Normally any music video that features LaVar Burton of "Reading Rainbow" and "Star Trek" fame would be enough, but oh no, no, no, no, no. Today's group is Cameo, and apparently lead singer Larry Blackmon was extremely high/drunk when he picked out his wardrobe. Seriously dude, what were you thinking? Trying to over compensate for the lack of something? Not sure, but this is truly one of the worst costumes in 80's video history. LaVar Burton is a detective in the video, and I'm sure he's trying to arrest the band for the hideous fashion violations. Here is the trio known as Cameo with their 1986 hit "Word Up!"
