but I think it might be a little too weird and wrong for CAA.

BAHAHA some of these are SOOOO awesome!
@Corrie- I hadn't seen the literal version before!
@Cognitive- bahaha... i LOVE that video!! I saw that about a year ago and I DIED laughing!
here's a new one for everybody! It's from the Hugh Grant/Drew Barrymore movie Music & Lyrics. (the movie was meh... but this is a gem)
Basically, Hugh Grant is making a parody of WHAM!

That's another one I wanted to post! But I'd only seen it once and a long time ago, so I couldn't find it.
On the flip side, I'm going to have "My loony bun is fine, Benny Lava" playing through my head all day tomorrow.
