    Herbie Hancock: Rockit is still one of the most weirdly wonderful music videos ever!

    I remember first hearing part of this instrumental on the HBO comedy series "Not Necessarily the News" as the program segued between scenes and sketches. When I eventually watched the video, it was one of the weirdest I remember ever seeing. The directors were Kevin Godley and Lol Crème-former members of the music group 10cc. The video had a robot bird, walking mannequin legs in a panty, shaking legs in black pants and shoes, and the artist Herbie Hancock himself on the TV playing the keyboards. Oh, and the shaking images is in tune to the music. So yeah, that's some weird stuff but wonderful as well! So that's a recommendation of this video of Herbie Hancock: Rockit. Oh, one more memory of this recording-When there was a cheerleader tryout in the spring of '84 at my high school, the girls were using this recording to dance to it. Among them was someone I had a massive crush on who eventually made the team for that year and the following one. I can still see her shaking her hips to this which made my 16-year-old mind go crazy...
