I also had Bobby Brown's tape: "Don't Be Cruel"!! I never even knew this song had a video!! "Parents just don't understand" was on heavy rotation back then on BET and MTV. But this is the first time in 30+ years I ever saw this video! I didn't have much money back then, but I had my music! Had to be careful back then too! Crack cocaine the addicts and drug violence too! My sister and brother in law were both hooked on crack! But this music temporarily helped me escape their misery and hopelessness!

[@AgsmaJustAgsma]

It was re-discovered over a month ago, when someone found a VHS tape with a recording of the music video with the sound slightly distorted and a clip of the TV show Growing Pains overwritting a couple of seconds of ithe tape, but still, it was too big of a discovery to not post it on KZbin, which got taken down because Jazzy Deff decided to make an official upload of it. I'm pretty sure that Deff has always owned a copy of the music video, he just didn't want to upload it until the time was right.

The original video has freddy kruger in it with the actual guy who played fred kruger. The studio got mad and made jazzy and prince reshoot the vid without fred kruger.
