What's the worst music video ever?

[Generic Brad]

My vote is for "Pretty Woman" by Van Halen. A woman in bondage being hounded by midgets in jump suits. An agitated hunchback. Marc Anthony as a samurai. Alex Van Halen as a Tarzan type character. Eddie Van Halen as a cowboy. David Lee Roth as Napolean.

I like the song but the video is :puke:

[mtnester]

1. 3 Doors Down "Superman" was pretty creepy for me n/t

[Mojambo]

2. Mr T - "Treat Your Mother Right"

See it here.

20. Wow, that is bad. Kinda looks like the Super Bowl Shuffle video. n/t

[ContraBass Black]

31. Aaaaaaaahhhh!!! Noooooooooo!!!!

*dies*

[mzteris]

3. All of them.

whoever invented the "concept" should be shot.

If I ever see one (inadvertently) I will ALWAYS "see" it in my head whenever the song comes on. It just ruins the song for me.

And from what I've ever seen of them - they mostly suck anyway and the majority seem to be degrading to women.

6. Then don't watch "The Tube:.

Our UPN (soon to be MyTV) affiliate has just added a digital sub-channel - The Tube. Nothing but music videos... some modern, some classic. Not bad for a music channel TV the way MTV used to be.

Mark.

10. Here in the Los Angeles area we get "The Tube" on KTLA sub chan 5-5

Great channel.

[Ava]

4. John Mellencamp: Walk Tall

just... strange -

5. Starship "Built This City On Rock And Roll"

Song is awful, video is horrendously boring. :boring:

[Floogeldy]

7. This thread disrespects the video arts and rock music in general.

I will not tolerate this senseless bashing of artists.

There are more important things to worry about.

The next thing you know, jealous females will be attacking Rachael Ray.

}(

[Generic Brad]

9. I don't disrespect music video artists

Just Van Halen's "Pretty Woman" video.

[Floogeldy]

12. Okay. Good.

So, you will never ever bash another rock band or video as long as you are here in The Lounge. You have precisely narrowed it down to just that one video, out of all of the videos in the world.

I'm glad.

Thanks,

Floog

[Generic Brad]

15. You can hold me to that, Floogeldy

Between MTV2, VH1 Classic and CMT I have a healthy respect for videos and a sincere appreciation for everyone who works to put them together. Van Halen is also one of my all time favorite bands. My criticism is isolated to one and only one video (and just the images, not the music).

Now I'm going to get flamed for admitting I like music videos. Oh, well. So be it.

[Skittles]

29. Ms. Ray is so peppy I want to drive a nail thru her forehead

yes INDEED

[stanwyck]

36. Hey, watch it, Skittles

I like Rachel. I like her flat Midwestern nasal accent (just like mine) and her what you see is what you get demeanor.
And don't even THINK about saying something catty about Paula Dean....
(don't make me come over there, missy)

[Skittles]

43. I could kick her ass

EASY

[TommyO]

52. She would harden your arteries

with her buttery gaze before you could even get your foot off the ground!

[951-Riverside]

8. Grandmaster Flash - "White Lines"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb33uWeRplo

Great song terrible video :D

[swag]

22. They mislabel all those Melle Mel and the Furious Five vids.

Uploaders seem to have forgotten that Melle Mel split off from Flash somewhere after "The Message" and did "Step Off" and "White Lines" and other numbers with that crew and another DJ (Vicious Lee, I believe).

Sorry to be pedantic, when I'm not really a hip-hop scholar (others here will correct me).


But yeah, really shitty video.

[reprehensor]

11. "Right here, Right now..."

F'n shite. Damn Jebus Jones. Damn them.

[sakabatou]

13. My unfinished music video!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grXhqlpKfXw

[Ava]

16. that's not bad at all!

it actually really good!

[sakabatou]

18. Any suggestions on where it should go?

You'll be in the credits if your suggestion makes it.

[Ava]

19. i'm afraid i wouldn't be helpful at all

i'm not an anime person myself, so i dont' know any of the shows.

[sakabatou]

27. Well how should it end? Happy or angsty?

[Ava]

28. hmmm.. well

the lyrics say "we were meant to live for so much more", so i think it should end with regret. :shrug:

[sakabatou]

39. Angsty it is then...

But I've also decided to have a series of this with different endings, and choices and leave it too the people to decide.

[Ava]

42. cool

PM it to me when you get done :hi:

[sakabatou]

45. Aye Aye, Cap'n Ava.

[Ava]

46. i'm a Cap'n!?

cool!

does this mean i get to meet johnny depp? :loveya:

:rofl:

[sakabatou]

47. Unfortunately not...

But you do meet 2nd mate, Cloud Strife, although he does mumble and mope a lot...

"Zuru zuru zuru zuru..."

Yeah...

[Ava]

48. aww man!

*pouts in a corner*

well hey.. depp was on the cover of the issue of the rolling stone that i was featured in... maybe it's a sign!!!!!

:rofl:

;)

[sakabatou]

49. Wait... a second, knowing Depp's character...

He might have stowed away... DEPP!

"Guard the boat, mind the tide... don't touch my dirt."

What do you mean, mind your dirt?

"Why fight when you can negotiate?"

Ach... you and your damn logic. Just don't upset Ava-taisa.

"No worries!"

Right...

[Ava]

51. HAHAHA!

:spray:
:rofl:

[sakabatou]

14. kick

[Nickster]

17. Billy Squier-Rock Me Tonite

The WORST video ever!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xelh0sFo3VY&search=billy%20squier

[Ava]

21. oh. my. god.

that one wins

[tuvor]

24. Thank you for making it so I didn't have to actually look for it.

:)

[Nickster]

25. It's burned into my memory banks. n/t

[Nickster]

26. Self delete.

[tuvor]

23. Gotta be that one where Billy Squier dances all girly-like.

"Rock You Tonight" or something?

[ok_cpu]

30. Journey "Separate Ways"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwGdXZ6o2xs

[Ava]

33. song sucks too

[ok_cpu]

35. Song sucks bad

The only thing that could be worse than that song is that video

[swag]

32. I can't find Thor's "Keep the Dogs Away" anywhere on-line,

so I can't confirm an impression of a couple decades ago that it was pretty bad.

But when this question arises, Thor's "Keep the Dogs Away" is the first video that pops into mind.

[swag]

37. Oh, a different song, but a taste of Thor

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEyjQzogIkc&search=thor

[grannylib]

34. "Come on Eileen"...the song sucked and the video sucked and the band

SUCKED and did I mention, the song REALLY SUCKED???

[stanwyck]

38. But the remake is cool

wish I could tell you who sings it.

[grannylib]

40. It'd have to be pretty cool to get me to listen to it...for me, if a song

itself sucked, it's not gonna matter WHO sings it. People can ruin good music with remakes, but it's pretty hard to make a bad song good, regardless of what you do!

[Generic Brad]

44. I don't know....

I kind of liked the girls wearing the overalls. I bought a pair of overalls after I saw that and I'm not even a girl.

[shawmut]

41. Tommy Seebach, "Apache"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSizsFSOd84

[LSK]

50. whats a music video????

I havnt seen one since MTV stopped playing them in 1988.
