J.D. Souther is the only one of these soulless miscreants I would've allowed to fuck me, after which I'd cry and write a ballad for Linda Ronstadt.

The only way Glenn Frey would touch me is if he raped me, but when I tried to sue him he dispatched Irving Azoff to take care of me. I wrote "You're No Good" soon afterwards.

When I was a kid, I had a monster truck video that had a bunch of 'music videos' set to footage of monster truck and related stuff (motorcross, tractor pulls, demolition derbies etc.). Among the tracks were "Manic Mechanic" by ZZ Top, "Slippin' and Slidin'" by Willy & The Poorboys (Honeydrippers knock-off w/Paul Rodgers) & "Better In The USA" by Mr. Frey. Sadly, none of it is on youtube.

haha, i remember those weird fake music videos nearly every entity would come up w/ - disney had them (i think the disney channel even had a show called 'disney rocks' or whatever that was just old donald duck shorts chopped up and vaguely matched up to various motown songs. the nba would put out videos of just highlights that we'd just watch over and over w/ similar half assed 'music videos', watched this one the other night - http://youtu.be/ospDD4fXeYE. somehow have ZERO memories of those pepsi ads or of 'better in the usa' period.

jesus man we're always on the same wavelength. I associate "Private Eyes," "Every Breath You Take," and "Mickey" with those Disney montages.
― first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 6 September 2013 00:37 (eleven years ago) link
I'd rather listen to "The Warrior" than most anything by the Eagles. Ditto for the Pepsi jingle.

Xpost In his singles book, Dave Marsh claimed the Disney vid for "Uptight" to be one of the best and most effective videos he'd seen. It starred Donald Duck.

i used to HATE those disney music videos so much, i can remember we had this 'music class' in fifth grade and the teacher would get sick of hearing us play frere jacques w/ our recorders or whatever and be like 'alright kids yall want to watch some music videos' and i'd be like 'GOD YES' and then it'd be some disney rocks garbage and i'd be like 'the fuck is this, put on some ratt'. i think for like the first two years 30% of the videos they'd show on vh1 were like stock footage montage videos for old ccr and young rascals and turtles hits. it outraged me then (maybe my earliest budding of corny indie fuxxor, coinciding w/ the onset of puberty), now i find it hilarious and charming and seek out crap like this on youtube - http://youtu.be/Kc-ixsyq9mk .

One of the greatest music videos I've ever seen was a Disney cartoon featuring Donald Duck in a jealous rage because Daisy was being wooed by some mallard Lothario. Set to "Uptight," the video winds up with Donald in a total spitting frenzy as Daisy and her new beau enter a tunnel of love. What makes it so exciting isn't Donald's lunacy but the wildness of Stevie's music, the pure surge of magical Motown mechanics: cutting guitar, rolling bass, and thundering drums augmented by braying brass. Stevie, all of fifteen years old, sputters almost as incoherently as Donald. It took me about fifteen years to figure out that he was singing "Got empty pockets, you see, I'm a poor man's son," because he sings the whole line as if it was one word. And he pushes that hard for almost the whole song; there are other lines here that will never be translated, because he might as well be speaking in tongues that only he and that adrenalin addict playing drums could ever hope to comprehend.On the other hand, some things require no translation. Like that nasty little Donald-like laugh--"Ah ha ha, hah"----Stevie cuts loose at the end. It perfectly prefigures Johnny Rotten at the beginning of "Anarchy in the U.K."Stevie does want some things to be understood, so he slows down just enough to let his motto slide home: "She says no one is better than I / And I know, I'm just an average guy." Like hell.

i think for like the first two years 30% of the videos they'd show on vh1 were like stock footage montage videos for old ccr and young rascals and turtles hits
Don't forget the "new videos" for old songs w/actors, models, and a vague storyline. Behold this Mad Max meets Brazil meets Michelob ad clip for "Wishing Well" by Free (which--and scott will back me up on this--owns over any track in this threads official listening rotation):

Nothing about that Pepsi ad seemed familiar, but as soon as that DJ dropped that can of Pepsi onto the turntable, it all came back with a vengeance.
Also remember Donald Duck videos to "Do You Love Me" and "Expressway to Your Heart". Good times, thanks for the memories, Glenn, Don and Donald.

crazy to think that some weird 'new video' for an old free track (not even an ACTIVE band at the time! it's not like aerosmith making a 'sweet emotion' vid to promote a box set and serve as a stopgap promotion of the brand) had a much larger budget than say the video for 'blurred lines'. sheena easton looking babe is kinda smoking.

This is great, I like the way the bassline shifts around. Nice use of stereo too, keeping the backing on the two channels entirely separate. Otherwise it might be entirely standard for banjo music for all I know - the only other track I know is Foggy Mountain Breakdown and it's quite like this - but it's fast, moves around a lot, tonally, and I like it. So much more alive than yesterday's rubbish.
