Music Video of the Day: Don’t You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia (2012, dir by Christian Larson)


For today’s music video of the day, we have Swedish House Mafia’s Don’t You Worry Child.  This was their 6th and, to date, final single.

(I say “to date” because some of us continue to hope that they’ll eventually get back together for more than just a one-night appearance at the Ultra Music Festival.)

This video was shot during the group’s final performance in the UK, at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: And You’re Not by Etan Salomon (2013, dir by Glendon and Isabella)


I have to say thank you to Evelyn Spurlock for recommending this video to me!

This song is performed by Etan Salomon, who is also the lead vocalist of Tetish.

The animation (and, I’m going to guess, the direction) is credited to Glendon and Isabella, who are credited with directing over 11 other music videos as well.

Enjoy!

Music Video of The Day: One (Your Name) by Swedish House Mafia featuring Pharrell Williams (2010, dir by Henrik Hanson and Christian Larson)


I don’t really have much to say about this video, other than it’s Swedish House Mafia so I love it.  If it makes you want to dance, then it’s done its job.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Save The World by Swedish House Mafia (2011, dir by Jon Watts)


Long before Jon Watts directed Spider-Man: Homecoming, he directed another film about some unlikely super heroes.  The video for Swedish House Mafia’s Save The World shows us that the world is a dangerous place but it also encourages us to fear not.  The dogs are here!

Normally, I’m not really a dog person but I make an exception for the dogs in this video.  To be honest, cats probably wouldn’t make very good superheroes.  For one thing, all the villains would have to do would be schedule their nefarious schemes for whenever Supercat is taking a nap.  Add to that, cats are pretty self-centered.  That’s one reason why I love them but, at the same time, it’s doubtful they’d go out of their way to save a bunch of strangers.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Girls Talk by Garbage, featuring Brody Dalle (2014, dir by Sophie Muller)


I’ve learned from personal experience that you have to be careful singing this song in front of certain company.

This video was directed by the amazingly prolific Sophie Muller, who — as of this writing — is credited with directing 230 videos.  She directed her first video way back in 1987 and is still working to this day.

Enjoy!

 

Music Video Of The Day: Hooked on a Feeling by David Hasselhoff (1997, by ????)


A few weeks ago, I did a google search for the world’s strangest music video.  The results were largely made up of listicles, the majority of which had headlines like, “These Music Videos Are Messed Up and They’re Glorious” or “These 12 Strange Music Videos Are Everything.”

Bleh.  I hate clickbait headlines.

But still, I went ahead and checked out a few of the articles and I noticed that almost all of them mentioned a 1997 video that was made for a cover of Hooked on a Feeling performed by David Hasselhoff.  So, I went to YouTube and I watched the video and yeah, it was pretty weird.  Like a lot of things involving Hasselhoff, it’s hard to tell if it was meant to be taken seriously or if the video was in on the joke.

Anyway, enjoy!
