What songs do you wish had proper official music videos?

I was molested by Martha Quinn's dad.

"Keep it Together" was the last song on Like A Prayer to be released, and I was always curious what a video of that song would've been.

Other Madonna songs that would've been neat to see done proper would be "Holiday," "Angel," and "Skin."

Edge Of Seventeen. It did have a low budget, awkward little video that is not regarded as a capital-O Official Video. It could have been EPIC Stevie Nicks visuals. The whole thing practically begs for a big 80s production. But that song came out a year or two before Big Budget was a thing in the music video world.

Donna Summer, MacArthur Park.

p.s. here's the original very-low-budget Edge Of Seventeen video. Probably cost like $5K.

Barbra Streisand, Prisoner

R5, that's still awesome to see, but yes....that song should be backed with a $$$$$ video to match its intensity and bad-assery.

The YouTube vid makes it look like Stevie is missing a tooth! It might just be the VHS quality...

Don Henley, "Sunset Grill". The story of the lyrics combined with that feeling of tension.

R8 When I heard that song as a kid, I imagined they were eating at a restaurant.

With every year that goes by Edge Of Seventeen gets better.

"It's Not Goodbye" by Laura Pausini

Aretha Franklin - Who's Zoomin' Who. Could've been a cool dance club scene with neon lights, big hair and shoulder pads.

Cyndi Lauper - All Through The Night. Not sure why a video was never made.

R8 and R9 - That's such a great one! Although I enjoy the images/visual vibe I created in my head back when I first heard it.

I was too young to understand what "working girls" were, but when I got older, it added a brand new layer to the song. lol

Michael Jackson - Human Nature

Prince - Delirious

Abba - The Visitors

Madonna - Dress You Up

Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses

Olivia Newton John's Physical.

R20,

Agree MacArthur Park would be fun. Even now, whoever has the rights should do some weird, trippy, but hopefully artistic tribute video.

R20 are you on shrooms?

When you were mine - Prince (later covered by Lauper)

R24, good choice

Why didn't a lot of Donna Summer's singles get videos?

R26, MTV wasn't around when Bad Girls came out. She Works Hard for the Money had a big opening on MTV, but that was after her career peak.

R27, true

Thish underrated cover of "Twisht in My Shobriety".

Ma-Na-Ma-Na.

Kate Bush - Symphony In Blue

David Bowie's Putting Out the Fire has several fan-made videos, but it deserved the full treatment.

Michael Jackson - Off The Wall

“Michael, Row The Boat Ashore.”

OK, this will have to do for now.

"Boom Boom Boom" -- Paul Lekakis

R24 - And the video I would have wanted to see would have indeed been the Cyndi version!

A lot of Beatles songs. Like the entire Revolver and Rubber Soul albums.

Genesis - Illegal Alien

The R36 The Prince version probably would've been him performing in a thong or something on stage. I like both versions, but Prince's ultimately won me over. I think it's the simplicity.

Causing a Commotion by Madonna. The opening credits to Who's That Girl are by far the best part of the movie. Warner was foolish not to release them in the form of a music video (plus, the animated version of Madonna had a better figure than her!). It could have easily gone to number one. Warner dropped the ball on her at times.

R40, which other times do you think they dropped the ball on her?

Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Titanic Days by Kirsty MacColl

R41, right off the top of my head, they ALMOST dropped the ball on her with Live to Tell. They were convinced that Live to Tell would bomb as the first single off True Blue. They didn't think people would like a dark ballad coming from a big pop star. Madonna was convinced otherwise and insisted that it be released as a single. They also didn't release Into the Groove as a physical single in America (Angel was released instead and Into the Groove was the B-side).

R44, I wish Angel had a video

"Precious Things" - Tori Amos

"I Know" - Fiona Apple

"Dime Store Cowgirl" - Kacey Musgraves

R45, I have never been crazy about that song or most of the other songs on LAV but I know many others feel differently.

R46, I wish Tori made music videos for so many of her songs.

"Love Affair" from Kylie Minogue's album Fever really should have been released as a single and given a video.

Kate Bush - Night Of The Swallow

R42 Just so you know, we've ignored you.

Madonna - One More Chance

Al Stewart, The Year of the Cat is such a rich, colorful song. Barbra Streisand, Make it Like a Memory. Madonna, Love Tried to Comfort Me.

Sorry about the formatting.

Al Stewart, The Year of the Cat is such a rich, colorful song.

Barbra Streisand, Make it Like a Memory.

Madonna, Love Tried to Comfort Me

How am I Supposed to Live Without You by Laura Branigan

R54, good one

There is a video for “Dress You Up” - it was live footage from the Virgin tour but was still a video.

The early disco releases by Diana Ross

Love Hangover

The Boss

Upside Down

I'm Coming Out

R57, I agree with you. But,we still have Diana in all her crowd-pleasing glory.

R58. She was 100% on point and in tune on that Midnight special episode! She made it seem so effortless! That show was a turning point in her career!

Yazoo - Only You

Ashford & Simpson - Found A Cure (1979)

At Badlands in Cincinnati, there was a clone of Nick Ashford who I lusted after, but I didn't have the courage of my convictions.

R61, love that one

Muskrat Love

Janet Jackson, Throb.

My "Hallelujah Chorus."

Vicki Sue Robinson - Turn the Beat Around

R66, it would have been her bday today. Not sure if you knew or not

R67, No I didn't, but thank you.

R61 The performance clip is better than any music video that could've be done.

From the early 80s,

"Precious" by the Pretenders

"This Town" by the Go-Go's

"Straight to Hell" by the Clash

Wild World - Cat Stevens

R56 Listened to that live video so many times, before I was finally disappointed to realize that the song was not "Gonna Mess You Up With My Love".

La Rissa - I do both Jay and Jane

Latoya Jackson - Private Joy
