OFF TOPIC

Can we collectively find mine?
I keep wanting to say it was by Art Of Noise but probably not.
I just remember a video with a female midget (possibly a wrestler?) and I think a strong man in a Mad Max destructive setting With someone slamming a sledgehammer into a car ( No, it isn't Gabriel's Sledgehammer).
It is an 80s video,that I am pretty sure of.

Two images come to mind from your description.

Reagan and Gorbie lookalikes wrestling?

And then a video by Supertramp, maybe?

Thanks

LOL @ #1

on the serious note, When you said Supertramp I got the Breakfast In America Album cover in my mind,but not Supertramp (though they were/are an awesome band), no the was music more in the vein of the Flying Lizards maybe or more cacaphonic like Devo,but not either of them.

Thanks

This Art of Noise video doesn't have any midgets, but it has a little girl. There's no smashing a car, but there's smashing of a grand piano and other musical instruments. It's a destructive setting.

I was thinking of Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes, but there's no midget in that video.

And that IS what I was looking for....
What is weird is I probably spent 30 minutes sampling different Art Of Noise videos and didn't find this one. ( I always thought she was a midget,my bad).
Thanks Mojojuju!

In my mind it seems to me it was out about the same time as Bow Wow Wow and Wall Of Voodoo.

I think that did have a midget and strongman too!

  I love Cruel to be Kind too..
  Actually, Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, Elvis Costello,Rockpile.Graham Parker, (actually Squeezin Out Sparks,an Anti-abortion song brings a tear to my eyes still whenever I hear it). All the music from that time and space . What memories.
  
  Thanks
