But how can we be sure that they are not pretender?

 

[J.R. Hudson]

I am so putting that in a film one day.

 

[Mythfit]

wow, just , wow

I keep trying to make funny comments but I keep deleting them, you just can’t do good parody about something that is already ludicrous.

 

[Isaac_Brody]

Sweet sweaters. I just watched that six times. I'm hooked.

 

[thartley]

Its crazy antics like that that got you guys tossed out of the hotel at NAB! rogar-BigGrin(DBG)


Seriously, if Lawrence Welk went heavy metal, I think it would look just like that.

 

[Barry_Green]

It's even better than I remembered.

Okay, so we've got to start a master list of all the wonderful music videos at some point. I'm thinking an all-star roster of the greatest music videos the web has brought to us, something like this:

1. "Apache"

Well, if you're taking nominations, this will be mine. Wish I had a better link for it.

I dunno, Barry . . . this thing might edge out "Apache."

 

[J.R. Hudson]

Isn't there like a Crack is Whack Video ?

 

[Terry_Lasater]

They so want to be Abba.

 

[Barry_Green]

I dunno, Barry . . . this thing might edge out "Apache."

It's up there, granted, but ... I dunno, that bit in Apache where he turns and laughs, and when the girls are all fawning over him while he stands there...

... it's close, that's for sure...

 

[Terry_Lasater]

I agree that "Apache" has more kitsch-value in both the song and the video than "I Wanna Love You Tender". However, this was a great find, David. :thumbsup:

 

[Isaac_Brody]

I think this surpasses Apache in terms of repeat watchability. And the song is catchier too.

 

[Mino]

That stuff is light years ahead of its time!

 

[Jared Meyer]

Painful to behold.

Wasn't this posted here before though...?

 

[David Jimerson]

That tall guy who's the dancer makes the whole thing.

I *love* that the girl who's singing just stops dancing in one of the wide shots. "Yes, now is enough for me."

And the guy -- his first CU, he wants to continue lip-synching when there are no words . . . and they USED THE SHOT!

 

[Kirk Gillock]

Videos like that should come with a warning label.

WARNING: Watching may cause vomitting and/or erectile dysfunction. Pregnant women should contact their physician before viewing.

 

[David Jimerson]

That stuff is light years ahead of its time!

And its lips are taste of wine.

 

[They are Them]

oh christ! my eyes! aaahhh!
