Bad Videos: Dog Police

[clockworkcanary]

I vaguely remember seeing this video once as a youngster back when Empty-V actually played videos.  And yes, it's still as stupid as I remember.  I wonder how much they had to pay the cheering people at this concert?

Hoooweee!!  This is one of those things that I vaguely remembered myself.  It actually reached the point where I believed I might of just dreamt the damned thing and fixed it in place as a memory.  But there it is! 

And, by God, it's still as stupid as I remember.

Clearly they owe a wee bit of credit to McGruff.

Heheheh I've had other people tell me they thought they dreamed it too!  And those three guys - man they look like some goofy ass dudes even by 80s standards! No wonder they wore the dog masks!  I should get two of my buddies to get outfits and dog masks like those and dress up as the dog police for next Halloween!

Arf!

It's hard to believe there was a time when I watched MTV about 9 hours a day!  That was back in the early '80s - it sure isn't the channel now that it used to be.

Great trip back through time!  If I recall correctly, Dog Police was the winner of MTV's first DIY music video contest.  Hey, you have to hand it to them - at least there's some SPFX make-up involved there!

Not sure if I have the year right, but in 1983, did everyone in music videos wear trenchcoats, fedoras, and sunglasses?

It sounds like Devo if they went on a bad coke binge.

DarkSider,
I like your avatar!  Billy Mays hails from here in Tampa Bay, FL.  Saw him at a funeral not long ago, of all places.  Tampa Bay is the home of direct response TV advertising and the Home Shopping Network (cult movie fans take note: Rhonda Shear can sometimes be seen on HSN!).

Always thought this was pretty weird...
