"You're just like your father."
"Maybe I'm just like my father: too bold." Also, his mother was never satisfied.

"When Doves Cry" - Prince

Ok, doves cry in Prince's world.

A little boy cries over an Orca killer whale in Free Willy, and Michael Jackson's "Will You Be There" is the themesong for that movie.

Michael says he's only human.

But White Zombie is more human than human. How bout that!

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

White Zombie is more human than human.

Boston has "More than a Feeling."

Poor Fiona only has one feeling right now.

She's feeling like a criminal.

"Criminal" - Fiona Apple
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZZyBeF6RVY

Also, this thread needed more hot chicks.

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

When Fiona made that speech at MTV, she went from being a criminal to experiencing freedom from MTV.

George Michael loves "Freedom '90," plus the video has a bunch of really hot chicks in it.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZgrpRuwcuHE (warning, hot lady in a bathtub)

 

[Joe]

Hot blonde is lip syncing in Michael's video.

Here's an '80s-hot blonde singing about staying hot.

"Die Young Stay Pretty" - Blondie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3js9wbrc1vM

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

Blondie says "Die Young Stay Pretty."

The Black Crowes say "Pretty little thing let me light your candle..."
Plus, lead singer Chris Robinson had a pretty attractive little blondie wife in Kate Hudson.

Kate Hudson sings "Tiny Dancer" in one of the best unintentional music videos ever (second only to the Rocky montages):

"Tiny Dancer" - Elton John/Crew of Almost Famous
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qn3tel9FWU

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

Kate Hudson's character in Almost Famous is Penny Lane.

The Beatles originally sang "Penny Lane."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ8QydLxvQ8

Just for the sake of movie songs, here is a favorite: "Afternoon Delight" by the Channel 4 News Team http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d08sQ0snxAU

 

[Joe]

I'll take Penny Lane.

The Beatles wrote "Helter Skelter," which drove Charles Manson nuts. Marilyn Manson's last name is Manson.

"Man That You Fear" - Marilyn Manson
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFjGzlXWXlU

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

Ok- Here's an association in and of itself:

Manson's video features trailers...in Great Brittain, trailers are called caravans. In Guy Ritchie's Snatch, the Pikeys all live in caravan villages. My favorite song from the Snatch soundtrack/score is The Stranglers "Golden Brown."

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

 

[AmmoSponge [deprecated]]

Golden happens to be the first name of a Dutch band named Golden Earring...

"Radar Love" - Golden Earring
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIA4gcrk-50

 

[Joe]

Lead singer in a tux, meet lead singer in a tux.

"Mr. Brightside" - The Killers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc50ONFU3jQ

Also, both bassists are playing stand-up basses. Interesting.

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

Eric Roberts is the old guy actor in the "Mr. Brightside" video.

He is the brother of actress Julia Roberts.

Julia Roberts starred in Pretty Woman with Richard Gere.

Here is Roy Orbison with "Pretty Woman."

[AmmoSponge [deprecated]]

Pretty Woman is about a prostitute in Manhattan. Britney Spears wants to be a prostitute in Hollywood.

"Slave 4 U" - Britney Spears

edit: new contestant! changing my answer

If only that were true. But hey, making love in California can't happen without a mention of "California Love" by Tupac.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j6HmGzj3EQ

e2: apparently this was used in the last thread, so here's a bonus one.

Brit really had to do some traveling to get to California. She's so rags to riches, it's pure Americana. And the Red Hot Chili Peppers tell her story.

Here's "Dani California" - RHCP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJA15-u2cqA

 

[a2SkinneeJ [deprecated]]

Ok, the Peppers use footage of them looking like they're playing on the Ed Sullivan show back in the day in "Dani California."

Outkast also goes with this angle, the old looking video, in "Hey Ya."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw5xkBWajD4 The Very Full and Explicit Language Video

e: I'm out, I'll continue this at a later date...good game

 

[AmmoSponge [deprecated]]

Outkast sang a song "Ms. Jackson" which was actually a message to Erykah Baydu's mother whose name was really Kolleen Wright who happens to be no relation to Gary Wright.

"Dreamweaver" - Gary Wright
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRVC0Iit_A

 

[Joe]

Dreamweaver is a Windows program. And Microsoft loves them some Intel. And the Blue Man Group does ads for Intel.

"Baba O'Riley" - Blue Man Group

Note: I apologize for the girl singing. Daltry she's not.
