#8

In September of 1984, today's song/video peaked at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but every where around the country English teachers cringed... and so did any adults trying to teach proper English to their children. That's because John Waite was all over the airwaves and all over MTV with his hit that features the word "ain't" approximately 17 times throughout the song.
With the video, we get an idea of how outdated it is whenever we see John in a telephone booth. Kids these days have no idea what a telephone booth or payphone even is, as both have become relics from the 80's and early 90's. John is looking pretty cool in this video, but the dangling earring always bothered me, but maybe that's what gives him the super power to crush a telephone receiver in one scene!
