As we make our way down to the Video Vault for this week’s music video, you would think we’d come up with something old having a nice layer of dust on it. Thing is, videos get picked for inclusion into Video Vault Thursday for a number of reasons. Sometimes, simply because I like a song. Other times it’s because I think the video in question is an example of the form (music video) taken to the next level.
Music videos today are no longer the novelty they once were when MTV made it’s debut back in the early eigthies. Today, it appears videos themselves are almost an afterthought, just another part of the marketing plan in producing music as opposed to another means of expression to an artist.
There are exceptions though and this week’s video is one of them. While it is not brand-spanking-new, it is only a few years old and stands out as one of the more creative endeavors I have seen. It’s a great song too and wickedly funny to boot! Enjoy:
