Music Video of the Day: I Want You by Animotion (1986, directed by Nick Morris)


As a group, Animotion is destined to be most remembered for Obsession but they did record other songs.  I Want You appeared on Animotion’s second studio album and was one of the first single releases from it.  Despite a good beat and a video that was very MTV-friendly, it only reached the 84th position on the U.S. charts.  It was, however, considerably more popular in Germany, reaching the 24th position.

Nick Morris, the prolific director of this video, also did videos for Big Country, Cliff Richard, Europe, Cheap Trick, and Mister Mister.  He also directed a production of The Toxic Avenger: The Musical, which was released in 2018.

Music Video of the Day: I Want You By KISS (1976, directed by ????)


This song is from KISS’s fifth studio album, Rock and Roll Over.  This music video is from the age of simple music videos, when the focus was more on the band playing than on trying to tell a story with song.  When its comes to KISS, their simple videos, like this one, are the best.  Also, their videos with the famous KISS makeup are better than the videos they shot during the period of time when they tried to abandon their trademark look.

Enjoy!
