The DWB Music Video of the Day

[The Swigg Lebowski]

I can't say I blame you. That song is so over played its reaching "Thong Song" levels

[JimBob Skeeter]

I remember when this remake came out thinking it was one of the rocking best things I had ever heard. Saw it on cable three months ago......my reaction wasn't quite the same.

[Erick Von Erich]

What was the #1 song on this day (July 10) back in...

2002 - Nelly- "Hot in Herre"

Hey, a song from 2002 I've actually heard. And don't forget that extra "R".

1992- Sir Mix-a-Lot- "Baby Got Back"

The fiance's karaoke jam. Apparently this is now labeled as "I Like Big Butts" on YouTube, since people can't figure out the actual name of the song.

1982- The Human League -"Don't You Want Me"

I always thought this came out in 1983 or 1984. Regardless, it still bugs me.

PRE-VIDEO ERA:
1972 - Bill Withers- "Lean on Me"

1962- David Rose- "The Stripper"

[Erick Von Erich]

Just to politely bump over Rowe's "SHUFFLE ALL" post (ain't I a stinker), here's the #1 song on this day (Aug 22) in decades past:

2002- Nelly featuring Kelly Rowland- "Dilemma"

My comments from previous 2002 posts remain.

Eh...all I know about Rowland is: "she's the other girl not-named-Beyonce from their group" and that Clinton Portis once gave an interview talking about the crush he had on her.

1992- Boyz II Men- "End of the Road"

This will remain #1 for the next three months or so.

I find it humorous that Boyz II Men still pop up at the random festival nowadays. But shouldn't they just be known as "Men", now?

1982- Survivor- "Eye of the Tiger"

The video proves that guys in berets and dorks with glasses are BAD ASS. Note the "studio" they play in around 2:54 with the blowing garbage bag background! Say, is that the same place the Freebirds filmed "Badstreet USA?!"

This also tells us: 'oh, Rocky III must've come out that summer'. For my money, that's THE 80's movie.

I said it before, but if there's one thing this thread has confirmed to me, it's that 1982 was the year that kicked the 80's into gear.

PRE-VIDEO ERA------------

1972- Gilbert O'Sullivan- "Alone Again (Naturally)"
Old school performance video

1962- Neil Sedaka- "Breaking up is Hard to Do"

[SamoaRowe]

Gawd, even after all these years, I still hate Nelly.

I really liked Boyz II Men as a kid. Their II album was my first CD.

That Survivor song has a novelty to it, but I don't want to hear it more than one a month at most.

[Erick Von Erich]

#1 on this day, back in..

2002- Nelly-"Dilemma"

1992- Boyz II Men- "End of the Road"

1982- Steve Miller Band- "Abracadabra"


PRE-VIDEO ERA----
1972- Gilbert O'Sullivan- "Alone Again (Naturally)
It had been knocked out, for one week, by "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" by Looking Glass

1962- Tommy Roe- "Sheila"
(No relation to SamoaRowe.... or IS there?!)

[Erick Von Erich]

A somewhat lesser-know Queen tune. From 1991 and one of their last singles. I remember when I unexpectedly heard it on Z-Rock, early that year. A lot of folks were: "wha? Queen has a new song? Weird".



This was about a year before they a big comeback with Wayne's World. It's also one of the last appearances of Freddie Mercury, as he looks rather frail in the scenes shot in the sound studio/mixing board.

And yes, this came up on my iPod today. I would list all the songs I listen to so you can marvel at my eclectic selections, but they're really only of interest to me. We should have a thread for something like that.

[Erick Von Erich]

This is featured in "End of Watch"-- aka, the best cop movie since "Police Academy".

Public Enemy- "Harder Than You Think"


Talking about the movie and tune with my buddy: "Awesome. Public Enemy's cool and relevant again... waitsec ...(both of us in stereo): they were never NOT cool and relevant!"

[Erick Von Erich]

You were wondering, weren't you? Okay, then humor me...

#1's on this day back in...

2002- Kelly Clarkson- "A Moment Like This"
(sorry...I'm not looking this one up)

But, CRAP, it's been 10 years since Kelly Clarkson first invaded pop radio with her constant YELLING?

1992- Boyz II Men- "End of the Road"
Crushing the hopes and dreams of any song to oppose it! Moowahahaha!

1982- John Cougar- "Jack and Diane"


There are still numerous lyrics I can't make out. "Hey there Diane, you got a rump that freezy..."

1972- Mac Davis- "Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me"

1962- The Four Seasons- "Sherry"

[Erick Von Erich]

It's time for "The Old Theme From Saturday's Night Main Event".

Oh yes. You must not look away. You WILL watch this!

Animotion- "Obsession"


When the chick sings, the lyrics are incredibly creepy.

Why is there a guitarist in this band?

[Erick Von Erich]

Oh you poor bastards.. I mean, you lucky dogs... it's #1's on this day back in..

2002- Eminem - Lose Yourself

Now a GM commercial! Strange, but Eminem is almost "old school" nowadays. I wasn't a fan of this song until I made out with some chick in a club while it was playing. Then I thought: "I don't like Eminem, but that song's kinda' neat".

1992- Whitney Houston- IIIIIIIII Will Always Love Youuuuuuu
Sorry, not looking it up. Boyz II Men's reign was finally ended a few weeks earlier by...The Heights- "How Do You Talk to an Angel". Whitney took over two weeks later and will continue her reign of terror for a few more months.

1982- Toni Basl- Mickey

Yes, I'm including the DIRECTOR'S CUT. I have no clue what that entails.

1972- Hellen Reddy- I am Woman

Yup. Includes the famous line: "I am woman, hear me roar". Yay, feminism.

1962- The Four Seasons - Big Girls Don't Cry

[Erick Von Erich]

#1 on this day, back in..

2002- Eminem- "Lose Yourself"

1992- Whitney Houston- "I Will Always Love You"

1982- (Daryl) Hall & (John) Oates- "Maneater"


1972- Billy Paul- "Me and Mrs. Jones"


1962- The Tornados- "Telstar"
Instrumental, sorta' like THe Ventures, but a little more 60's. If that makes sense.

[Erick Von Erich]

Threw away on old VHS tape from 1994; with videos I liked and some outtakes from MTV, Late Show and other crap.

Forgot all about this video and song:
Motorhead w/ Ice-T and Whitfield Crane (Ugly Kid Joe)


and this one, too:
Helmet- "Wilma's Rainbow"

[Erick Von Erich]

Adding Rowe's "Elimination Chamber" review made me think of this:



The chorus is high-larious and the "EEEE" from the lead singer always cracks me up.

I'd put Overkill with bands like Exodus, Testament and Metal Church. Thrash/speed metal bands that came after the "Big Four" (at least in the public's eye), but never really made it big. They always seemed to be an opening act or triple-billed with other bands.

[Erick Von Erich]

Heard this, today, and it may be my favorite Tom Petty song.
