Music Video of the Day: Do You? by Rebecca Black (2019, dir by Bia Jurema)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

There’s a music video out there for a song called “This is Thanksgiving.”  I was originally going to share it because it’s one of those videos that’s regularly cited as being one of the worst ever made.  However, I changed my mind because a lot of the comments that I saw underneath the video were extremely mean-spirited and seemed to be personally attacking the girl who sang the song, as if it was her fault that some creepy old man wrote a bad song and directed a crappy video.

Anyway, that got me thinking about Rebecca Black, who was the subject of a lot of unfair ridicule over Friday.  The good thing about Rebecca’s story, however, is that she didn’t give up and she’s continued to perform and most of her post-Friday stuff isn’t bad at all.

In fact, here’s the video for Do You?, performed by Rebecca Black.

Music Video of the Day: Jeff Goldblum by Mattiel (2021, dir by ????)

Who else could inspire such loyalty?

Actually, though, the song itself isn’t about Jeff Goldblum.  It’s about about someone who is a “little like a younger Jeff Goldblum.”  The video, however, is all about Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis.

Music Video of The Day: A Good Song Never Dies by Saint Motel (2021, dir by Darina Su)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today is my birthday so here is a video for my favorite song from my favorite band! According to Saint Motel’s YouTube channel, this is “Official Fan Video,” for A Good Song Never Dies, which I’m going to assume makes it different from the official band video. Well, no matter! It’s a great song and a good video.

And, it’s true, you know. A good song never dies!

Music Video of the Day: SuperLove by Charli XCX (2013, dir by Ryan Andrews)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

With the world’s eyes currently on Tokyo and the Summer Olympics, it only seems appropriate that today’s music video of the day should be one that was filmed in Tokyo. In SuperLove, Charli XCX explores Japan’s capital. This video was directed by Ryan Andrews, who was also responsible for directing several other music videos for Charli XCX, as well as directing the 2012 horror film, Elfie Hopkins.

Music Video of the Day: Don’t Go Yet by Camila Cabello (2021, dir by Philippa Price and Pilar Zeta)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today’s music video of the day is the latest from Camila Cabello. I like the opening of this video, with obvious rear projection being used to make it appear as if Camila’s driving. I also liked the sight of that miniature car pulling up to the house. The best videos are the ones that seem to take place in their own parallel universe and that’s certainly the case with this one.

Music Video of the Day: Progress by Public Service Broadcasting (2017, dir by Lucy Dawkins and Tom Readdy)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

This song is from Public Service Broadcasting’s third album, Every Valley. Every Valley came out after The Race For Space first introduced a lot of us to this wonderful British band. Every Valley definitely deserves to be better known, as does the group itself. So, to do my little bit to help out, I’m proud to make this today’s music video of the day!

Enjoy!
