Post a funny/odd music video.
I humbly submit the "WTF?"/genuinely laugh-out-loud "Touch the Sky," by Kanye West feat. rapper Lupe Fiasco. Apparently Evil Knievel tried to sue Kanye after this was released. Not to mention the opening shots, parodying the '70s cop/whatever shows, are funny, as well as the random interlude with the reporter.

"Baby, I'm going on an aeroplane, and I dunno when I'll be back again...."

1. Ozzy Osbourne and Jake E. Lee "shreds"
Circa 1984 tour footage overdubbed with horrible, cheesy guitar playing in time with Jake E. Lee. The guy who does this has done many, but I think this is the funniest one of all (BTW: you MUST stay with the video all the way to the end - the de-tuning section is absolutely brilliant).

11. Just saw that last night. It's INCREDIBLY funny.
The clapping by Ozzy makes the clip.

2. Reg Kehoe & His Marimba Queens - A Study In Brown
http://youtube.com/watch?v=DANkec2NY4w&mode=related&search=

Watch-out for that crazy bass player. I think he invented crack.

3. 30 years before AC/DC, that bassist was channeling Angus Young
As a bassist, I admire his er, enthusiasm, but, even for that video, it was a bit over the top.

5. Did I just see what I think I just saw?...please wear a helmet!
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 03:52 PM by ElsewheresDaughter
George Michael meets Michael Jackson and they become one in this psychedelic Indian version of I'm Bad meets The Hills Are Alive With The Sound of Music. I think I just suffered some kind of permanent brain damage watching this...but it was fun, in a Timothy Leary meets Ram Dass for a Rave sort of way.

Oh.... with a touch of Grease thrown in too.

The singer/dancer guy is Prabhu Deva, a big sensation in India. I think I love him. :loveya:

31. I enjoyed the psilodump. Nice blend of glitch, industrial, and IDM.
Do you remember the band and song name- there was a video of a song built from sounds generated by insects, and audio representations of other things, such as a propellor seed falling, and each visual was in its own area... It was well-known a while back and I can't recall for the life of me...

My submission, "Horse Girl" by These Arms Are Snakes. Just fuckin' weird.

Oh, and "The New Black" by Every Time I Die is pretty funny.

9. I submit a 90's lesser-known band....
The Candyskins "Wembley"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJqIfKGA3FA


Madonna's sex book had been out for a bit, and I'm pretty sure the "Tighty-Whitey" guy hitchiking in the Hollywood hills is in reference to that. I don't know why, but his antics and the goofy glasses make me laugh.

LOVE the song, too. Good bone-headed 3-chord rock song.
