Yes Virgina, it’s another thread like this. 😛 So could someone help me out with remembering a video from the late 80s / early 90s about a girl who is suicidal? I can’t think of any of the lyrics, but the girl was blonde (with those big ol’ mall bangs) and had on acid wash jeans and a white shirt. In one scene, she lies on the couch with pills and the telephone and in another the lead singer (I think) is walking on the beach. All of this is interspersed with shots of the group and is done somewhat in black and white.
It was a hit song and quite catchy, but not by any big name hair metal (if at all) bands. If only my memory hasn’t failed me…
Anyone?

It wasn’t _Drive_ by The Cars, was it?

Unfortunately, no. The group wasn’t anywhere near as big as that. Thanks though.

I don’t even remember ever seeing this video, but somehow I guessed it. I think I just blew my own mind.
