I NEED YOUR HELP!

My name is Chris, and I am writing an article for a small, mostly music oriented magazine called Chunklet (www.chunklet.com).

The subject of the article is 80's Music videos and I ask the burning question:

Why do they flip over tables in so many videos?

I need your help: I need you to post all the videos you can think of that contain said table-flipping.

I will credit everyone I can for their help with this. If for any reason you need to email me: chris@chunklet.com

Thanks in advance for letting tap into your vast and encyclopedic knowledge.

Can we postulate theories? If so my personal theory is that it looks cool and agressive and angry, but no one actually gets hurt do they? It is a great way to demonstrate an extreme level of pissed off-ness, but not too violent to raise a censors eyebrows. Besides, stuff breaking in slow motion is cool.

don't forget Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire"

Michael Jackson had a video where they turned over a table, forgot wich one it was though. Maybe it was in Beat It?

Motels "Only the Lonely"

Never thought about it, but it is true. What about the ever present post apocalyptic theme running through so many 80's video's?
