I remembered that Keanu Reeves was in the video, and it had a 50's background to it.
It is a cool video.
I don't understand why they can't make good videos anymore.
I also love the video for:
Promise of a New Day.

To me also, "straight up" was by far the best song by Paula Abdul.
Aaah but Keanu Reeves...mmmmmh.
I heard that she had a strange reality show on tv in America in recent years?
@bandit: that was the most amazing video, so much more impressive to me than the ever applauded "sledgehammer"-video!

Paula Abdul is one of the three judges on American Idol

She did have a reality show too....I don't know if it is still on anymore...she bawled constantly in any clips I ever saw from that show.

Yeah, "Straight Up" is still the jam. I remember the first time I saw that video. I was sitting at my parents kitchen table eating pizza and it was a Saturday early evening. My one girlfriend was over and we were like this song is awesome...hey wait...there's Arsenio Hall?!?!?
Paula actually released a new song this year called "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" and it was great! Perfect nod to her past but current enough sounding. I was surprised it didn't turn into a hit. Check it out online if you guys get a chance. You will most likely love it!

Oh and the "Rush Rush" video was cool. A little tribute to Rebel Without A Cause. Classic!

Paula looks a bit "scary" in that video. Wayyyyyyyyyy to much makeup.

I agree with those who think that "Straight Up" is Paula's best song.
However, my favorite music video from her is "Opposites Attract".

I'm more partial to Forever Your Girl, then Promise of a New Day.
