      pop up for pat benatar’s shadows of the night got one wrong. when she shoots down a german fighter, it reads “there were no women fighter pilots during world war 2.” the russians actually had three female aces. one of which, in a dogfight, shot down a german ace who had more kills than she did. he survived and was captured. he demanded to see the pilot who had shot him down. when they brought her to him, he refused to believe that it was a woman until she described the fight perfectly.

      Love Pop Up Video!

    • Web Sta 4 months ago

      My favorite pop up video was white wedding by billy idol. He and his girlfriend (the goth ballerina in the video) wrote it to mock his younger sister who was pregnant and getting married. The sister and husband are still married with several children. Billy and girlfriend broke up a few months later.

      Oh, Pop Up Video. They weren’t the best at proper research. For example #6 - The Spice Girls didn’t name themselves. A magazine gave them their nicknames to make fun of them, but they liked them and adopted their aliases.
