Ok, I haven't thought about this song in a while, but as a kid I used to play it over and over on the piano until my parents were probably close to filicidal.
The effects where a miniature Faltermeyer is running around with the cast of the movie are particularly cheesy. But I like his hat.

Art of Noise produced some ground-breaking digital sampling, and this video featured a very cute kid in punkish 80s clothing. Another great one of theirs is Paranomia which featured Max Headroom. I think Max may not translate very well to people who weren't living in that era.
