MVM: One Day Late

It’s been ages since I made a Music Video Monday post, and it’s mostly been because I can’t remember to do it. I probably should have made my feature a Wednesday thing, but Music Video Wednesday just lacks the alliteration that MVM has.

Anyway, while listening to 80s radio on the computer last night, a song played that I hadn’t heard in years. It’s the theme from Electric Dreams, a movie from 1984 that (as a kid) I probably saw half a dozen times. It’s a preposterous story about a love triangle involving a nerd, a computer, and Princess Irulan Virginia Madsen. Electric Dreams was last released in North America on laserdisc - its only DVD release was in the UK - so clearly it’s not even at a cult classic level of reverence among movie watchers. Normally I won’t condone downloading movies, but it’s really the only way to watch it, unless you stumble across a VHS copy, and even then I doubt the condition of the tape would render it watchable. With a 5/10 rating on IMDB, perhaps it’s unwatchable for other reasons too.

So here is the music video for Together in Electric Dreams, with lyrics by Phil Oakley and music by 80s synth superstar Georgio Moroder.
