Mr. T has a message for everyone.
This originally premiered as a part of Mr. T’s motivational video, Be Somebody … Or Be Somebody’s Fool! Director Jeff Margolis was an Emmy-winning director who worked with Carol Burnett, Julie Andrews, and Richard Pryor.
Enjoy!
In this video, Megadeth takes on the 1990s mortgage crisis with a song that feels just as relevant today as when it was first released. It’s hard to imagine Metallica ever doing a song like this.
Director Jeff Richter has also worked with everyone from Michael Jackson to Faith Hill to John Fogerty and Nine Inch Nails.
Enjoy!
The Breeders did more than just Cannonball. Their entire first album was full of excellent songs, like this one. This video shows that the band was just as cool in the snow as they were at a carnival.
Director Frank Sacramento also worked with Blondie, Everlast, Dru Hill, Hootie and the Blowfish, and House of Pain.
Enjoy!
One of the best songs of the 80s, Tempted was also one of the few Squeeze songs to feature the band’s then-keyboardist Paul Carrack on vocals. The song was originally recorded with Glenn Tilbrook as the lead singer but when producer Elvis Costello heard Carrack singing a slowed-down version of the song, he suggested that it should be re-recorded with Carrack. Tilbrook admitted that, though his ego was “bruised initially,” the song became a hit with Carrack’s vocals.
The video is typical of the early 80s, with the emphasis being put on the band performing as opposed to any sort of visual gimmickry.
Enjoy!
In this video, Britney sings to Sean.

Today’s music video of the day comes to us from Hrdza, a band from Slovakia. It’s an adaptation of an old folk song and it’s a nicely energetic and fun little video. I have to admit that as I was watching it, I saw a lot that reminded me of my own family. It’s kind of nice that I can relate a song and a music video from Slovakia to my own big American-Italian-Spanish-Irish family. Some things are universal!
Enjoy!
Chag Sameach!
Let’s start off April with a music video for my favorite song from Adi Ulmansky.
Enjoy!
Val wrote about this music video way back in 2016. I’m sharing it again because today is Christopher Walken’s 83rd birthday! Walken trained as a dancer before going into acting and he gets to show off more than a few moves in this video.
Walken also trained as a lion tamer before he went into acting. I guess he’s a little bit old to play a lion tamer now but still, that’s something I would have liked to have seen.
Enjoy!
