Music Video of the Day: Take A Picture by Chelsea Dash (2015, director unknown)


You know that the reason I picked this music video was because of the title.  It’s the same reason I picked yesterday’s music video of the day.  Take A Picture makes it sound like a song about photography and photography is my thing.

But no, this video is just about having your picture taken in a photo booth while acting like a ho.  Everyone’s done that but not many people have turned into a music video.  This video is five years old.  Are photo booths  even a thing anymore?  If you want to flash the camera now, you can do it in the privacy of your own home.

Technology’s a good thing.

Music Video of the Day: Take A Picture by Filter (1999, dir. by Dave Meyers)


I like this song because photography has always been my thing so when I hear “Take a picture,” that’s the same thought that I usually have in my head.

When I first saw this video, I thought that all the things that happened in it were things that the singer wished he could take a picture of.  Plus, because the band was called Filter, I really did think that this entire song was about someone who loved taking pictures.  Later I found out that the song was actually about getting drunk and needing someone to take a picture so you would be able to remember what you did in the morning.  I like my version better.
