You see this is how I do. To entertain the lot of you I must really get down and dig deep. I’ve gotta put it all on the line. I have to search the depths of my soul to come up with search terms that will yield the best material I can find.
So what do I decide to type into Youtube this time? Yeah, “bikini bong.” And the first video that comes up? I have no idea what this is. I think it’s some random music video called “666MPH” by Bong Ra? Who cares. It rules.
There was a time when Michael Jackson looked real. There was a time when he was bigger than life. There was a time that the mere sight of this guy would send people (women and men mind you) into faint. There was a time when the only way he could leave a concert was in a damned jet pack.
The man was that popular. Now? Unfortunately now I don’t think he’ll be remembered as that. I doubt he’ll be remembered as perhaps the biggest musical performer ever. He’s gonna go down as a fake looking dude who probably sleeps with children.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s gross and I certainly think it’s about the worst thing any adult could do. But it’s a shame that he’s so messed up because he really was a fantastic music star.
In that light, here are my buddy Matt’s top five Michael Jackson videos (with his commentary)
When you really think about it, it’s kind of impossible to top Woodstock. Granted I never went to Woodstock, but I’ve heard about Woodstock. My father, who was kind of a hippie back in his day. attended Woodstock. And to this day, he can’t necessarily remember much, but he certainly remembers the good stuff.
Namely the fact that you had a gathering of not only thousands of people who wanted to do nothing more than smoke drugs, have sex and listen to music….but you also had an absolutely Hall of Fame collection of bands all in one place at the same time.
Sure we have Lollapalooza and other “All-Star Band” gatherings, but come on team. Let’s not kid ourselves. Woodstock was the creme de la creme and I personally don’t think it will ever be matched. In honor of 1969’s Woodstock, Life Magazine shared some amazing pictures of the event.
I’m actually a little disappointed seeing this video because these guys couldn’t look any weaker if they tried. But what do you expect in a song that features bagpipes, Irish countryside and mopeds?
Despite all of this, I think “Big Country” is an underrated song of the 8o’s. Enjoy it, and enjoy the rest of your day! Yay! Yahoo! Whoooo!
I admit, I was messing around in Youtube looking for a cheesy slow song to put in for the embarrassing songs feature. So what did I type in? Crazy for You, expecting to find the Madonna love song.
Well it did show up, but so did this gem. Oh my lord could this video possibly be any better? You just can’t mess with David Hasselhoff. It’s impossible.
I first heard this song in the movie Blow. I don’t care who you are, how dorky you are, and in what setting you’re in. This song immediately puts you in “I’m gonna kick some serious ass” mood.
So if you feel crappy, tired, not in the mood for anything right now? You can thank my ass for bringing this song to the table today.
just felt like sharing a bit of personal information with you guys. I’m absolutely enamored with this song. Rarely do you find songs that you can actually play twice in a row and feel just as good the second time around.
Perhaps it’s because the song’s running time is under three minutes but that’s besides the point damnet. It’s just a great song and I hope it broke up your day nicely.
I tell you I haven’t watched a music video in a very long time. However, music videos can be truly fantastic from time to time. In fact being a solid music video director is a highly respected and highly compensated job (think of guys like Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry).
And once in a while you’ll get a taste of a little movie in one of these videos. One of the things that certainly sparks my attention while watching a video is when I can spot someone who is reasonably famous.
With that in mind, here are 10 classic videos that feature well known celebrities (some of them weren’t really well known at the time).
I’m personally an 80’s and 90’s rap guy. Unfortunately the rap of today doesn’t quite do it for me like it did back when I was in high school or even my early years of college. Perhaps it’s that there’s too much freestyling today. Or maybe because 10-20 years ago it felt like rap was more “musical?”
I’m sure many people would disagree with me, and that’s completely fine. However, I’ll take “The Humpty Dance” over anything they got out there today, hands down. So as I was reminiscing about days of rap that I used to like, it got me thinking.
Not only did I like the music, but the voices of some rappers had always been burned into my brain. I mean when these guys hit the radio, you knew it was them. With that in mind, here are 10 rappers whose voices you could never mistake for anyone else’s. Also, some amazing videos that will take you back.
