Tonight's mystery artist supposedly had his career all but ruined by one music video. Think you know the song or artist??

The song in question was the “Rock Me Tonite” music video starring Billy Squire. VH1 put it this way: " It’s a clip so notorious that it warrants an entire chapter in the 2011 book ‘I Want My MTV’. The video features Billy alone in a pastel-hued bedroom, where skips, prances, power-snaps his fingers, slips into draw-string pants, rolls around on silk sheets, humps the floor, and, with uncomfortable erotic fervor, rips open one tank top before sliding into another.

In general and not entirely without justification, “Rock Me Tonite” is regarded as the single worst music video of all time. Billy Squier himself agrees. The clip turned him into a laughingstock and derailed his career. As Rudolf Schenker of the Scorpions put it: “I liked Billy Squier very much, but then I saw him do this video in a very terrible way. I couldn’t take the music serious anymore.” Ouch!
