Behold: the absolute worst European music video

[JussiK]

As a Finn I'm proud to be able to guide you to what has been chosen as the absolute worst music video ever made.

The male vocalist Danny was married, had an affair with the female vocalist Armi around the time this was shot in 1978. He promised to marry her, did not, and drove the woman to alcoholism. She's dead now, apparently from the booze. Danny has kept his tight trousers and rhinestones image but not his figure, currently looking like a mating between Liberace and a white whale.

The taller dark haired male backup dancer is the son of Aira Samulin, a 80-something ex-discotheque Hostess and hustle teacher, now a right wing politican. She's still making statements and dressing like a 16 year old punkette.

Jussi, I laughed so hard while watching this. I do find the song catchy though

The dancers are so out of step. isn't there a word for rhythm in the your language?

[JussiK]

Those "dancers" were hired to be the creme de la sour creme of a place called Studio Poli, an extremely poor man's version of Studio 54, where they bounced out of rhythm every Friday and Saturday, performing "the Hustle" and "Saturday Night Fever Line Dance" on the stage for the supposed amazement of suburbia. They were promoted in the trashier magazines as the hottest young things ever. My friends and I sometimes went to take the piss, took on the floor after a few drinks and mimicked the routines mercilessly.
