Music Videos - Cool, Clever, Fun, Artistic, Odd or Just Plain Silly

That Lily Allen is something... and i like her sound a lot
and found it hilarious.

But what show was that ? was that a spoof of americans in skit on a variety show ? a video ?

that was a Brit girl doing a country Rap as dirty as smutty urban stuff (thought I went "low" with my "rap"? )


you make this noise and I know its all over?
you never make me scream ?

and as you quoted already (edit)

" I lie here in the wet patch in the middle of the bed I feel very well not done-by I spent hours giving head" ? 1:37

lol and then at theend we see these families in the audience giving polite applauce.. a little girld in a frilled party dress and stockings ?

lmao.. I think it went over their heads I hope.

I really like her sound and attitude too. though.. i'm going to need to hear more of her

Ok I've loved lots of the 80s stuff in the thread.... and would have listed so many you guys already have.

Missed a few of my favorites in high school.. probably my personal favorites from back then.

(stay with this one the 35 seconds or so till you get to the music part of the video)



another of theirs (and of course there are more but I'll stop here




then there was:



did you guys post this one yet ?



once had a love a love

^ Yes, it's a spoof on American TV, and I too thought it was hilarious.
And you went lower than Lily does because your rap is in reference to Haley...

That's not blood... it's fish juice.

And nice set of videos. But if you get to post “Madness” I get to post a couple of my secret indulgences:

Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok
Sum 41 - In Too Deep

I'm glad to see Lily getting some love. I'm also surprised she has gotten so little play in the States because I think she and Amy Winehouse were both contemporaries of each other, bringing that mix of old school music and "chick with an attitude" to their music. America picked up on Winehouse and forgot about Lily. Well I'm glad to have added to her fans.

(I guessed her because I figured you would connect with her "attitude with a sense of humor" approach to things)

^ loved all the Lily Allen vids...especially the country western spoof. She has a unique voice and style (where have we heard that before?) ...very artistic. Of course, anytime you put chickens, goats and cows in a music video I get a little teary eyed, because now you've hit my two favorite genres of music...Country & Western...Chicago style

Cut em out, ride em in Rawhide! ... almost as good a shouting "Freebird"

Blues brothers is somewhere on my top 20 movies list.

Blues brothers is all about music - another scene:

Gotta love Aretha !

Another on my favorites list(far lower than it was 20 years go for me though), largely for the music and cinematography:





"you either surf or fight", and of course the "smell of napalm in the morning"... no ride of the valkyries in the clip.

I'm not into the movie now as much as I was at 18 or 20 years old. Knowing a bit more about thw world now, material is too heavy for the way its shown. I'm not sure if it is either if it is edgey enough to portray the magnitude of the hell , or just doesn't quite sends enough messages about real relationships etc .... interesting though.. probably decent enough retelling of conrad's heart of darkness for better or worse. It does have some very interesting "time and place" moments.

Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok

Ha!! Check and Mate, LovinDa... you rib me for my ABBA vids (which even I have to admit the cheese factor usually is near 10 LOL)

Guess who wrote "One Night in Bangkok"?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Night_in_Bangkok

"One Night in Bangkok" is a song originally sung by the British actor and pop-dance singer Murray Head (verses) and Swedish singer and songwriter Anders Glenmark (choruses) on the 1984 concept album for the musical Chess. Its music was composed by former ABBA members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, with lyrics written by Tim Rice & Björn Ulvaeus.

So it seems our 'indulgences' have an ABBA commonality after all LOL

So since we're talking Chessy vids and ABBA... set your ears and eyes on this beautiful slice of Swedish cheese...


(note the simulated heavy bringing @ 1:00) LOL
Cheese level to 11!!

Tom thnx for the Blondie Vid....Gawd she was so deliciously gorgeous back then. Her and Pat Benatar were two power packed favorites of my youth.

and if Madness then "Our House" great song. When it came out, I loved it because it reminded me of the times I grew up in the UK and the friends I had there. Don't know how often I played this song, was a very favorite.


Might as well post CSNY's version, though not silly or artsy, this song always makes me think of happier, more innocent times in the past

Tusk, once again you come back to those "memory markers" of yours. (Because my computer and internet connections both seem to be so -- ummm -- fragile right now, I didn't listen to your postings. I'm sure they're good, and, obviously, have a profound connection to you.)

"Memory markers" is huge, Tusk -- HUGE.

[Tom22]

damn I posted a favorite movie in the funny video thread.

Enjoyed the Our House" vids Tusk and..e r the ABBA made me smile

Not to wax too philosophical, but are our 'souls' not a collection of our experiences, relationships and memories?
I'm not religous per se, and am not sure of the existence of souls, but if I had to put a definition on what I believe a soul to be. That would be it.

Without our experiences, relationships and memories...what are we?

It’s OK Tom, we understand, age does that to people. And besides, who doesn't love "Apocalypse Now"? And Aretha, I had no idea she was going to burst into song in that Blues Brothers clip. That was awesome! Now there’s another movie that I just have to see.

What made me smile was T-Man’s “Checkmate” comment. It’s only 'check' because it's a song originally sung by Murray Head, not by ABBA, who's songwriting skills were never in question.

...anytime you put chickens, goats and cows in a music video I get a little teary eyed

ROFLOL – Thank you for all the laughs you come with Buzz You make the world a happier place!

^ Totally agree MAE …what were we talking about? Oh yeah, the importance of “memory markers”; which begs the question, is that extra bong-load really worth it?

PS. T-Man, The 1977 Crosby, Stills & Nash album, “CSN” is the most precious to me record in my collection.

PSS. And Tom, Thanks for the Stray Cats too- Like them a lot- Love Brian Setzer- Love love love “The Brian Setzer Orchestra”!
