Survivor, "Eye of the Tiger". Also known as the Rocky III song. The band in the video attempts to look like bad asses. They don't succeed.
Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". In this video, Joan Jett looks more bad ass than Survivor.
Kid Creole and the Coconuts, "Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy".
