The Twelfth inductee into VIDEOTOES YouTube HALL OF FAME

Charlie Schmidt's Keyboard Cat

This video is a sensation for several reasons - it is kind of funny and cute on it's own



But it is when coupled with an event of stupidity or loss that it comes into its own - It will not be long before the term "play him off Keyboard Cat" enters the language proper - enjoy

Don't You Forget About Me Simple Minds


Written specifically for the film The Breakfast Club - writers Keith Forsey and Steve Schiff were looking to have Bryan Ferry or Billy Idol record the song - they were finally convinced to go with Scottich New Wave band Simple Minds - they recorded it in three hours and forgot about it until the film was released and it became the biggest hit of their career.

248. Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand- directed by Jonas Odell

May 6th 2010 12:41
Take Me Out Franz Ferdinand
Take Me Out Franz Ferdinand


Glasgow pop-rockers Franz Ferdinand (named after the grand duke of the same name) had a huge global hit with this second release of their self-titled debut album. Directed by Jonas Odell the animated clip is a nod to the crazy animated work of Monty Python's Terry Gilliam as well as 1930's musical director Busby Berkley. A ripping original clip for one of the catchiest pop/rock songs of the decade - enjoy

247. I Think We're Alone Now - Tiffany

May 5th 2010 03:31
I think we're alone now Tiffany
I think we're alone now Tiffany


While there was great music in the 80's there's also some tragic stuff - this definitely fits category. Tiffany Renee Darwish better known as just Tiffany became pop sensation on the back of this cover of a 1960's song by Tommy James and the Shondells - she didn't even like the song but her astute manager thought it would be the perfect vehicle for pop stardom. The first part looks like it was shop at highpoint shopping centre - A guilty pleasure - enjoy

This Love Maroon 5
Maroon 5 This Love


This clip for the catchy tune by Maroon 5 - This Love caused some controversy for the intimate scenes between lead singer Adam Levine and his girlfriend. I'm putting it in for the memorable tune - the video is directed by veteran Sophie Muller who has directed clips for Blur and Annie Lennox. Here it is - enjoy

245. Together in Electric Dreams - Phil Oakey and Giorgio Moroder

May 4th 2010 23:54
Together in electric dreams
Phil Oakey and Giorgio Moroder


This is a clip for the song Together in Electric Dreams by Human League's lead singer Phil Oakey and famed music producer Giorgio Moroder. It was written for the feature film Electric Dreams - but the song transcended the film and was probably more popular and well known in the end. Here it is in all its 80's glory - enjoy

English pop duo burst onto the scene in the mid 80's with their monster album - Songs from the big chair. It gave rise to several massive hits, Shout and this song, Everybody Wants to Rule the World. This lovely film clip was shot on location in Southern California and was directed by renowned music video director Nigel Dick (who went on to work with Oasis and Britney Spears among others). The clip was hugely popular and a major part of the bands success in the US. Great song, great clip - enjoy

Great post

you've given me both motivation and inspiration to write that book next year (though it is more of a how to manual for new dads than a novel)

Thanks for the lovely post you left on my

Great review.

I never really got into the band and I thouht use your illusion was completely overblown BUT Appetite For Destruction is one of the great rock albums of the 1980's

Still for me it isn't really Guns N Roses without Slash

That's a great cartoon - Tragically I followed Cib's line of thinking for the first minute going "what's so funny about a crocodile" then it twigged!! Glad I finally got it

Great post Paul!

I don't think that Haydos is in the same league as Steve Waugh as a batsman or as a figure of adoration for the Australian public. He's a big bully who turns into a sook. Time to get Sean Marsh into to the team - he's another 10 year player (and much better than his old man)

To be honest she always looks airbrushed to within an inch of her life (probably by the sam people who work overtime to put a little emotion in Nicole Kidman's face!)
