10 Best Music Videos Of The 1980s

10. Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al

One of the more pleasingly playful clips of the era, the former half of Simon & Garfunkel saw his record Graceland driven in part by the strength of this absurdly catchy, worldbeat-tinged number, ostensibly about an apparent midlife crisis.

Its video is the true gem though, featuring Simon and Saturday Night Live alum Chevy Chase perched in a room surrounded by instruments as the latter lip-synchs the song, cutting across his more diminutive partner who is relegated to playing assorted musical backing throughout (Chase towered over Simon by more than a foot in height, leaving their finale dance as a comedy of differing proportions).
