David Lee Roth - Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody
How can you not love Diamond Dave? As if his California Girls video was not enough to win over impressionable teen boys, his goofy self-deprecating video and catchy tune (a remake of a classic Louis Prima medley) was irresistable. Just don’t expect to see Yankee Rose make the list - any video with ass-less chaps is strictly forbidden. I bet Dave wishes every year could be 1985.
Directed by Pete Angelus and David Lee Roth in 1985 the video pokes fun at all the trends and video styles of the time. Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Roth’s Eat ‘em and Smile Tour was one of the most successful concert tours of 1986.
