There are so many angles to go on this it can make your brain hurt. The videos of the 80's were cheesy and lacked depth much of the time but it was the begining of the video era so some slack must be given. If your going strictly on vids, then modern wins hands down due to the advancement of technology. However, technology also has made it so most artists, and I use that term loosely, don't even MAKE their own music anymore. You don't have any inter band loyalty any more. Look at folks like Gwen Stefani. Had a great band that helped launch her to fame and she brushed them aside. Now all her music is the same old regurgitated sampled tracks of crap like most other artists today. Bands like nickleback and the white stripes at least play their own instruments and I respect that. I guess it is so much like the old arguements of black sabbath. Many bands did great covers of their songs. Rob Zombie did children of the grave. System of a down did snowblind, Primus did NIB, Megadeath did paranoid and anthrax did sabbath bloody sabbath. In each instance there are people who are emphatic that the remakes are better than the original. Not hard to do when you didn't have to write it. Yet each of those bands had newer technology to use on those songs that wasn't available to sabbath, just as there is today. Listening to the reunions they recently did, I'd stack them against any moder band there is and they would hold their own. So I guess you have to consider, how much music today is real talent and how much is technological magic? Q~

A-ha made the video, if the one you're talking about has a racing theme and one of the racers is chasing the couple with a wrench. Inspiration for this animation came from the movie "Altered States" starring William Hurt. Towards the end of the movie, Hurt keeps slamming back and forth against the walls in order to force himself back to "reality".

Take on Me by A-Ha....
From our good friends at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_On_Me
The saga of the video begins as a blonde young woman (played by actress Bunty Bailey[1]) is in a coffee shop (London's Kim's Café), reading a comic book about competitive motorcycle racing.
Bunty Bailey and Morten Harkett in the "Take on Me" music video.After winning the race, Morten Harket (who plays the winner of the race) winks at the girl; she raises her eyebrows. He then reaches his black and white cartoon hand through the comic book pulling the girl into his animated world with his band in tow. Through a creative effect they both view each other through a comic frame which shows them (and the band members) alternately in live-action and animation.
The waitress, coming back for the bill, angrily crumples up the comic book in retaliation for what appears as a stiffing and throws it into the trash. As this happens, two of Harket's competitors in the race come back for revenge. One, wielding an adjustable spanner, smashes the comic frame. Harket punches one of the henchmen, and retreats with the girl down a maze created by the crumpling. Harket tears a hole for the girl to escape through, as he faces the two with his own monkey wrench. The entire coffeeshop peers over the counter at the heavily newspaper-print stained girl lying next to the waste-paper basket. The startled girl grabs the crumpled comic book and runs out of the coffeeshop to her room, where she tries to smooth out the creases.
One of the panels shows Harket lying unconscious, and she begins to cry. Harket then comes back to life - appearing in the girl's room - smashing himself against the wall as he flashes back and forth between animated and live-action. Eventually, he becomes the latter, and the girl and Harket embrace.
