Today on Music Video Monday: “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinead O’Connor
My mother never allowed us to watch MTV (it was Madonna’s fault!), which was 100% of the reason why I used to sneak some MTV when she wasn’t paying attention. I really loved this song and video… so much so that I wanted to discuss it with my parents, which, of course, gave away the fact that I had been sneaking MTV behind their backs.
Honestly, though, my favorite thing about the music video was that Ms O’Connor kept her hair so short. I had never seen a woman with short hair before, and I thought it was so cool.
Today on Music Video Monday: “Hello Goodbye” by The Beatles
I love John in this video. My favorite bit is 1:42 - 1:45 — especially when George doesn’t do the “why” part properly at all.
Bye bye, love. Bye bye, sweet caress. Hello, emptiness.
I feel like I could die.
Bye bye, my love, good bye.
Today on Music Video Monday: “Jesus He Knows Me” by Genesis
This song is sung from the perspective of a televangelist who, like all televangelists, convinces people to give him money by pretending that God speaks through him. As a young’un, I thought the song was hilarious — and even better still, the people who think this is a religious song! — but the video was always one of my favorites. Phil Collins’ acting is almost as convincing as anybody on TBN, and Mike Rutherford definitely had a lot of fun. My favorite part, though, is how obviously uncomfortable Tony Banks was the entire time.
