I had to do it. “Mad About You” by Belinda Carlisle is one of the better 80’s pop classics you are probably getting too little of. I love the song and the video even if it doesn’t flow particularly well visually, but it didn’t matter in 1986, and it doesn’t matter now.

There is a vintage glamor feel to this video that I must say I adore. It’s interspersed with film clips of Carlisle in a style that is decidedly Marilyn Monroe-ish. This recalls a forgotten Hollywood chic of times passed throughout the video, most of which involves Carlisle prancing around a sunny LA backdrop.

Cheesy? Yes. Annoying? Perhaps. Brilliantly Nostalgic? Completely. You won’t necessarily want to, you won’t necessarily admit it, but you’ll probably love this video just as much as I do.
