Robert Palmer, What Were You Thinking?

I just happened to be watching VH1 Classic this morning when the lovely video for "Looking For Clues" came on. I don't remember this song or this video. But I have to wonder, if I HAD seen this video when it came out, would I have thought it was cool? Or would I have recognized it for being the most idiotic, bizarre, nonsensical video ever? Robert Palmer sure de-nerdified by the time he did "Simply Irresistible."

Here's a hint of what joys lie in this video:

white wrestling shoes with pegged jeans
singing suspended over pop-up books
Fake guitars
granny glasses
singing into a magnifying glass
rotary phones
dancing on a blue screen xylophone

Absolutely have to see more? Or maybe vaguely want to see more? Or at least have nothing better to do? Click here.
