God bless whatever lifeforms conceived the idea of VH1 Classic. The cable channel has become the only true heir to the greatness that was once MTV. (Man cannot live on "Room Raiders" alone. In fact, whatever "man" is behind that idea needs to spend the rest of his life milking rabid yaks.)

This Labor Day weekend, VH1 Classic is showing 80 hours of '80s videos. The videos are seemingly running in alphabetical order. (That means I can sleep well, knowing the a-hafia has seen their beloved "Take On Me" and will be sending no mail-bombs my direction anytime soon.)

I don't get VH1 Classic here at the cutting-edge digital think-thank that is the sprawling Stuck in the 80s campus in St. Petersburg, Fla. (Motto: "Get back to work!") So while I sell frozen bananas on a stick to tourists with pasty white legs, I'll have to watch the videos online instead.  (Just click here to access the playlist on VH1 Classic's website.)

For my money, I can't get enough of the "Under Pressure" video by Queen with David Bowie. I've watched it three times and counting this morning. Which really means, if my boss is reading this, that I'm only kidding. "Hello ma'am, would you like nuts on your banana?"
