Do you want to watch one of the most expensive music videos ever made?

Even more importantly, do you have 15 minutes to watch MC Hammer?

The idea behind this video is that MC Hammer is thinking about quitting the business but James Brown wants him to steal Michael Jackson’s glove.  Before we even get to Hammer, we sit through James Belushi as a newscaster and cameos from several 1991 celebrities.  Danny Glover, Henry Winkler, Freedom Williams, David Faustino, Barry Sobel, Ralph Tresvant, Mark and Donnie Wahlberg, Eazy-E, DJ Quik, 2nd II None, Tony Danza, Queen Latifah and Milli Vanilli all appear in this video, as do several athletes: José Canseco, Isiah Thomas, Kirby Puckett, Jerry Rice, Rickey Henderson, Deion Sanders, Andre Rison, Wayne Gretzky, Chris Mullin, Roger Clemens, Roger Craig, Ronnie Lott, Lynette Woodard, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, David Robinson, and former Atlanta Falcons coach Jerry Glanville.  Obviously, with David Faustino and Tony Danza standing behind him, there was no way MC Hammer could quit.

This video was named the fifth worst music video of all time by MAX Music.  That was only with hindsight, though.  A shortened version was a hit on MTV and, in 1991, the Atlanta Falcons dubbed themselves the 2 Legit 2 Quite Falcons.  (They went 10-6 that season.)

Director Rupert Wainwright also did the video for U Can’t Touch This.

Enjoy!
