Death On Video
Speaking of embarassing moments, witness here the death of Billy Squier's career:
From Wikipedia: "Squier revealed that his career as a chart-topping rocker came to a stunningly rapid and sudden end with the release of the music video for "Rock Me Tonite", universally derided by his fans (who saw him as a guitar hero) for its effeminate set (a bedroom dressed in soft, pastel fabrics) and Squier's bizarre, vaguely homoerotic prancing and ripping of his clothing, reminiscent of Jennifer Beals' performance in the film "Flashdance". The video was a demolishing blow to Squier's image among his fans, who deserted him virtually overnight. Billy confirmed that his career didn't recover after that video."
Is there a better example of career-killing video footage? Let's see it. I love this stuff.

Dixie Chicks come to mind, but you want embarrasing.
