Yeah it is. Lady Gaga was one of Bond's better postings and her album is awesome.

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

Can someone please please please explain how Lady Gaga and the above video is "awesome"? I just don't get why bad acting, bad music, bad production values and shameless advertising is good. Don't get me wrong, I think a lot of pop music is great, I just don't get the Gaga fascination. I normally like Beyonce songs, and I didn't even like her here.

The acoustic versions of Lady Gaga's songs were definitely a good find... but as far as this video goes, I actually have to agree with Germy. I really don't think it is that good of a video. The song makes absolutely no sense in relation to the video's plot.

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

They entertain me....like a hooker with one leg or tranny grannies. Some things just don't make sense!

I mostly just thought it was awesome because of 2 reasons:

1. The "I told you she doesn't have a dick" part. Apparently the video can be found without the blur, and you can actually see her completely normal vagina. Anyway this is the biggest gaga thing out there "She's a man I saw her dick" is commented on ever youtube video out there, and she addressed this, and I found it to be hilarious.

2. The Pussy Wagon from Kill Bill.

And yeah the video has nothing to do with the song, but surprise none of her videos have anything to do with her songs, they're always campy and off the wall.

To respond to Germy:

I really don't know why she's awesome either. Mostly her songs just get stuck in my head. I hear them at clubs constantly when I go out. I mean sometimes it's back-to-back gaga music, especially at gay clubs.

Gaga actually didn't get paid for a good portion of the product placement. Some were included sort of as Warholian homages to memories in her life or commentaries on society. Others were extensions of marketing deals with her tour, record label, etc.

Yup

Just wanted to clarify that.

Also, it's happening quite often nowadays and has happened in the past. See State Farm in the new OK Go music video

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

Yeah, I guess advertising in videos shouldn't be a surprise. The OK Go thing doesn't really interrupt the video at all though.

And hey, we've had songs on commercials, it's actually kept us afloat more than anything, so I guess I can't say much about it.

Thanks for clarifying though.

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

EDIT: I cannot stop watching this. Gets weird 50 secs in...and then just keeps getting weirder.

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

Speaking of OK Go - this is their other video for "This Too Shall Pass", while it's not as amazing as the other one - it's still pretty good considering. Embed is disabled. :ohreilly:

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

I can't find the higher quality videos, but Notre Dame's Marching band does awesome shit all the time. Yeah, leprechaun on the treadmill doin the dance? Fuck yeah. Assume this is why OK Go contacted them.

And yeah they did form the mushroom. :D

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

^ That was amazing. While searching more work by the Left Rights, I came upon this, which is just as sick

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

Like a bad trip after snorting ground up Lisa Frank school supplies.

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

NSFW

It gets......weird. Like Lovecraft type weird.

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

Kind of wish the music matched the video even a little bit instead of just being a background song.

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

I always liked this song and this video.

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

I find this music video quite hilarious.

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

I always liked this video, from a time when the Bloodhound Gang was actually pretty legit. The sampling in this song is just insane, but it works.

That is more Lovecraft than anything I've seen that wasn't actually written by Lovecraft. Do you have any other recommendations for this style? I find most that advertise "Lovecraft" type content generally don't go to the nth degree of horror like this video does. A good Lovecraft type story should make you question the point of existence. Not the point of YOUR existence, but the point of ANYTHING existing.:D

The Bloodhound Gang had a couple of really good songs. Aside from Mope, we had these brilliant gems:

And these next two....are probably in my top 100 catchiest songs of all time:

Quote:

The roof the roof the roof is on fire
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
Burn motherfucker burn
Hello my name is Jimmy Pop and I'm a dumb white guy
I'm not old or new but middle school fifth grade like junior high
So I don't know mofo if y'all peeps be buggin' give props to my ho
Cause she all fly
But I can take the heat cause I'm the other white meat known as 'Kid
Funky Fried'
Yea I'm hung like planet Pluto hard to see with the naked eye
But if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don't
Shine
Cause I'm kind of like Han Solo always stroking my own wookie
I'm the root of all that's evil yea but you can call me cookie
The roof the roof the roof is on fire
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
Burn motherfucker burn
Yo yo this hard-core ghetto gangster image takes a lot of practice
I'm not black like Barry White no I am white like Frank Black is
So if man is five and the devil is six than that must make me seven
This honkey's gone to heaven
But if I go to hell then I hope I burn well
I'll spend my days with J.F.K., Marvin Gaye, Martha Raye, and Lawrence
Welk
And Kurt Cobain, Kojak, Mark Twain and Jimi Hendrix's poltergeist
And Webster yea Emmanuel Lewis cause he's the anti-Christ
The roof the roof the roof is on fire
We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn
Burn motherfucker burn
Everybody here we go
Ohh Ohh
C'mon party people
Ohh Ohh
Throw your hands in the air
Ohh Ohh
C'mon party people
Ohh Ohh
Wave 'em like you don't care
Ohh Ohh
C'mon party people
Ohh Ohh
Everbody say ho
Ohh Ohh
C'mon party people
Ohh Ohh
Everybody here we go

And I spent two days memorizing the lyrics to this song. :D

Quote:

Sweat, baby, sweat, baby sex is a Texas drought me
and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about
So put your hands down my pants and I'll bet you'll feel nuts
Yes, I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up
You've had enough of two-hand touch, you want it rough, you're out of bounds
I want you smothered, want you covered, like my Waffle House hash browns
Come quicker than Fed Ex, never reaching apex like Coca-Cola stock you are
inclined to make me rise an hour early just like Daylight Savings Time

[Chorus]
(Do it now)
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
(Do it again now)
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
(Gettin' horny now)

Love, the kind you clean up with a mop and bucket
Like the lost catacombs of Egypt, only God knows where we stuck it
Hieroglyphics? Let me be Pacific, I want to be down in your South Seas
But I got this notion that the motion of your ocean, means "small craft
advisory"
So if I capsize in your thighs, high tide, be -5, you sunk my battle ship
Please turn me on, I'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip
So show me yours I'll show you mine "Tool Time", you'll Lovett just like
Lyle
And then we'll do it doggie style so we can both watch X-Files

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

Gonna toot my own horn here, but I think our new music video is pretty good!

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

That was pretty kick ass.

Re: Kick Ass Music Video Thread

Our friend Phil did some amazing hand-drawn animation for a video that NPR premiered yesterday.
