80s Music/A certain music video

Question
Hey!
I was wondering, there is a music video that I'm trying to help my GF find.
Anyway, the only information I have is that it is a black and white music video from around 82-89 with a guy with long dark hair, holding a rose and singing to it.
A girl appears in the video lying on the meadow, and there is also a snake in it.
The singer seems to look like Peter Steele but in his younger days and a bit thinner.
I'm sorry I can't give more info, that's all I have, hope you could help. ^^

Answer
Automatically my mind goes to Glenn Danzig from the band "Danzig" or Ian Astbury from the band "The Cult", just on  the Pete Steele  comparison. The B&W  video comment has me baffled.. I have been through  every one I can think of of all 3 artists, just in case..and keep going back to the actual Type O Neg "Black No. 1" ( Which is Not an entirely "bad" thing..atleast for me :) I'd be interested to locate this song as well.  I know you have say you have little more to go , but can you advise if you/she recalls if the song is of the same genre as these. Was it a goth/metal type, or more synth pop as the era was more noted for?  This might be where I am going off track in my search.  
I look forward to helping solve this for you

Best Wishes to you and yours

Expertise

A variety of musical questions. I am familiar with many genres and many decades of music. Though my love for music is based primarily in 70's Country and 80's rock, I am a huge fan of 50's and 60's music as well. Everything from Frank Sinatra, to Dusty Springfeild, to Johnny Cash or the Statler Brothers!

Experience

D-J for radio ( oldies classic hits ) Did fill in D-J on weekends and from "atop the building" in a restaraunt . We specialized in 50's and 60's music. ( Bubblegum music and early Motown) But, there were several occasssions where we would "smuggle in" some Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, and the Doors.

Publications
My short stories can be seen in the book entitled "A Modern Compilation of Short Stories for Children" published by the Children's Literary Guild. Published in 1999.

Education/Credentials
I Hold degrees in Criminal Law and Business Management from Marshall University and the Hagarstown division of Frostburg College respectively. However, my degrees have little to with my greatest accomplishment, in my opinion atleast! I am a published writer. My contribution can be seen in the book entitled "A Modern Compilation of Short Stories for Children" published by the Children's Literary Guild. I love to write, and I love music. Most of my stories are written on a musical premise.
