'real version' remakes of some early MTV videos

[thrihyrne]

I'm hooked. I admit it; I became a fan of doing laundry in 7th grade solely because my mom said I could watch MTV if -- and only if -- I was folding laundry. Some of these literal remakes are genius and show just how awful some of the original videos were. This one, of Billy Idol's White Wedding, I have to embed. In fall of '83, I was the last one in my household to go to school. My sister and brother went off, and my mom went off to grad school. Once I had the house to myself, I would illicitly turn on MTV and then call my then-best friend, Kelly Killingsworth, with whom I shared a birthday, when this video came on.

Yes, it's Thev trivia. And the literal remakes are glorious camp. Any others born around 1970 or thereabouts... welcome to parodies of our early adolescence.

Okay, I hear your 1970's-born call for embarrassing moments of our youth that we -then- thought were the best since sliced bread: I give you the Sisters of Mercy's Dominion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWvOHT0zfXY), quite possibly the most useless vid ever made, also an atrocious abuse of the fair and miraculous city of Petra. :)

Also: there's stuff in the mail! I hope they don't expedit it by drunken seahorse this time.

Also: now that I'm seeing my icon. Seems I have retained a penchant for stupid bastards in white suits, even in my dotage. *-* (and hello, think Draco in a white suit. Think Draco in a white suit in Petra. *coughcoughcough*)

Yay!! Stuff in the mail! And hopefully not delivered via drunken seahorse.:P

David Byrne, anyone? Man in a large white suit?

I'll imagine Draco in a white suit. Except I'm not writing him right now; I'm sadly Draco-less.

((cuddles and clings))

Help! help! It's 20:54 on a bank holiday and I am still at work! Argh! My time management is sorely lacking.

Yeah, David Byrine, I hear you; although Byrne's not exactly my type. *g*

Sadly Draco-less? Woe! Noe! We'll have to amend that.
