Today’s music video of the day is the atmospheric video for Cheri, Cheri Lady by Modern Talking. This song was the only single to come off of Modern Talking’s second album and it was also their third straight single to reach number one in Germany.
This video was directed by Volker Hannwacker, who has also been credited with directing videos from Haddaway, Culture Beat, and Paradise Lost.
Enjoy!
Before I came across this video on YouTube, I had never heard this song before. I don’t know much about Modern Talking, either. I’ve noticed that, on YouTube, their videos appear to be popular with Russian viewers. Almost all of the comments are written in Cyrillic.
Even though I don’t know much about the band or the song, I still decided to go with this video because it really does epitomize an era. From the pixelated beginning to the keytar and the pink bowtie, this is a video that could only come from the 80s. Even though this song is not on the GTA: Vice City soundtrack, it feels like it should be.
Enjoy!
