Banzai!



One of the world's greatest music videos isn't even a music video. This is the end credits scene from the 1984 movie The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, without the credits. The song is simply titled "End Credits," written by Michael Boddicker.

According to IMDB: "When it came time to film the end titles sequence, where Buckaroo and his friends are walking around a dry Los Angeles aqueduct in step to the music, the music wasn't ready. Composer Michael Boddicker told the film crew to use the song "Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel as a placeholder, because it was the exact same tempo. Those scenes were filmed with "Uptown Girl" blaring from a boom box tied to the back of the camera truck."
