No, you're thinking of the video for "Eyes Without A Face", where his face starts out small and gradually becomes larger until it fills the screen. I believe the video for "White Wedding" has a skeleton in a bridal gown. ;D :P

"Need You Tonight/Mediate" video featured a blend of black & white & color (with Michael Hutchense wearing a leather jacket), for "Need You Tonight", and the band holding cue cards, for "Mediate".
Subject: Re: Rate these Music Videos from the '80's
1. Duran Duran "Save A Prayer" 5 because it's such a beautiful video. Of course, it has nothing to do with the subject of the song.
2. Ultravox "Vienna" I'd have to give it a 1 or a 2 for the simple reason that I know I saw it and can't remember it. It's also not one of my favorite songs by them.
3. The Cure "Lullaby" Same as above.
4. The Go Go's "Vacation" 4, fun vidoe, bad acting ;)
5. Genesis "Land Of Confusion" 5 this video fascinated me when it came out. On the downside though, the theme dates it horribly. Most kids today would only recognize one or two of the people being characturized in it.
6. David Bowie "China Girl" I never really liked this video (or song) but I'd have to give it a 5 for style.
7. Whitesnake "Here I Go Again" 3 but only becuase the quality of the filming was very good. Not their best.
8. Madonna "Material Girl" 5 for originality, style and quality. But again, I don't really care for the video or the song.
9. Culture Club "Karma Chameleon" 3 for the humor of watching British artist's try to recreate American culture :D
10. Michael Jackson "Thriller" 5, special effects, choreography, the direction, the.....
11. New Order "True Faith" Can't remember this one at all!
12. Def Leppard "Photograph" It's hard to rate this one. I can barely remember it at all but I do remember liking it when it came out...3?
13. Kim Wilde "Cambodia" Don't know this one at all.
14. Men Without Hats "The Safety Dance" 5 just because it's a fun, weird video.
15. Twisted Sister "We're Not Gonna Take It"4 for origniality and concept. But boy did it get overplayed!
16. Men At Work "Who Can It Be Now" 5, I love their sense of humor and the lead singer actually looked paranoid.
17. Toni Basil "Mickey" Boy has cheerleading changed!
18. Human League "Keep Feling (Fascination)" 2
19. The Fixx "One Thing Leads To Another" 2, loved the song, lame video.
20. The Power Station "Some Like It Hot" 5 for the fascinating visuals.
22. A-Ha "Take On Me" The same as the above.
23. Bon Jovi "Bad Medicine" I can't stand any song or video by this band!
24. Banarama "Venus" 5, loved the visuals.
25. Billy Idol "White Wedding" 5, again for fascinating visuals.
26. Neil Young "This Note's For You" Don't remember this one.
27. Huey Lewis & The News "If This Is It" 5, they always look like they're having so much fun in their video's.
28. The Stray Cats "Rock This Town"3, their video's were pretty much just okay.
29. Berlin "No More Words" I love the song, but I can't remember the video!!
30. The Clash "Rock The Casbah" 3, it's so hard to make a political statement video on a shoestring budgett.
31. Talking Heads "Burning Down The House" 3, interesting visuals, rather boring video overall though.
32. Metallica "One" 3, it was interesting the first time or two, but it gets old fast.
33. Janet Jackson "What Have You Done For Me Lately" 4, though it looks rather dated now, it's still a fun video.
34. Cyndi Lauper "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" 5, this was a fun video.
35. "Weird Al" Yankovic "Dare To Be Stupid" Never saw it :(
36. Madness "Our House" 5, another band that always seemed to have fun in thier videos. But a lot of it made more sense after I started watching more British TV shows on PBS. ;D
37. The Cars "Magic" 1, I only remember being bored with this video from the first time I saw it.
38. INXS "Need You Tonight/Mediate" 1, never cared for the video or song.
39. The B-52's "Love Shack" 5, I loved all the different people dancing, and they looked like they were having fun.
40. Devo "Whip It" 4, not their best but is cetainly catches your attention!
