Looked like Cher. But you made me listen to that- you owe me. ---

Count me as a second vote for Cher. It reminded me of her “If I Could Turn Back Time” video look. . .big curly hair, scandalous revealing outfit with the leather jacket! It caused quite a stir at the time; seems rather tame now. ---

Clearly from the way the guy is flouncing around, the t-shirt is of Billy Squier and the video is aping [Rock Me Tonite](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR0j7sModCI) in some sort of ill-advised tribute or something. I mean, there’s no way that 2 people could make the same shitty video 25 years apart by accident is there? :eek: (Okay to be fair, I couldn’t watch past the first minute or so- the song is terrible- but it does look like the guy is trying his best to be Mr. Early '80s.) ---
