Random terrifying thing from my childhood. I was six, when Tim Finn’s “Fraction Too Much Friction” (1983) was released. Great track. The video, directed by Richard Lowenstein, featured a neon dachshund and all sorts of chaotic city-life scenes—but also this weird frantic demon, surrounded by hellish steam, that gave me the chills each time he popped up. 37 years later and I haven’t forgotten.
