Youtube Music Video Association Thread (01/11/07)

[Joe]

If you want to play, here are the rules:
Check out the latest Youtube music video linked in this thread, the use free association to link it to another one. Videos have to be work-safe. If you feel the need to explain the association, or just want to brag about it, go for it.

I'll start us off with the first three minutes of "Don't Copy That Floppy," by an '80s dude with too much leather:

OK, the 80s rapper in "Don't Copy That Floppy" warns you not to pirate software. In Tone Loc's 1980s rap classic "Funky Cold Medina," Tone warns about the Funky Cold Medina getting you into compromising situations with transvestites.

[Joe]

I'm still on my first cup of coffee.

Tone mentions transvestites. Stephen Tyler takes a deeper look in "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)."

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

Stephen Tyler, who both sings "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)" and looks like a lady, is wearing a red shawl-type jacket thing.

This brings me to one-hit-wonder Chris De Burgh's "Lady in Red."

[Joe]

The sunglasses she wears in that are too horrible to escape notice.

"Sunglasses at Night" - Corey Hart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXw4qqQqTrY

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

"Sunglasses at Night" is set inside of a jail. Wait, I'm having a flashback of Orleans Parish Prison...

Ok, I'm back...You go to jail for murder, and are then tried in a criminal case, hence "Murder was the Case" by Snoop Dogg.

[Joe]

Snoop didn't actually die.
Hurricane didn't actually kill anyone.

"Hurricane" - Bob Dylan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUEdNBqL72w

e: I've been informed "Hurricane" was used last time. Here's another go:
"I Shot the Sheriff" - Clapton
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfTxt_u9uAs

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

Clapton shot the sheriff.

The Refreshments put sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car in "Banditos."

[Joe]

Convertible meets convertible.

"Bat Country" - ugh, Avenged Sevenfold.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hvc9amscrv4

e: for those playing in corporate America, this one pushes the PG-13 envelope.

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

Avenged Sevenfold, meet another band with 7 in its name, Seven Mary Three, or 7mary3 for short, with "Cumbersome."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apzn24LH1iQ

 

[Joe]

Ok, this just got kinda weird.

Seven Mary Three rocks out in a coffee shop.
Eve 6 rocks out in a diner in "Inside Out."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GHa63ieqXo

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

Eve 6's "Inside Out" is a 90s alternative love song that talks about being willing to "choke on the rind" for a girl who put their "heart in a blender" at the end of a relationship.

The Toadies "Possum Kingdom" is a 90s alternative lovesong that asks the girl to "give it up to me" and start a relationship.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpgh1MSRung

 

[Joe]

Assuming the girl wouldn't actually "give it up" to the Toadies, STP (actually Velvet Revolver; the actual video from STP is way far from work safe) comes in with "Sex Type Thing."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIwQjalEU5E

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

All roads lead to Salt n' Pepa right?

You know STP and VR were having their fair share of sex. S n P just wanna talk about it in "Let's Talk about Sex."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLZT-2SVsKU

 

[Joe]

Everyone can talk about sex, but Kanye is afraid to talk to God.

"Jesus Walks" - Kanye West
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE4XOcVzIXc
(again, PG-13)

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

In "Jesus Walks," Kanye says that he'll be gone til November cause he's "got packs (of coke) to move."

Wyclef can't work the 9 to 5, so he'll be "Gone til November."

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

 

[Joe]

"And give a kiss to my mother."
"Mother, tell your children not to walk my way."

"Mother" - Danzig
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVKJkAtARlk

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

Well, Danzig apparently hated his mother cause he asked if she wanted to find hell with him.

Ugly Kid Joe, well, he hates pretty much everything about your mother; in fact, he hates "Everything About You."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6U-D54kLjU

 

[Joe]

These song titles are just too long. Let's take it down to the root: You.

"You" - Candlebox
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7ww7SpXZ3w

Also, the lead singers look alike.

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

In "You," Candlebox talks about lonely people always begging for more.

DMX urges us to stop being greedy and give to the needy in "Stop Being Greedy."
