Huh? Worst green screen? When this was made, it defined the state of the art in both green screen and music videos. Charlex, the company that made this, did a lot of work in this style including the opening for a number of seasons of Saturday Night Live. This was long before digital video editing, so they had to run a dozen analog 1" videotape machines at the same time to produce all these layers, and used a pair of the biggest video switchers made to key it all together.

Try to view things in context please. Yes, you could reproduce it on a home PC now (though it would still require a bit of rendering), but at the time it was an amazing achievement. It won "Video of the Year" over Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and Herbie Hancock's "Rockit".
