My problem with '80s humor isn't so much the nostalgia; it's that those who dabble in it rarely go for the deep cuts. The only way you can remember this is if you saw the hit Michael J. Fox preppy comedy of the same name. This song sounds like an '80s comedy, with gauche synths and over-the-top horn charts.
Why is this video funny?
1) The mugging and smiling at the camera is sincere;
2) It's a rock song about success. Does it get less rock and roll than that? If this song were a bigger hit, we surely would have been deluged with songs about APR financing and stock options.
Stay tuned for the aggro hi-five at around 4:32.
HELP ME READERS: Is that really Weird Al and Motley Crue as the horn section?

The YouTube comments say that Weird Al and Motley Crue are the horn section. YOUTUBE COMMENTS NEVER LIE.
Although I thought it was Joey Belladonna playing next to Weird Al.
