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!
Welcome to the 60s!
No, actually, this video is from 2013 but, much like the song, it does a pretty good job of capturing the 60s aesthetic.
Enjoy!
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!
Prendre plaisir!
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!
Hell yeah!
Enjoy!
Today’s music video of the day is Tess Roby’s Catalyst. This video is a mood piece, one that is can either be beautiful or ominous depending upon the mood of the viewer.
Enjoy!
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!
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!
38 years ago today, Pink Floyd’s Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) started a four week run at No.1 on the US singles chart.
When most people think about the video for Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2), they probably remember the scenes from Alan Parker’s Pink Floyd — The Wall, with the school children marching into the tunnel and being dropped into the meat grinder. However, the “official” video came out shortly before the release of the Parker film. It was directed by Gerald Scarfe, who was responsible for the film’s animated scenes. (Clips from Scarfe’s animation for The Trial and Waiting for The Worms are prominently featured in the video.) It also features the teacher puppet that was used whenever The Wall was performed in concert.
The children in the video are not the same children who sang on the track. The children on the track were all students at Islington Green School. When the track, with its chorus of “we don’t need no education/we don’t need no thought control,” was released, it proved to be so controversial that the head teacher at Islington Green forbade the students from performing the song on Top of The Pops and from appearing in the video. In fact, the members of the chorus heard in the song did not even receive any royalties from its success until 2004.
Enjoy!
