Mia,
You sure do know how to bring back the memories!!! "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" is from a movie called "Mannequin", with Andrew McCarthy (whom you'll recognize in many Molly Ringwald movies) and Kim Cattrall (Samantha from Sex and the City.)
When I was in about 8th grade, I had an on-again, off-again boyfriend since kindergarten, and we went to see "Mannequin" as our first and only movie together--with a group of friends. I remember the brief sex scene (the kind where they start kissing and the screen fades... and they wake up wrapped in blankets the next morning--and how low I slid down in my seat because I felt so embarrassed.)
I later found out that during the whole movie, my poor bf (his name was Andy, and he had the bluest eyes) was debating on... *big drumroll* whether or not he should try to hold my hand. Alas, he was too shy. And we just sat there and watched the movie, like good, innocent kids. Ah... young love!!! Back when the biggest drama of all was whether or not you were going to hold hands!
My personal favorite Starship 80's song is this:

Interesting fact: That's actually his band. They're not just pretty models!
The 1986 produced music video (which uses the shorter single version of this song), directed by British photographer Terence Donovan,[SUP][4][/SUP] was one of the most iconic of the era. The video features Palmer performing the song with an abstract "band", being a group of female models whose pale skin, heavy makeup, dark hair and seductive, rather mannequin-like expression follow the style of women in Patrick Nagel paintings.
The five models in the video are Julie Pankhurst (keyboard), Patty Kelly (guitar), Mak Gilchrist (bass guitar) and Julia Bolino (guitar) and Kathy Davies (drums).[SUP][5][/SUP]
Mak Gilchrist recalled to Q magazine:
“I was 21 and got the part on the strength of my modelling book. We were meant to look and 'act' like showroom mannequins. Director Terence Donovan got us tipsy on a bottle of wine but as we were having our make-up retouched, I lost balance on my heels and knocked the top of my guitar into the back of Robert’s head, and his face then hit the microphone."[SUP][6]

Palmer recycled the video's "iconic models" concept for the videos of three other songs of his : "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" (also from Riptide), "Simply Irresistible" and the animated "Change His Ways" (both from Heavy Nova).[/SUP]
VH1's Pop-Up Video trivia about the video include the fact that a musician was hired to teach the models basic guitar fingering techniques, but "gave up after about an hour and left". The episode also pointed out several choreographic errors, including the models moving out of sync with one another, and moving during points with no back beat, such as the second chorus.
The music video ranked at number 3 on VH1's Top 20 Videos of the 1980s and was both the first and last video shown on long running UK music programme The Chart Show.
The models were also used in the spoof of the video in "Weird Al" Yankovic's UHF wearing glasses and moustaches.
The music video was parodied in the music video of Stardust's "Music Sounds Better with You" and in Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!".

Oh my goodness, my high school boyfriend used to borrow his parents' Chevette to pick me up... The memories!!! Mostly of napping, oddly enough.
For some reason, he'd pick me up, we'd usually run to the grocery store or on a small errand, then go back to my parent's house... and fall asleep on the living room couch. LOL. What can I say... At least my parents always knew where I was.
