Movie Music Video Thursday!

May. 13, 2010

Today we celebrate videos from movie soundtracks. Think Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” now quickly do a mind eraser before she burrows further in to your brain.

We know there are many more gems out there that just beg to be seen again. Please post your favorite movie inspired videos in the comments and we’ll be back next week with another round.

Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough by Cydi Lauper, submitted by Dave

Movie: Goonies

I recently watched the DVD version of the Goonies and included in the special features was a music video. It is honestly the most non-sensical and wierdest video I have ever seen. I wanted to look a way, but it was too intriguing not to.

First of all, you’re welcome.
This is as confusing as Lost, but with a much better payoff.

On Our Own by Bobby Brown, submitted by Lodea Dodea

Movie: Ghostbusters II

Spoiler alert! If you don’t want to hear the entire plot of Ghostbusters II, you should probably take our your headphone now. Although, how can you miss cameos by the 80s best and brightest? I mean, it has The Donald! Bruce Jenner! Sadly, this is the pinnacle of Bobby’s career. If asked what does Bobby do now, the answer is crack.

p.s. Try to battle my boys? That’s not legal.

She’s Like The Wind by Patrick Swayze Featuring Wendy Fraser, submitted by Berg

Movie: Dirty Dancing

This video that makes us feel like we’re watching it through a waterbed.

R.I.P. Swayze.

Legs by ZZ Top, submitted by QuoteMan

Fuel for every girls makeover fantasies, not to mention leg fetishists.

Africa by Toto, submitted by TheBerg

Not just an eclectic karaoke hit, this video has a hook that is made for your morning shower.

Camouflage by Stan Ridgeway, submitted by CosmykDolfyn

If they had made this into a comic book, I would have given up X-Men…FOREVER!

Strong words from CosmykDolfyn, but this band does spin a good yarn. Almost better than cat’s cradle.

Are You Ready For The Sex Girls by Gleaming Spires, submitted by wyatt

Sorry, but I’m tired of the recent pedestrian choices.

Nothing like a man doing housework to get us all hot and bothered!

Close My Eyes Forever by Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne, submitted by CosmykDolfyn

When I showed this to my younger cousin, he asked me which one was Ozzy and which one was Lita Ford…Stupid young people.

Posse On Broadway by Sir Mix A Lot, submitted by feckless

This video rules if only for the awesome old school limo. When I sent this video to my cousin, she thought it was about Theater. Lulz.

Mar. 25, 2010

As always,  leave your requests for next Thursday in the comments.

The Look of Love by ABC, submitted by BergAlert, who loves a man with a giant alphorn

This is the most insane zoo/fairground ever. Are clowns, marionettes and wet paint the look of “avant-garde” or insanity?

Owner of a Lonely Heart by YES

Lonely no longer, this video takes me back…to that time I spontaneously transformed in to a monkey.

Japanese Girl by Max Him

Oh my the outfits in this video. There is no need to say more.

And just because we love you, here’s Just a Friend by Biz Markie the literal version. Let’s just say it features “ShamWow”. You’re welcome.
