making no sense at all in context, filming a music video - with zero effort beyond being in front of the camera performing a song, in front of a Union Pacific passenger car. What's the point? 1977.



either they were doing nothing more than lip syncing, or the audio was not synced to the visual. Probably the former.... but it was 1977, either is possible.

  1. I'm thinking it was lip-synced-the audio is too spot on to the studio recording. Music videos really weren't a thing yet in 1977, so this may have been a hasty cheap mashup to get 'Cold as Ice' on the MTV rotation in the early 80's. But yeah, its really awful.

  2. If it was '77, both MTV and music videos in general were brand new. The idea of the "concept", or "story line" rock video was yet to come. Most of that era were pretty lame.
