You don’t have to put on the red light, Those days over You don’t have to sell your body to the night You don’t have to wear that dress to night Those days are over You don’t have to put on the Redlight Those days are over You don’t have to put on the Redlight Those days are over You don’t have to put on the Redlight Those days are over You don’t have to put on the Redlight Those days are over You don’t have to put on the Redlight Those days are over You don’t have to put on the Redlight
This is an enjoyably atmospheric music video. It makes me want to read a paperback epic about intrigue in a royal court.
Enjoy!

At some point, in the future, it will be realized that Paul Thomas Anderson’s Haim videos constitute some of the best short films of the decade. It’s the perfect collaboration between a group of artists. This is their latest and video and you better enjoy!
[Verse 1] Tryin’ to get on top But it’s never easy Mastered my own luck But it wasn’t easy I’m tryin’ to feel alright Around all these people I try, but I’m just numb This time
[Chorus] Deepest cut that I can’t feel Found a grip on the steering wheel I know a piece’s stuck You can sit down if you don’t mind me standin’ up (Mind me standin’ up) I know I was too good to pass (Too good to pass) So me and you caused a chain reaction (Chain reaction) I’ll take the smallest crumb But I’ll never get back what I lost track of
[Verse 2] Laugh when I’m still cryin’ Yeah, you know the deal Burn but it’s still fine (Huh) Yeah, you know the deal Can’t redeem my love That’s such a steal But you can’t say I’m not tryin’ This time
[Chorus] Deepest cut that I can’t feel Found a grip on the steering wheel I know a piece’s stuck You can sit down if you don’t mind me standin’ up (Mind me standin’ up) I know I was too good to pass (Too good to pass) So me and you caused a chain reaction (Chain reaction) I’ll take the smallest crumb But I’ll never get back what I lost track of Oh, I’ll never get back what I lost track of I’ll never get back what I lost track of I’ll never get back what I lost track of
[Outro] I’ll never get back what I lost track I’ll never get back what I lost track I’ll never get back what I lost track I’ll never get back but I’ve lost track
As far as videos about Christina Ricci chopping off MC Hammer’s head are concerned, this is probably the best.
Addams Groove was the theme song for 1991’s The Addams Family. The video opens with MC Hammer losing his head but it turns out that not even decapitation can silence Hammer. Hammer eventually ends up fighting with Raul Julia over Anjelica Huston, proving that anything was possible in the 90s. It’s easy to laugh at a video like this today but, back in 1991, videos like this were a big deal and it was a rare for any film to be released with an accompanying music video. This song was MC Hammer’s last top ten hit in the United States. It also received a Razzie nomination for Worst Song of the Year.
Though the film was the directorial debut of Barry Sonnenfeld, this video was directed by Rupert Wainwright, who was responsible for directing most of MC Hammer’s videos. He also did the video for N.W.A’s Straight Outta Compton. Wainwright would eventually go on to direct Stigmata and the remake of The Fog.
“This week or last week I don’t really care about it anymore I write myself this later I tell myself you let me go
Without me What’s wrong with you? Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday
Your house or mine I don’t really care about it anymore I close my eyes I, I make myself unhappy so you’ll go
Without me What’s wrong with you Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday
Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Damn your mood swings Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Damn your mood swings
I’m calling out I don’t really care for your city anymore I spend the night I lay awake and miss you when you go
Without me What’s wrong with you Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday
Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Damn your mood swings Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Damn your mood swings Oh, and I I say damn your mood swings Damn your mood swings”
For the life of me, I cannot remember what made me think Everything Zen by Bush was the worst song of the 90s while this song exists.
I guess I forced The Freshmen out of my head, despite the fact that it was inescapable in 1997. When the song came out, everyone assumed that it was about a rape that was followed by a suicide but the The Verve Pipe’s lead singer later said that the song was inspired by his girlfriend getting an abortion when they were younger and that the lyrics about Valium were poetic license. (The amount of valium mentioned in the song would not be fatal.) Abortion is a serious subject matter and there’s been a lot of good songs written about that very topic. Of course, this derivative dirge isn’t exactly one of them.
A quick google search revealed that there are a lot of people who are under the impression that the “I can’t be held responsible” line is meant to be taken literally. Though I’m not a fan of the song, I will say that I don’t think we’re necessarily meant to agree with the all of the lyrics. I think that the “Can’t be held responsible,” is just something the song’s narrator is telling himself as a way to deal with his guilt. That this fairly obvious point was missed by both critics and fans says more about them than it does the song.
This video is pure 90s angst, from the room with the one light bulb to the band slowly appearing behind the lead singer. Angst was big in the 90s, though there was eventually enough of an angst backlash that it led to the era of the boy bands and pop queens. Still, those of us who grew up in the 90s can’t be held responsible. We won’t be held responsible. People listened in the first place.
This is Okean Elzy. They may not be a household name here in the States but in Ukraine, there are one of the country’s oldest and most popular rock bands. Today’s music video of the day is about a lot more than just honoring a band.
