Music Video of the Way: Will You Help Me Repair My Door by Afroman (2022, dir by Afroman)


In 2022, sheriff’s deputies in Adams County, Ohio raided the home of rapper Afroman.  According to the warrant, they were doing so on suspicion of drug trafficking and kidnapping.  They found neither drugs nor kidnapping victims but they did find and seize over $5,000 worth of Afroman’s money.  The money was later returned, with $400 of it missing.  During the raid, they also damaged the front gate, blow up a door, and illegally turned off the house’s security cameras.

Afroman responded with three songs about the raid, all utilizing the footage that security cameras recorded before being shut down.  The deputies attempted to sue, claiming that the videos were an invasion of their privacy.  The judge eventually threw out their lawsuit though another lawsuit, claiming that the video and the songs “defamed” the deputies was allowed to proceed.

So, I guess you should enjoy the video for Will You Help Me Repair My Door? while you still can.

 

Music Video of the Day: Push It To The Limit by Paul Engemann (2016?, dir by ????)


This video would have been better if Al Pacino had been in it but still, how can you not enjoy this uplifting song from one of the darkest and most violent films ever made?

(Yeah, whether or not this counts as a “real” music video is debatable.  It’s clearly meant to be a parody and was obviously filmed long after 1983 but it’s also one of the only “professional” videos out there for this song so I’m going with it!)

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Space Invader by Dexter and the Moonrocks (2023, dir by Trent Starks)


Always be prepared.  You never know who might land outside of your house.  Anyway, this is a fun video.  Remember that real Space Invaders can be destroyed just be coughing on them and giving them some of those Earth germs for which they have yet been able to build up an immunity.

Enjoy!
