This was the British Columbia native's first top ten hit, in 1983, the greatest year for MTV and videos. I loved the opening riff, the melody of the song, and, well, the hot brunette in the video, let's be honest. Hey, I was 22, what can I say?
This was before Adams began doing only lame movie soundtrack and lamer ballads (though the dreadful "Straight From the Heart" was on the same album as "Cuts Like a Knife."), "This Time" was also a hit single from that album.
The video itself is classic cheapo video, filmed in a swimming pool. Sometimes I think the vids were better when they were low budget.

I had a major crush on him in college. Just watching that video makes me feel 20 - now I'm strangely craving Ramen and upside-down margarita shooters.
Don't forget the lame Heaven. Ugh.
That takes me back, too.
A friend of mine had an outdoor wedding and when the ceremony was done and they were walking back down the 'aisle', out of the woods came the worst sound ever - Brian singing "Everything I Do, I Do It For You". Ugh.
Why are all of your "Forgotten Videos" ones that I remember all too well? Oh yeah, I was an MTV junkie.
So the burning question is...who is the hot brunette in the video?! I'd really like to know...can't find it on google.
Help!
