I'm determined to bring back the 80's...one video at a time!  This video got me hooked on Chicago back in '84, I thought this was one of the last clever videos to be made.  The movie was shot like an episode of Chips with car chases, crashes and a lot of bad acting.  Peter Cetera did an excellent job of playing the moon faced leading man chasing down the dangerous hard-to-get girl (or in one shot, obviously a male stunt driver).  This video started my obsession with the aging balladeers, the song had a playful mood that translated well and David Foster's dramatic sense of over Production.  I also love the part where the cars chase through the dried up LA Aquaduct system (Grease and Terminator 2 did the same).  So flip up the collar to your Izod polo shirt and get totally gnarly, 'cause here's Chicago in 1984's Stay The Night!

Awesome video and excellent song! Long live the 80s. Too bad there ain't such songs or videos anymore.
