That was from the MTV Christmas party. A lot of the people in the video were MTV VJs (as opposed to DJs), The guy that you thought looked like Chubby Checker was one of the original VJs, J.J. Jackson. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us.
Billy was very underrated as a vocalist and he agreed to music videos that were absolutely horrendous. Someone had to have tried to sabotage Billy’s career.
That was so much fun! Love Billy Squier's voice. Thanks, Harri and Tim.
From me too 😍🥰👋👋👋
The back-up singers are all people working for MTV. But I prefer to think of them as Billy's Choir.
Still digging this 80's classic
First MTV Christmas
Merry Christmas Harri🧑🎄
Looks like Martha Quinn and Nina Blackwood, original MTV VJs, among others.
Yes, I agree Billy's voice does have similar characteristics of Noddy Holder from Slade.

Also Mark Goodman an JJ Jackson were there. Blonde guy was either Alan Hunter or Adam Curry.
Wanna hear another great Christmas tune from that era? Brian Adams Christmas time
Please play Benny Margones - Into the night
The vocals will blow you away…

Some record exec had it out for Billy and had Squires music blackballed.
