More music videos
Feb. 4th, 2007 11:15 pmIn the historically-themed category, we have: "Everywhere," by Fleetwood Mac, the video of which depicts events in Noyes's "The Highwayman." It is fabulous.
They have another historical video, this one about the 1930s, with "Gypsy." The song is great, but all I remember after seeing it once is Stevie Nicks twirling around in a long dress under a soft focus lens, so you may just want to go listen to the song.
And apparently Annie Lennox can always be counted on to do something bizaare. To wit: "Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)". I'll just back away slowly before she kills me with a knitting needle...
Oh, 1980s, I love you for your strange, strange we-took-too-many-drugs-in-the-70s-and-this-is-what-happenedness...
Speaking of that, I took a stroll through the toy aisles at Target yesterday, and found that every single toy from my 1980s and 90s childhood has apparently come back into fashion.* And half of them have come back in horrible mishapen forms--particularly My Little Ponies and the Littlest Pet Shop creatures, who have new forms that are all rounded and bulbous and kind of creepy, quite frankly. I wonder if their designers took too many drugs.
Does this have something to do with the sudden resurgence of interest in leggings and flannel I've seen lately? I feel that it might.
* Except for the Popples. I can't find evidence of them anywhere.
