Forgotten Classic Video of the Week

My video picks aren't usually this timely but here you go—it's "Illegal Alien" by Genesis. I'm not sure the song is really considered a classic; it peaked just shy of the Top 40, but I do remember the vid being on pretty heavy rotation on MTV.



I'm assuming that Phil Collins was going for a Mexican vibe here, but maybe someone should have told him that he actually looked like a slightly disheveled Hitler before filming.

LOL, your timing makes it all the more funny. :)
Genesis was the first band I identified as my "favorite band". I think their self-titled album, which this song comes from, was their last really good album. Ah, memories.

This is still one of my favorite Genesis tunes. Phil's toupee'/hat is one of the best video props of all time!
