Could this be the cheesiest music video of all time?

Posted by Ross Dec. 6, 2007 @ 12:02 AM EST

I'm an 80s music nut, with a special fondness for cheesy & upbeat New Wave/synth stuff - it clearly carved out a part of my brain during my formative years. I'm always mining the 80s for new music that I haven't heard yet - there's just so much of it.

So, recently I discovered the song "S.O.S. Bandido" by Carrara. Outside of its inclusion on some relatively obscure Italo-disco compilations, I can't find much about either the song or the artist.

However, I did find a live video for the song on Youtube, and holy crap, does it set new standards for international fruity-ness. It's one guy, on a stage in front of a zillion people, prancing around his keyboards, and... I guess you have to see it to understand. Best parts: the fist-pump synched with the sound effect at 1:01, the creepy Italian guy gyrating at 1:32, and the "air drums" at 1:57.

This video did not age well. Still - a good song.
