Bruce Springsteen’s Dancing in the Dark Video and What Could Have Been

Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark video happens to be one of the most memorable videos of the 80's.  Heck, it even features a unknown Courtney Cox.  Did you know it was almost an entirely different video.  See the footage after the jump.

So would you still be swooning over Bruce if this is the video you watched?  I, don't know, something about that headband throws me off.

Here's the video that we know and love directed by Brian De Palma, the guy who gave us, Scarface, Carlito's Way and Carrie.

Do you think the original footage would have made a great video, or are you happy with the one that was released?
