Music Video Monday – more videos

To get the taste of bad commercials out of my mouth, here’s some more music videos for your viewing-listening pleasure. Enjoy.

“He-Man: What’s Going On” – A classic that never loses its nerd flavored awesome. Break this out when you need a pick me up. Plus the Kid thought it was the most hilarious thing he’d ever seen. I think he might have peed a little from joy.

“Divinyls: I Touch Myself” – I don’t want anybody else. When I think about you I touch myself.

“Marcy Playground: Sex and Candy” – Like disco super fly. I smell sex and candy, yeah. Who’s that lounging in my chair?

“Lotion of the Lambs” – made from the song “Lotion” by the Greenskeepers. Creepy Silence of the Lambs parody song that’s too delicious not to at least listen to once.

“Linda Ronstadt: Blue Bayou” – The way she sings this song… it’s been a favorite of mine since the first time I ever heard her voice. Wonderful.

“The Bangles (Susanna Hoffs): Eternal Flame” – I love this song and the sound of her voice. “Am I only dreaming, or is this burning an eternal flame? Say my name. Sun shines through the rain.”

“Arden Cho: Eyes, Nose, Lips (Taeyang)” – Korean cover.

“Arden Cho: Let Her Go Passenger” – Another cover from Arden Cho. This is the first song I ever heard her sing.

Whew, slipped those just under the midnight wire. See you next Monday? Maybe.

Music Video Monday

I have no idea what they’re saying, but 2NE1 is still a favorite. As a whole, their group is awesome. I love love them.

The use of color and style in one of their videos is always fascinating. Plus they are all arresting on the screen. You get pulled right in.

“I Love You M/V”

“I Hate You M/V” – the cartoon music video. There’s a whole Korean anime story that happens. Sounds kind of like she’s saying “Hey Jude”, so that’s an added bonus

Why not throw a little “Big Bang: Fantastic Baby M/V” into the mix. It’s an epic eye journey that will change your life if you’ve never heard of Big Bang. “I want to dance dance dance dance dance.”

G-Dragon practically writes his own fanfiction. It’s amazeballs.

Though I’d really be more interested in girl-band stuff at the moment. I’m an admitted mm slash fan, but I get into some mostly gen pieces as well. (Buffy and Sakura are better as action characters to me than as get naked characters. Though it’s the same for most mm pairings as well. I’m a bit aromantic.)

“Go Away M/V” from 2NE1. She’s a race car driver that fell in love with a male driver and he dumped her for another girl. She goes a bit over the rails in not wanting to let him break up with her. Then he slaps her! She gets back up and shows him that she can do well without him.

There’s a whole amazing story happening in that video. Kind of Days of Thunder, but it’s a chick and she takes things way too far. It would have been better for her to just “go away,” but instead she killed everyone. Then she joined a four-woman group of angels seeking redemption.

That’s what that song was about, right? Otherwise I’m confused 😛

“Ugly” –
