Post awesome/weird music videos
So yeah, post some music videos off youtube or whatever that are either weird or cool or are really good songs, preferably all 3. If you can't view the embedded videos then check your profile and make sure that HTML is always enabled. Here are some that I like (videos aside, most of these songs have been stuck in my head at various times): First a couple from Mr. Scruff <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HQQH1yvef54"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HQQH1yvef54" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> (the next one has a bit more of a narrative I guess) <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CJQ2jKvPjHI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CJQ2jKvPjHI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> Junior Senior - Move Your Feet (you've probably seen this one, still awesome): <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OKcDa0Kp2K8"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OKcDa0Kp2K8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> Dub Pistols - Problem Is. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5EfPLaKgrdU"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5EfPLaKgrdU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> (basing an entire video around one throw away lyric in the song seems pretty weird, but the song is cool) Most people have seen the Sledgehammer video by Peter Gabriel but if you haven't... <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VArQABogDL4"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VArQABogDL4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> I normally hate rap but the Pharcyde are one of the few groups I can tolerate.

Weird sunglasses, ridiculous hand gestures, 50's motif and a seizure inducing sax solo? This video has everything. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LodNpIo9z38"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LodNpIo9z38" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> Bonus video from them that isn't actually a music video, but is probably the best live performance of the Sesame Street theme mixed with a Henry Mancini tune that you've ever heard. For some reason I'm assuming that Nigel, moreso than anyone else, is already familiar with a lot of the more obscure ones here. I get the feeling they're more popular in England and Australia than they are here (STEREOTYPES WHAT). If I had to bet on which 3 videos Nigel has already seen (other than the obvious ones like Sledgehammer), I'd go with Mr. Scruff, Junior Senior (which is actually pretty popular here anyway), and Butterfly Ball. Anyway I know there are a ton of other interesting music videos out there so post them. They're always a good time waster.
