If you don’t have tears running from your eyes from laughing at this, then I pity you for not having a sense of humor.
The singer was a musician by the name of Steve Mauldin and apparently, this was just some messing around late at night and never intended for the public. Even so, thank you, Mr. Mauldin for giving us some unintentional Christmas cheer during a time when people are fighting the “war on Christmas”, pushing and shoving each other over a toy, and we get to feeling stabby after our co-workers play “The Christmas Shoes” one too many times.

Obscure Music Video of the Week 10/28/2010

After a few weeks’ hiatus (because I was on vacation and I couldn’t find any obscure songs), Obscure Music Video of the Week is back.
This week’s video is for the song What About Me? by the band Moving Pictures
This is one of those songs I remember because it was played on the radio at the time when I discovered and really got into popular music. Starting when I was in the 7th grade, Sunday nights were spent glued to my radio, listening to America’s Top 40 with Casey Kasem. I would listen to the music, write whatever was on my mind, and imagine. Music has been my salvation during some of the rougher times of my life and this song reminds me of the time when I discovered the joys of music.

What do you get when you cross a 60s musical sitcom with one of the worst movies ever made?
This little gem.

Today’s installment of your Cheesy 80s Music Video Monday features the 1982 Diana Ross song Muscles.
Watch Diana Ross writhe around in her granny nightgown in the gayest video since Olivia Newton John’s Let’s Get Physical.
Maybe it’s just me, but I would rank intelligence, loyalty, and sense of humor way before muscles.

When I hear a Rolling Stones song, I automatically think of women's deoderant
Because I watched a 1973 commercial for Soft & Dri Deoderant featuring a voice over with Casey Kasem, You Tube thinks I should watch a video for The Rolling Stone’s Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker).
Really, You Tube? What does Mick Jagger have to do with women’s deodorant? What does this song even have to do with deodorant? The lyrics talk about some sad and gritty subjects (drug use being one of them), but I don’t recall pitting out your shirt or people offended by the nasty funk you are emitting from your armpits being one of them.
Casey Kasem hosted America’s Top 40 and played quite a few Rolling Stones songs in his day, but Casey Kasem did a lot of other things and I don’t see You Tube recommending I watch a particular episode of Scooby Doo because I watched an old deoderant commercial.
Just because two things happened in the same decade doesn’t mean they are even remotely related.
Cheesy 80′s Video Monday-Go For Soda

I know this is a repost, but the fromage is strong with this one.
This is one of those songs that you would hear at a middle school dance and would cause everyone to run out to the dance floor because your fifteen year old taste in music thought this song was cool. Whatever cool this song has is negated by the hilariously awful music video. I’m not even sure if the creators were serious, joking or high when they came up with the concept. This video broaches Star Wars Holiday Special levels of bad.

I didn’t know they had color film or were working on color film in 1922.
I love looking at old, old pictures, and old, old films, especially old daguerreotypes, tintypes, and early, early movies. This is just fascinating.
Obscure Music Video of the Week-9/23/10

Your obscure music video of the week and lesson in early computer animation is Will Powers Adventures in Success from 1983.
I remember that around this time, there was a music video show that aired in the mornings on a cable channel whose name I do not remember and is probably no longer in existence. This video was on heavy rotation on that show. I think it also aired on USA’s Night Flight, too. Before my local cable company added MTV to their line up, this unnamed and now defunct cable channel’s music show was how I got my fix of Duran Duran videos until the weekends (where I would watch Friday Night Videos on NBC and Night Tracks on TBS).
I always remembered this video because of the semi-creepy rotating faces chanting “It’s you…only you” and “Make it habit, make it happen.” If they were trying to re-create an indoctrination, then they definitely succeeded.
They Said...
