Which of these faux-'80s music videos is better? (I have poll over there on the right hand side, for those too shy to comment.)
"Let's Go to the Mall" from How I Met Your Mother
"Pop! Goes My Heart" from Music and Lyrics
Slouching Towards Charterstone

I'm not even gonna watch the other one, Robin Sparkles by a landslide!! Mainly because I love HIMYM, and Robin Sparkles! :)
I respect your vote, but you should at least watch the other one. It's like if Robin Sparkles were Hugh Grant!
Whatever, I'm gonna be the minority, but I saw "Music and Lyrics" and didn't like it all that much...not a big Hugh Grant fan. And for me, you can't beat Canadian rhyming! Although that has nothing to do with the 80s. Sorry!
Hey, I'm glad Let's Go to the Mall isn't getting shut out. I thought Music and Lyrics was mediocre, with that music video being by far the high point.
For me, it is just impossible to vote for "Let's Go to the Mall." Even in a "worst of" category. Call it a minor psychosis.
But what I've seen of Music and Lyrics was entertaining--and the music video was simply brilliance.
What's wrong with "Let's Go to the Mall"?
I'd say the second. As much as I really don't want to like Hugh Grant, I do (although I've never seen Music and Lyrics so I can't say much about that specific movie). I think it is because I first saw him in Sense and Sensibility. The first movie I see someone in really cements my idea of them. Like I think I must be the only person on the planet who doesn't think Christopher Walken is even a little bit scary. But that is because I know him as Jacob from Sarah, Plain and Tall. And how can you not love Jacob?
I'm way behind on this, but my vote is totally for the second video. And not just because of Hugh Grant with eighties hair, either. The mall video is funny, but I'm pretty sure "pop goes my heart", if it had happened 20 years earlier, could've been an actual hit in the eighties.
