YOUTUBE 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: For those who haven't been following my monster YouTube thread on the Thread aPa board (if you didn't know, there's a waiting period for newbies now to keep the creepy crawlies at bay), here are more of my links. Be advised these are MINE AND MINE ALONE, because the rest of those bums had blogs and threw 'em away! But before that, STAND BY FOR A TERRIFYING MESSAGE FROM AL GORE...in his hybrid pimpmobile.
Okay? Moving on...
Okay? Moving on...
- If you liked the ECW Zombie, you'll dig the holy hell out of SURVIVAL TOBITA, MONSTER WRESTLER. As seen on Wrestlecrap. For maximum effect, save the Ken the Box match until last.
- From the Daily Show, so you know it's good: THE REVEREND AL SHARPTON ISN'T HERE!
- To bring the room down for a moment, from 1970: one of Mr. Rogers' fish dies, and Fred talks about when you lose a pet. It's as good and thoughtful as kids' TV will ever get. Part 1 and Part 2.
- And now to bring the room back up: Billy's Balloon.You will laugh.
- Stiff Little Fingers - Nobody's Heroes
- Jilted John - Jilted John: the damndest thing I've seen all month...dig that guy doing the hand jive.
- Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant
- Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit: I couldn't resist...Kurt and Co. found out they were going to be be miming to a prerecorded track, but the producers trusted him to do live vocals. Oh, those naieve bastards...
- Manic Street Preachers - Faster: The story behind this clip's a keeper, too..."The most complaints the show received for a single episode was in 1994 when Manic Street Preachers performed their song "Faster" in a manner that was seen as intimidating and featured lead singer James Dean Bradfield wearing a balaclava such as would be worn by an IRA terrorist." Very tasteful, that.
- Oasis - Lyla: From last year, Liam waits for a nice closeup to give the whole game away.
- Tom Waits "In The Neighborhood": Believe it or not, there was actually a time that MTV would PLAY something like this. That time is called "not now".
- Paul McCartney "Jenny Wren"
- Os Mutantes "Fuga No. 2": because they're doing a reunion tour of America this summer, Jack.
- France Gall "Les Sucettes": Oooookay, so innocent li'l France Gall sings a Serge Gainsbourg-penned song about lollipops that (achHEM) isn't really about lollipops. She claims she was shocked when it was pointed out to her, but LOOK AT THIS VIDEO. Damn, that's some phallic candy.
- Francoise Hardy "L'amitie": I haven't clue one as to what she's singing, and I assure you I don't give a damn.
- Jacques Brel "Ne Me Quitte Pas": He sings the holy hell out of this song. Makes the Rod McKuen version seem a bit shallow.
- Scott Walker's version of "Jackie", another guy you've never heard of. Just ignore that some goober didn't edit an unrelated song out of the clip before they uploaded. Or you can compare it to what he's done in recent years.
