Music Video of the Day: Do You? by Rebecca Black (2019, dir by Bia Jurema)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

There’s a music video out there for a song called “This is Thanksgiving.”  I was originally going to share it because it’s one of those videos that’s regularly cited as being one of the worst ever made.  However, I changed my mind because a lot of the comments that I saw underneath the video were extremely mean-spirited and seemed to be personally attacking the girl who sang the song, as if it was her fault that some creepy old man wrote a bad song and directed a crappy video.

Anyway, that got me thinking about Rebecca Black, who was the subject of a lot of unfair ridicule over Friday.  The good thing about Rebecca’s story, however, is that she didn’t give up and she’s continued to perform and most of her post-Friday stuff isn’t bad at all.

In fact, here’s the video for Do You?, performed by Rebecca Black.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Jeff Goldblum by Mattiel (2021, dir by ????)

Who else could inspire such loyalty?

Actually, though, the song itself isn’t about Jeff Goldblum.  It’s about about someone who is a “little like a younger Jeff Goldblum.”  The video, however, is all about Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis.

Enjoy!
