The Vids Are Alright

Music videos past and present

About:

I love music videos - watching them, writing about them and making my own on extremely limited budgets. Great videos are part of the reason I like pop music.

I know this blog has a rubbish name but to be honest you're all lucky I didn't call this something like 'Video Filled The Internet Fnar'.

Disclaimer:

Unfortunately some record companies don't like other people embedding their videos in order to give them more publicity, so I apologise on their behalf if any of the videos I post are no longer available.

Feel free to go to Youtube.com and complain about this daft precedent (or just search for the video there instead).

Victoria Beckham ft Dane Bowers - Out Of Your Mind.

“This tune’s gonna punish you!” Aw bless Vicky’s little Versace cotton socks, she tried so hard to be edgy but as we all know she got beaten to the top spot by someone even posher than Posh.

Just compare her dancing skills to her efforts just four years previous. Look how far she’s come! Queen Vic has mastered lasers and technology and is paving the way for T-Pain’s entire career with her Sparky’s Magic Piano vocoder.

Conversely, Dane ‘I’m just big boned’ Bowers is having problems wrestling with his new Beckham-branded Satnav:

“Turn. Left. After. 400. Metres.”

“I can’t turn left! There’s a bald-headed baddie down there! I think he might be the boss of Telstar records wanting his budget back!”

“Reverse. Reverse. Reverse.”

“Do you mean re-re-wind? Look I AM NOT CRAIG DAVID no matter how hard I try…

(I’ll be posting up more songs from 2000 over the next few weeks as part of my Decade Of Pop)

Groove Armada - Drop The Tough

Slightly pedestrian offering from GA (a whiff of Tom Tom Club that veers off course into Ting Tings Territory) but a very cool video - infinitely better than the last one. Just think how much bad luck they’d have if they broke all those mirrors?
