hi all,
i am so glad i found this site!
:)

i am trying to find any information regarding a video i remember from the early 80s......
all i remember is that there were several videos of the same song, by the same group... all with the same "graphics"....

there were 5-7 men, dressed in dark suits with the long skinny ties.... it looked like they took a photo of these men with black and white film and then cut them out like paper dolls.....

these figures would seem to melt down a flight of stairs.....
they would have their head secure with the bodies spinning around the heads....
they would "melt" back up the steps........
the backgrouond would change and was kinda psychedelic - bright yellow, orange, red.....

it seems that the words were something about going "round and round" or a "wheel" (while the bodies were spinning around the bodies)........

i remember the videos were numbered and mtv played them many times.

well, this is all i can remember.... i'm sorry it's so vague.
this is probably a shot in the dark, but i had to ask :)

thank you in advance for any suggestions any of you can share.
blessings,
paula

The video for "Leave It" by Yes was kind of like that...

I think you are right, SurlyOne. I think Yes had numbered videos.

They're definitely in black suits and ties, with their bodies moving all around the screen in the video via computer effects. It was considered "groundbreaking" at the time...
