Music Video of the Day: Don’t Say You Love Me by M2M (1999, dir by Nigel Dick)


Why exactly this chirpy tribute to abstinence was included on the Pokemon soundtrack is anyone’s guess.  Apparently, M2M had never heard of Pokemon until they were told that their song was going to play during the film’s end credits.  They were also not happy to learn when they were told that they would have to change some of the lyrics to make the song Pokemon-appropriate.  “You start kissing me, what’s that about?” was changed to “You said you love me, what’s that about?”

I’m not a huge fan of this song, as you may have picked up on.  But I do think the video is kind of cute.  Maybe it’s just because I wish there was a drive-in near my house.  Who knows?

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Smile by Katy Perry (2020, dir by Matthew Cullen)


We could all take a lesson from Katy Perry.  Get out there and enjoy life, despite all of the people who are determined to keep others from doing just that.  We live in a world where some people are addicted to spreading misery and, fortunately, Katy Perry is not one of those people.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Madam by Aidan (2022, dir by ????)


This music video has a retro feel to it that I like.  It’s like an old film about one of those wonderfully sordid wedding ceremonies that rich people have on the Isle of Capri.  All that’s missing is Fernando Rey smoking a cigarette.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: I Turn To You by Melanie C (2000, Dir. by Cameron Casey)


Let’s hang out with Mel C in Ibiza!

This song is used in Bend It Like Beckham, which is one of my favorite movies.  According to Wikipedia, this song is also featured in Viva Forever!, a musical based on the songs of the Spice Girls.  There’s a Spice Girls stage musical?  Why didn’t I know this?

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Bag It Up by Geri Halliwell (2000, Dir. by Dawn Shadforth)


Today’s music video of the day is heaven in a box!

Geri Halliwell’s boyfriend doesn’t appreciate her so she drugs him and then brainwashes him.  Whatever works!  Her boyfriend is played by Aiden Turner, who also played Aiden Devane on All My Children.  Aiden left the show in 2009 and it was canceled two years later.  Coincidence?  I think not.

Back in the day, Lisa and I would annoy the rest of our family by singing this song at the top of our lungs.  The only part that we really knew was the part about bagging it up.

Enjoy!
