Been reminded this morning of this classic late 80s hit.
Of course, most people don’t recognise the follow-up which was a great mickey-take of Stock, Aitken and Waterman. Apparently SAW liked it so much they played it at their Christmas Party!
Bonus points if you can identity all the acts being spoofed or referred to in both videos.
Wow, these records came out just before I left the UK for Africa!
Video 1: Beastie Boys; Chaka Khan
Video 2: Kylie Minogue; Rick Astley; Mel and Kim; Bananarama

You missed at least one cameo.

You worked out the Cameo yet? Same person in both videos.
Philip Cole
I think I saw a very brief Michael Jackson cameo in both videos. Am I right?

Don't think "Prince of Pop" think Queen of guitar playing.
Philip Cole
Thanks for the hint! I've now spotted Brian May!
http://www.peter-ould.net Peter Ould
No you haven't!
Philip Cole
Huh? Then who's the blue-haired guitar player who get's shot in the first video? Ronnie Wood? Tony Iommi? Prince? I give up!

Bassist John Deacon of Queen is in both videos, first as the guy who gets shot in the Stutter Rap and then is the one being a tea boy in the second video.

Aber mit der Heimat
geht man immer herum,
durch die Welt,
dort und dort
Peter Handke
No one could describe
the Word of the Father;
but when He took flesh from you, O Theotokos,
He consented to be described, and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.

Ascensiontide
Risen Christ,
you have raised our human nature to the throne of heaven:
help us to seek and serve you,
that we may join you at the side of the Father,
where you reign with the Spirit in glory,
now and for ever.
God’s Word
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. (Colossians 2:6-7, ESV)
