How old are you? You may be too young to get all of the references they are making

Anyway the video is about how conceptualized video theme pitches were back then and they made it into a joke

Thanks for posting that.

I haven't thought of that video in years. It was great when it was released.

That video makes perfect sense...if you grew up in the 80s.

Funniest parts: "Billy Say Don't" t-shirt and Phil Collins as the mohawk guy from Road Warrior/Weird Science (yes--that was the same guy).

Awesome video. Phil Collins ruled in the 80s no matter what Trey Parker and Matt Stone say.

quote:

Collins did not know what he would use as a video theme for "Don't Lose My Number," so he decided to create a video showing his decision process in selecting a theme for it.[1][4] In the actual video, Collins talks to various "directors", who all give him bad ideas for the video. Their suggestions allow Collins to parody several other music videos of the time, including videos by Michael Jackson, David Lee Roth ("California Girls"), Elton John, The Police ("Every Breath You Take"), and The Cars ("You Might Think"), as well as movies such as Mad Max 2 and various samurai movies and Westerns.[1][4]


Above from wikipedia. In my opinion the video seems even more clever now. I enjoyed seeing it again for the first time in 20 + years.

The Fall - Big New Prinz

Always has fascinated me. What in the hell is going on there?
