Friday OT #3 - Video Killed The Radio Star

[cyclones500]

Thanks to @Farnsworth for this one! I think it'll be popular:

What songs, when you hear them, immediately make you think of the video?

My immediate, gut reaction is "Thriller," as I think a lot of people's will be. But another one for me is "Black Hole Sun" with the creepy melting faces and surreal coloring.

OMG, Angie, you had to send me down a pop-music rabbit-hole prior to noon on Friday?

Tool "sober"
Metallica" Entersandman"
Britney Spears "Hit Me Baby One More Time"

I was going to mention "Sober" as well.

Another is Marilyn Manson "The Beautiful People"

I mentioned a couple last week but ill be different.
Aerosmith- Crazy
Green Day- Basket case
Jamoriquai- Virtual insanity

 

[TXCyclones]

Not sure if somebody else already hit on these two yet, but these are the two that immediately take me back to the start of MTV, along with Run DMC. But others, like MC Hammer, Whodini, and all of the Yo' MTV Raps come to mind too.

Wicked Game- Chris Isaak

Toto - Africa
Metallica - One. The clips from Johnny got his Gun still kind of freak me out.
Tupac and Dr. Dre - California Love
Jamiroquai (sp?) - Virtual Insanity

One of the best music videos of all time.

Oh, nice choice. My favorite Springsteen video is Glory Days. It's the band playing in some crappy little club, and there's a part where Max Weinberg flips one of his drumsticks in the air and catches it in between beats. To this day, whenever I hear that song I find myself pantomiming that move. It's funny how little stuff just kind of sticks with you.

I definitely missed out on the heyday of MTV. Kind of showing my age with this list, but some of my favorites.

Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.


My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay (I Promise)


Eminem - Without Me


Gnarls Barkley - Crazy


Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice

 

[cyclones500]

I could go on indefinitely, but I'll truncate my list (Somewhat). (Part 1 of 2)

“Centerfold,” J. Geils Band ... ah, the '80s


“Kickstart My Heart,” Motley Crue .. ah, the late-'80s


“Wild Thing,” Tone Loc


Two sides of same retro-coin:
“Hey Ya!”

“In Bloom,” Nirvana

Walk Like An Egyptian. Very good friend is in the video:

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Toto - Africa
Metallica - One. The clips from Johnny got his Gun still kind of freak me out.
Tupac and Dr. Dre - California Love
Jamiroquai (sp?) - Virtual Insanity

This video was pretty powerful, but it made me read the book.

Great Jamiroquai mention. I'll add Ok Go's "Here It Goes Again" to keep with a similarish theme.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Damn, almost forgot one of my favorites.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

I am SO very grateful for THIS video:



Because it allowed me to forget THIS video:

 

[cyclones500]

Part 2 of 2
“Outtasite (Outta Mind),” Wilco


“Loser,” Beck ... Get crazy with the Cheez Whiz!


“I’ll Be You,” The Replacements. Most underrated music video of all time. (not counting Monkees "video clips")

 

[Tailg8er]

Blink 182 - What's My Age Again

Miley - Wrecking Ball


I guess I remember naked people.
