Directed by: Michael Patterson Candace Reckinger
Paula Abdul’s “Opposites Attract,” released on November 17, 1989, is a standout track from her debut album, *Forever Your Girl*. The song, written and produced by Oliver Leiber, features vocals from Abdul and The Wild Pair (Bruce DeShazer and Marv Gunn). It achieved significant commercial success, topping the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1990. The innovative music video, directed by Michael Patterson and Candace Reckinger, showcases Abdul dancing with the animated character MC Skat Kat, a concept inspired by the film *Anchors Aweigh*. This video won the 1991 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video.
