With Or Without You by U2 I think would be it for me. Mainly because I would sing it loudly as a small child like 4 or 5 years old or something. It’s a thing my mom brings up once in awhile endearingly because I would randomly bust out singing it in front of anyone if it was on.
My parents used to put on MTV when I was very young too for some reason when some of those videos were kind of fucked up. I remember Shock The Monkey by Peter Gabriel and the Thriller music video freaking me out back then. and that one Art Of Noise video where some people smash the shit out of instruments on a dingy urban street. I kind of remember Rockit by Herbie Hancock too. Another weird ass video.
