| It has come to my attention that you might not know who Neil Tennant is.
That's kind of a shame.
VIDEO THE NINTH

0:10 - Throw your hands in the air and say, "Whooooooooooa!"
0:12 - Brad Pitt?
0:14 - Apparently on this amusement ride, you hallucinate future famous people!
0:15 - Like R.E.M.
0:17 - And Neil Tennant!
0:21 - ACK! I don't know what she's going into, but I'm glad I've never heard of her!
0:27 - If you're not having a seizure right now, your arms should still be in the air.
0:32 - BRAD!
0:36 - The hobo is the missing third member of the Pet Shop Boys.
0:38 - "Hey, hey Neil... hey, wait up..."

0:44 - Gasp! No! You didn't off Chris Lowe!
0:51 - Where it all went down...
0:55 - "That didn't help me any."
1:08 - As long as Chris Lowe has his mouth open, Neil Tennant makes noise.
1:20 - THE DARK KNIGHT AND ROBIN!
1:25 - Social... anxiety... attack...!

1:45 - "Uh. Neil. Neil, they're watching us."
1:51 - "Uh. They're... still there..."

| I'm back, as I have SPARE TIME!
Hooray!
You know what this means.
RIGHT out of 1980, two albums after Genesis (Would that make this Leviticus?), comes this not-so-bad (I'll
admit it: I really like Peter Gabriel),
but-you-know-I'll-make-fun-of-it anyway video...
VIDEO THE EIGHTH
Artist: Peter Gabriel
Song: Games Without Frontiers
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcET22g6In0
0:00 - I'm expecting a certain king by the name of Arthur, accompanied with coconuts.
0:02 - Or cowbells. That works too.
0:06 - Depression is a serious issue. Don't let it happen to you.
0:12 - Whoooo woke me uuuup?
0:15 - Peter Gabriel's morning face exercises!
0:18 - Baboon! William Hung! Arnold eats a lemon! Neil Tennant! Walrus! Ian Curtis! (Okay, that's enough!)
0:31 - The lights went out on this video just as they started filming!
0:35 - Watch where you shine that flash light...
0:38 - Oh, Peter Gabriel, your face is not that interesting.
0:48 - AND NOW HE HAS SPOOKY GHOST STORY!
0:50 - NO! HE BURNED THE FILM!
0:54 - This is the reason why Talking Heads has no video for "Psycho Killer". Peter Gabriel was too busy filming this.

1:00 - GET OUT OF THE BRONX!
1:09 - We're still having power difficulties - hold on to that flashlight...
1:14 - Behold, a Model United Nations conference!
1:21 - Yeah, I'd like to see you get up on that pole, missy.
1:34 - Sorry, Mr. Gabriel, they're not listening to you!
1:37 - "Every time I climb this pole, it keeps on falling oveeeeeeer..."
1:41 - She stinks up the air?
1:43 - "NO!"
1:46 - She's so funky now?
1:49 - "IT'S FRENCH!"
1:52 - She's so popular?
1:53 - Well, she is.
1:55 - Main screen turn on.
1:56 - It's you!
2:03 - Subliminal raspberry!
2:07 - Subliminal Gabriel regrets doing that.
2:09 - Subliminal Gabriel says this video is serious business.
2:12 - So he gives you another raspberry.
2:16 - Peter Gabriel, I do not care how skinny you are at this time, you do NOT look good in a leotard.
2:19 - The significance of the babies in the background is further emphasized by Mr. Gabriel's man boobs.
2:28 - If you blow out all your candles, you get a wish!
2:31 - He looks especially angry here because he got censored.*
2:37 - HE GOT SHOT!
2:44 - Texas is in your parades, stealing your monies...
2:49 - Still not listening!
2:51 - "How do you think my nails look, Mr. Gabriel?"
2:55 - Richard Nixon's lovechild with a Hindu god breaks loose!
3:02 - Pie throwing. It's all fun until someone gets it in the face.
3:05 - I guess they didn't get out of the Bronx?
3:07 - Pee Wee Herman gloats at the destruction.
3:11 - Shoot, that face is even creepier than the William Hung one!
3:15 - "SO HUNGRY!"
3:16 - Peter Gabriel spontaneously combusts out of hunger!
3:20 - Pixie dust, pixie dust... now...
3:23 - "FLY!"
3:25 - That girl can not only talk with her hands - but also her necklace!
3:29 - "AAAAH! Richard Nixon's love child has gone out of control!"
3:31 - I'm sorry, I'm not that happy to see you.
3:35 - Nuclear baby holocaust destroys the videooooooo!
3:41 - Someone needs to tell Kate Bush that she's saying it wrong.
* Apparently, some people got offended with peeing on raccoons who live in the jungle.
So sorry it's been so long.
Enjoy.

| I might just make this a "whenever I feel like making fun of videos" thing instead of a daily thing.
No feedback = no reads, and well. If I'm not writing for an audience, I'm doing it for myself.
Now, if there was an audience...

| As promised... I will make up for the lack of videos.
TODAY WE HAVE A THEME DAY!
IT'S...
VILLAGE PEOPLE DAY!
YAY!
VILLAGE VIDEO NUMBER ONE
Song: San Francisco
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7ejQTSq9_M (So sorry for the poor quality. In some cases, it's better that way.)
0:00 - 0:07 - You can totally skip this. I usually try to avoid little adverts like these...
0:08 - The Village People invested in their own bar!
0:10 - And their own bling...
0:14 - SOMEONE HAS KILLED THE VILLAGE PEOPLE! THEIR GHOSTS ARE OUT TO HAUNT US WITH A DANCE ROUTINE!
0:27 - That indian looks a bit too excited to be there.
0:28 - Happy Days!
0:32 - What's that construction worker looking at?
0:37 - Cycles around the light, blinding the camera person...
0:44 - I'll be honest, I want that lead guy's pants. Girls look awesome with stuff like that on.
0:47 - A half-hearted attempt at Saturday Night Fever.
0:52 - "You guys, being without a shirt is really cold. Can we move real fast and get it over with?"
1:03 - The pelvic thrust makes us say "NO".
1:20 - Now would be a good time to put your thumb right at the center of your video display.
1:21 - Keep it there...
1:22 - You're safe for now... but it seems that the indian has some kind of glorified manskirt loincloth...
1:27 - The guy in the blue hat has some very mean band mates. They told him it covered up that spot...
1:40 - You think you look so cool, wearing all leather. But you're just
overcompensating for the fact that you can't bend your knees.
1:50 - "FREEDOM FROM THE WHITE DEVILS!"
2:00 - Indians, when they hunted, leapt like the antelopes with their ballerina moccassins.
2:07 - This is the ritual of Leaping Frog.
2:08 - "I hope you like my butt!"
2:11 - (We hope you like our butts!)
2:18 - Get your thumb out, this time for the left side of the screen...
2:42 - I think MC Hammer stole that move.
3:00 - "Sigh... this routine has gone on too long."
3:05 - "You no tired! You must dance with the wind!"
3:16 - And that's the end of the Village People Christmas Special.
3:20 - AHH! THUMB! UP! CENTER OF SCREEN!
3:25 - The Village People's souls have been avenged. My eyes have not.
VILLAGE VIDEO NUMBER TWO

0:03 - And here we fade into... a ghetto YMCA.
0:06 - By the way, Prudential is right next door.
0:14 - The cop is suffering from little man's complex. Look at him be big!
0:18 - Fortunately, the indian is wearing clothes this time...
0:34 - THUNDERBOLT FOR THE WIN!
0:45 - WHOOOOOOA!
0:48 - Apparently, all they do is the Y.
0:58 - While you're hanging out with the boys, twirl!
1:11 - I know what HE's thinking.
1:16 - Tom Selleck: Urban Westerner.
1:22 - Nazi Construction Man wants YOU!

1:46 - Knees high, knees high, come on, men!
1:59 - "Camera's over here, sweetcakes."
2:04 - OOPS! We forgot we actually had to cue it.
2:20 - Tom Selleck used to be a sex symbol.
2:23 - MILITARY DICTATOR STEALS CAMERA TIME!
2:34 - I feel so sorry for the bystanders...
2:38 - "It's over there."
2:46 - "Duuuh wha?"
3:05 - "OH OH WE GOT IT THIS TIME!"
3:37 - Maybe the point of repetitive dance routines is to make them seem normal in this BIG CITY.
VILLAGE VIDEO NUMBER THREE

1:03 - That's more pit hair than I wanted to see.
1:21 - Side to side, DO THEM BODY WORKOUTS!

3:27 - This song is still number one in Canada, eh?
