The writer’s strike has begun to affect more than just TV. I haven’t seen a decent music video premier is over a month. Much like late night TV, I have resorted to re-runs of classic videos from my youth. Do you remember the days when the Real World didn’t come on in 10 hour blocks and Busta Rhymes was making all those wild videos? No? Well, with the magic of YouTube I present: Neal’s Video Throwback. I hope these decade old morsels are fresh enough to slake your thirst during this ridiculous drought.
10. Basketcase - Green Day - 6th grade was a crazy time full of self-loathing and the noxious whiff of puberty. Sound familiar?
9. No Diggity - Blackstreet -This may have been one my first experience with booty dancers. It looks like they jacked Boyz II Men’s wardrobe for this video, but at least they weren’t sporting shiny suits.
8. Du Hast - Rammstein - Years before assclowns like SlipKnot were getting airplay, there was Rammstein. Tell me this doesen’t make you want to run into the street and slap a fat kid.
7. Glycerine - Bush - I feel like I could have put ANY Bush track from the first album here. The video might be ’simple’ by today’s standards, but this used to pass for a decent video 10 years ago.
6. Wonderwall - Oasis - Joke all you want, but I know you own this CD. I used to listen to this on gray rainy days. Seeing as how I grew up in Pittsburgh - you can imagine how often that was. This video went straight from MTV to VH1’s Pop-up Video. If that isn’t indicative of its massive popularity, I am not sure what is.
