I love the Dare to Be Stupid video. It is a work of art. (The video you posted only has an album cover) Devo said that Weird Al out-Devoed them with Dare to Be Stupid. It seems to be a parody of all those synth-pop 80s videos rolled into one.
That Gandhi II spot is a scream!! I'll have to show my son. He's a big Weird Al Fan.
