1 of the 10 thrilling channels that our little TV gets is called "The Chart Channel". It is what MTV used to be: music videos 24/7. This was amusing for the first couple days, and arguably is still good for background noise, but one can only stand seeing the same music videos so many times. A majority of the songs are also the ones that they play on repeat on KDWB back in Minnesota, some are big up and coming UK artists, and ALL of them are fantastically mockable. So with out further ado, I present my Top 8 Favorite Music Videos Of General Awesomeness Count Down!
8. Coming in at #8 is Kickstart by the Examples. The plus to this one is that it's so much better then the band's other song that also frequents The Chart Channel! And, it's pretty creative. The appearance of the ride on horse toy always cracks me up!
Kickstarts
7. So Creepy. So Catchy.
I Was Drunk
6. Double-Dutch hasn't been depicted as this bad-ass since Sesame Street.
Gold Dust
5. And the award to the song that is in my head the most HAS to go to this little diddy. The whole "emerging from a suitcase" thing though is a little strange, yet convenient.
Pack Up
4. There's a ninja with a keytar.
Stop Giving Me Choices
3. 'Hmm, well this is a pretty catchy tune....dumdadadumdada...'k, some artsy pans of city life, band's sporting the trendy hungover look.......wait...wait, hold on! Is that Emma Watson?!......well, that's just weird. I mean, she's dressed like some model and being chased/lead around by this dude now......oh look, and know he just ran around a corner store. manly......................................WTF!?!? DID HE JUST LICK HER!???!
yeah, it's pretty great. And if you're wondering about the dogs, I have no idea.
Say You Don't Want It
2. It was a close run for first, but take condolence in the fact that if this was showchoir we could call this one "first runner up" and confuse everyone :D
We No Speak Americano
1. And now, Apartment 11's song of the semester: All Time Low, by The Wanted! Playing with flares in an abandoned warehouse. Genius.
All Time Low
Hope you enjoyed a little taste of Ireland and the UK's topnotch music. Apparently, you can switch your i-Tunes store's country setting, a helpful hint, that will allow you to browse all of Ireland and the UK's up and coming music, and look at actual Music Charts!
That baby with the mustache is so WEIRD. And the Emma Watson one: WTF? I spent most of it trying to figure out if Emma was some hooker he picked up, and then maybe they were really dogs? What?
ReplyDeleteI also like that the Wanted still thinks it's "cool and happening" to be a boy band in 2010. The song's pretty good, but the video is giving me some 90s flashbacks, though the flares are cool.
