Stop the Madness

EEDLE47474744vvf.JPG
Hoo-boy, here's Stop the Madness, the only 80s music video to ever be sponsored by the White House. Can you guess to what purpose? Yes, none other than Nancy Reagan's pet bit of concern, the Drug War. Can you guess which musical and pop culture superstars of the time made the Gipper's cut for inclusion in this We Are the World-esque sing-song? Here's a list, with appropriate irony markers proved by the site: New Edition, LaToya Jackson, Whitney Houston (irony!), Nancy Reagan, David Hasselhoff, Tootie from Facts of Life, Herb Alpert (irony!) from Whipped Cream Delights, Casey Kasem (awesome!), Arnold Schwarzenegger (irony!), and many others.

One of those "others" is Boogaloo Shrimp from Breakin' and Breakin' 2, creator of the pop-and-lock and the moonwalk. Yes.
