is just one of those songs that will automatically put you in one of those “cool” moods.  I mean I’m not a head bopper but damn if this song doesn’t get me grooving.

I almost feel like putting this on and taking a giant walk through midtown.  Also I think I could get away with kicking people in the balls the entire time if they knew what I was listening to.

Great tune.

I must admit that I’m not the biggest fan of rap music.  I admire the skill in rhyming and mixing beats and what not.  I like how they use tracks from other songs to make new songs.  But honestly I just don’t think rap is the same anymore.  The 80’s and 90’s to me, is when rap was way better.

Now it’s too “hard.”  Not enough fun stuff in the music.  And it’s not as funny as it used to be.  However, if there’s one thing I do admire, it’s the rap battle.   That to me is the ultimate test of skill.

You have to be right on target and incredibly witty at the moment of truth.  You don’t get recording time or any time for that matter.  You have to think of disses immediately.   It’s impressive.

Well, until people fight or look like idiots.

Check out these highly entertaining rap battles

THESE guys are considered part of the new wave of music?  Yes, THESE guys.  Just think about bands like Led Zeppelin, The Doors, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones.   They were the hot bands of their time.  And what do we have in 2009?  The f*ckin Jonas Brothers.

Can you even imagine how much less cool The Jonas Brothers are than them?  I really can’t.  It’s pretty much impossible.  These guys are less than a step away from Hanson.

I can’t believe how sad this generation is.

It’s an amazing moment in a concert.   Just when you think you’ve seen it all.  When the spit pours out of the singer’s mouth.  When the fire is lit on the guitar.  When the fireworks display.   When it’s all said and done the performance isn’t quite over.

The separation of band and crowd is no more in the ever loved moment of the “stage dive.”   For whatever reason the singer or other band member decide to hurl themselves into a crowd of drunken fans who are expected to catch them….or not.

Here are classic moments of “not.”

I know that Funkytown is an old classic, but every single time I hear it I think of the movie Dumb and Dumber.

In any event, I’m liking this new craze of hit songs on computer parts.  It’s very creative.

OK, that’s all.

I’ve seen lists of the worst videos of all time.  Take this one for example.   I mean come on.  Did these guys really do their research?  When you’re talking bad videos do you really want to refer to songs that were hits at the time?  I don’t think that’s such a good idea.

When you’re thinking of crappy music videos crappy music generally tends to be the forerunner to it all.   Not only that, commercially successful bands generally don’t make videos that are super awful (unless you count David Hasselhoff who is on this list).

In any event, I’ve looked at lists, seen the tapes, and have come up with my own batch of videos that is going to be tough to beat.

Here are my top ten worst videos of all time

As most of you know I’m a huge fan of the old Jean Claude Van Damme classics.  Well it certainly doesn’t get any better than Bloodsport.  And perhaps one of the more overlooked features of this movie is the sick soundtrack.

I mean you really can’t mess with “Kumite.”  But on the softer and more sensitive side, we have “On my Own” by the coveted Paul Delph.

This is the song they use when Van Damme is roaming the streets on his own having nightmares about Chong Li.

It’s a real tearjerker.

There’s really not much else to say.  Talk about awesome rap songs.  This is just one of the toughest songs around.  By the way, really dig into the lyrics.  They’re unmatched.

I really miss the movie New Jack City.  Well, I don’t miss it much.  I mean I can rent it tomorrow.  Not a big deal.  Ice T!

Eh, whatever.  Still a cool song.

Now I never said the video was good.  This has got to be the gayest monstrosity on the face of the earth.  And when I say gay I almost think that homosexuals would not even be offended that I just used the word gay.

I mean this video is just super fruity.  Still though, this tune kicks.  It really moves doesn’t it?  Admit it.  Even you, guys.  Put this bad boy in your IPod and I guarantee there will be an extra bounce in that step.

Whatever happened to Right Said Fred?
