We watched ourselves some MTV last night, and again today, as the network returned to its music television roots to honor Michael Jackson. They’ve been showing a lot of MJ’s videos, and many of them are ridiculously great.
But “Liberian Girl“?
This one, though, we don’t know what to make of it even now, years later. Nothing seems to happen, and yet so many celebs are in on it. It’s Michael Jackson panning a camera over a soundstage filled with just about every famous person he could get into the room at once. This wasn’t for “We Are The World.” This was just because. Watch the video and keep your eyes peeled! Do you recognize them all 20 years later? The cast included: Paula Abdul, Rosanna Arquette, Dan Aykroyd, Mayim Bialik, Bubbles, Jackie Collins, David Copperfield, Richard Dreyfuss, Corey Feldman, Lou Ferrigno, Debbie Gibson, Danny Glover, Steve Guttenberg, Jasmine Guy, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherman Hemsley, Olivia Hussey, Amy Irving, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Beverly Johnson, Quincy Jones, Don King, Virginia Madsen, Olivia Newton-John, Brigitte Nielsen, Lou Diamond Phillips, Ricky Schroder, Steven Spielberg, Suzanne Somers, John Travolta, Blair Underwood, Carl Weathers, Billy Dee Williams, and “Weird Al” Yankovic.
