In 1983-84, I was an exchange student in Europe. That spring I stayed with friends in Fribourg, Switzerland. The only English TV channel would play music videos twice a night. Each night, each time, they played the same videos in the same order. I am sorry to say I know this first -hand. (Being poor students, we didn't have money for nightlife.) Three of the songs remain etched in my mind.
Wang Chung, Dance Hall Days

We were endlessly fascinated by the aquacade scenes and wondered where the hell they came from.
Sade, Your Love Is King
Couldn't find this one on YouTube. At one point, she deals a deck of cards, and they call come up kings.

Eta: I finally found the real name of the third song.
Alexei Sayle, 'Ullo John! Gotta New Motor?
