And now for another dose of bizarre '80s video, allow us to present Koko B. Ware's "Piledriver." We imagine the creative forces behind it thinking something like, Construction site? Check. Shirtless beefcakes in hardhats? Check. Dude with Elvis hair? Check. WWF star in gold lamé pants holding a parakeet? CHECK.For the uninitiated, the piledriver is a wrestling move in which one lifts his opponent up, flips 'em, and throws 'em head first into the mat. Why this move warranted an entire music video that mostly doesn't relate at all, we're not sure. But hey, there's Macho Man Randy Savage's attempts to dance, and a Port-a-Potty gets picked up by a forklift. Enjoy!

That song is from the 1987 WWF album "Piledriver"---I had that album. The guy with the Elvis hair is the Honky Tonk Man. How I loved the Honky Tonk Man and his guitar smashing ways, until the Undertaker came into the picture and it was all over.
The best part of that video is Koko dancing with his macaw "Frankie". Frankie had some moves.
