Even for 1980 this music video is highly questionable. There were a lot of awful music videos when the genre was new, but Benny Mardones' "Into the Night" is still jaw-droppingly awful. Here's why:
There's SO many things wrong with this video.
-First, he's singing about being in love with a 16 year old.
-He's 33.
-He's fugly.
-There's a suuuuuuper long scene of him singing in to a payphone.
-He brings a rug into her house and they fly away like it's a magic carpet.
-The girl's "father" is completely ridiculous-looking
-At the end, he totally makes out with the 16 year old girl.

Can you think of a worse one?

In fairness to Benny, allow me to remind you that he re-recorded and re-released this song in 1989 and it was a hit AGAIN.
