In an era known for bad choices in everything from fashion to politics to narcotics, this video pretty much set a new low.

The lead singer’s look is, to be kind, the very definition of an acquired taste.

When he plays his organ/synthesizer at all, he does so with two fingers and all the passion of a bored receptionist.

The drummer seems over-matched by his kit, the guitarist’s sunglasses are the size of dinner plates, and what’s with the wavy red sound lines during the solos?

The dudes look like dames and the dames look like dudes and the whole thing was so confusing to the barely pubescent ELV that he ran so…far…away-ay-ay and ended up looking like this guy until 1992.

And when he found himself liking this video, he decided to put down the pipe for good.

Ah…the 80’s.
