It's a simple idea. Each day, I post a different music video. Sometimes it's a good song with a bad video, sometimes it's a bad song with a good video, sometimes, well, they both may suck. Either way, enjoy!
American Hi-Fi hit their stride in the early 2000's with a sound like Bowling For Soup... fun rock with an occasional serious side. This song, was their serious side. The video? Still fun.
The video is a touching story of a Corn Dog who had it all, and lost it all. Enjoy "Another Perfect Day" by American Hi-Fi!
"Fire Escape" was Fastball's follow up single to their #1 smash "The Way," but this song got the better video. It's a cleverly done "One Shot" style video that's creepy as hell, and at the end, kind of funny with the "behind the scenes" look.
Yeah, I know I'm a little behind on the buzz for this song and video(s). But today, I literally didn't do anything before going to work. I sat on the couch, watched crappy daytime TV, and played with the dog I'm dogsitting. A perfect lazy day.
So how about the Lazy song?
There are two versions of this video. The first, a low-budget version with Bruno Mars and some uh... apes... dancing in front of what is supposed to be a webcam. This is actually nominated for an MTV VMA (they still exist?) for "Best Choreography."
Now, the alternate version that came out, I still don't know how they scored Leonard Nemoy for it. But it pretty much sums up a Lazy Day perfectly.
I'm house and dog-sitting for my buddy this week, so let's take the opportunity to play a "dog" video. And it's NOT "Who Let the Dogs Out."
Dog's Eye View formed in 1994 and struck it big in 1996 with their song "Everything Falls Apart" being all over radio and VH1. The video is simple, with the Good storyline and the bad storyline, but even in the end, the bad storyline is somewhat good.
Let's continue with this heat wave thing, mmmmkay?
Hot Chip have been banging out music since 2000, and in 2008, released "Ready For The Floor." They based the music video off of the first Tim Burton "Batman" movie. The characters go through different "games" and as they correctly complete them, their clothes get brighter and brighter. Or... well, they're um... out.
So. It's hot as balls outside. Simply put. And pretty much if you're reading this from somewhere within the United States, it's hot where you are too.
That being said, it seemed appropriate that I dig up a "Hot" video.
Hot Hot Heat have had their indie success for years now, with a splash of mainstream exposure here and there. In 2005, they released "Middle of Nowhere," which had this video. It's kind of "Lost"-esque. Is the lead singer in the same "time" as the rest of the people? Or did he go back in time, like half of the people on the island? Hmm.
Check it for yourself. Although since Warner Brothers Records doesn't allow embedding of their videos (asshats), you will have to CLICK HERE to watch the video.
