1983: The Female Address Video

What I thought was interesting in this video was the difference of the messages, but the similarity of the videos. In both videos, Benatar and Lauper leave their home and parade through the streets and what not, but Lauper's message is more fun and happy, while Benatar's is more visceral. Due to its nature, I think Benatar's video has the stronger message. It is more making more of a statement about the world than Lauper's statement of youth. My video, "Next Girl" by the Black Keys, doesn't really related to "Girls just want to have Fun", but heavily related to "Love is a Battlefield". "Next Girl" is about someone who's girlfriend was beautiful, but a terrible person and scarred him for life. Thinking about "Love is a Battlefield" helped my perspective on this particular subject, but "Girls just want to have Fun" didn't really help me at all. I would say that "Love is a Battlefield" in a sense that, like what happened to the man in the Black Keys song, it can scar you for the rest of your life. You will never be the same after a battle/relationship.
