This sounds like the video for "Wouldn't It Be Good" by Nik Kershaw.

That's the one! Thank you so much!
This is an old song from the 80s, I believe. I can’t remember any of how the song goes, but I remember the music video for the song features a guy in a big puffy white suit. They used a chroma-key sort of technique to make the suit play videos from TV and such. I know the song is old enough that chroma-key didn’t really exist when the video was made, so it was a novel effect back in the day. I think the idea is that the guy’s supposed to be an alien and his suit is just picking up radio waves carrying television signals, but that doesn’t come across in the video itself.
