More than one.
"The Bowling for Soup music video parodies famous videos from early MTV era, including Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love", George Michael's "Faith", Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" (with "Debbie" rolling on a car a la Tawny Kitaen), and parodies M?tley Crüe, Van Halen and Poison."

"For the video, Bowling for Soup wanted to parody all their favorite '80s videos, but their budget limited them to a few.
"We knew we wanted to do the M?tley Crüe thing that was going to take a lot of money, so we went with ones that even kids would recognize," Reddick (this is lead singer Jaret Reddick) said. "The George Michael ['Faith' parody] was very easy 'cause all we had to do was rent a jukebox. We were going to hire a stunt butt for that scene, but I cast my own butt."

If you check the video:

In order, the parodies are:
"Addicted To Love" - Robert Palmer (they are all dressed in suits)
Run DMC & Aerosmith "Walk This Way” (they are dressed as Run DMC - this is not quite like the actual video)
"Faith" - George Michael (he's dancing with guitar next to jukebox)
"Here I Go Again" - Whitesnake (the last one, girl rolling on car)
idk but their freakin halarious! lol!
