Hugh Grant does 80's pop...

[sbisson]

A spoof 80s pop video from his latest Drew Barrymore romcom.

For those of us who lived through Top of the Pops in the 80s...

About equal parts Human League and Wham, I thought. Although the sequences of Grant with his jacket sleeves rolled up were very clearly modelled on the post-Wham George Michael, which is of course All Wrong for the ostensible year of 1984 in which this video was shot.

(Actually, I can't remember whether Wham existed as far back as 1984, either. So that might be another wrongness.)

Wikipedia knows all: Their first single was released in June of '82; the albums were released in '82, '84 and '86.

Don Johnson was doing the whole sleeves rolled up thing in Miami Vice

First series in 1984 of course.
