What is that video with the black guy falling in love with a vampire and then cheating on her? It happens in a graveyard and castle?
You're likely thinking of Ray Parker Jr.'s THE OTHER WOMAN from his album of the same name. While the album cover is as hotel lobby sedate as possible, the Horror comedy music video is a whole other story and broke fresh ground (and rumored to have been banned from MTV) for its portrayal of interracial couples.
Speaking of Horror comedy, Ray went on to sing the lead song for the hit Horror comedy, GHOSTBUSTERS. He was later sued by Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the News for plagiarism. Huey claimed that certain parts of Ray's song, Ghostbusters, were lifted from his own song, I Want A New Drug. While the two songs bear an uncanny resemblance to each other, the lawsuit itself (the case was settled out of court) seemed odd considering that talk of the time was that the bass line in Huey's song bore more than mere passing resemblance to M's hit song, Pop Music, released five years earlier (go HERE for a side by side comparison of the three songs).
Ray's music and popularity continued on throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, seemingly unphased by the suit and accusation.
