Music Video of the Day: Busy Child by The Crystal Method (1997, dir by ????)

Posted on June 2, 2018 by Lisa Marie Bowman

“I guess I didn’t know…”

The song is a classic with the famous “I guess I didn’t know” sampled by Eric B & Rakim’s Know the Ledge and the “Get busy, child!” created with the help of DJ Pierre’s track, Summertime (Is Get Busy Time). The song first appeared on Vegas, which is why the video itself opens with footage of Nevada’s best known city. (Sorry, Carson City!)

There were two versions of this video. One version was directed by Lance Bangs and Eli Bonerz. The second version, which was released to capitalize on Busy Child‘s use on the soundtrack of 1998’s Lost In Space, was directed by Clark Eddy. To be absolutely honest, I’m not sure which version this is. I suspect that it’s the first one, if just because of the lack of clips from Lost In Space.

If you haven’t danced to this song, you haven’t danced.

Enjoy!

Song of the Day: High Roller (performed by the Crystal Method)

Posted on March 19, 2011 by Lisa Marie Bowman

A few days ago, I used to the song of the day feature to highlight the Crystal Method’s Trip Like I Do. And in that post, I mentioned that Trip Like I Do makes me drive too fast. Well, there’s another song off of the Crystal Method’s Vegas CD that I always make it a point to listen to while driving and that is High Roller. If Trip Like I Do makes me slam down on the accelerator, High Roller makes me slow down and watch the world collapse around me.

(Clicking on the video below will redirect you to YouTube and the acual song. I apologize for that — usually, I hate elitist, communistic bullshit like that but I really like this song.)
