Alright, let's do it...time to livetweet an hour of 90s music videos on MTV Classic...the good, the bad, the strange...
Smooth (Santana ft Rob Thomas) This is one of the worst pairings since Run DMC slummed it with Aerosmith. Thomas is the weak link with bulging eyes, two earrings, and lyrics about the ocean being under the moon while Santana plays amazing guitar with a kick ass band in the street
Almost Doesn't Count (Brandy) After a long road trip, Brandy checks I to a motel, changes from her cowgirl attire, and then crashes a Mexican wedding, although no one seems to notice her, so maybe she's a ghost?
What Is Love (Haddaway) In a castle possibly recycled from a Meat Loaf video, Haddaway songs to mannequins and a woman who does more cape choreography than Gaston from Beauty and the Beast while singing one line over and over and over again.
Achy Breaky Heart (Billy Ray Cyrus) This whole video is a tribute to white people line dancing and mullets. Approximately 85% of the people in this video probably voted for Trump, and more than half of them have a kid named "Austin."
Where The Streets Have No Name/Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You (Pet Shop Boys) In an economic decision, PSB ruins not one but two good songs by removing all the heart and melody and replacing them with shitty projections and schlocky acting. Not even Bono deserved this.
Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana) Moshing teenagers and anarchist cheerleaders rock out to Nirvana while burning down the gymnasium. The best character is the custodian who plays air guitar on his mop and was probably a roadie for Foghat or something.
Suck My Kiss (Red Hot Chili Peppers) The Peppers give each other haircuts, perform acupuncture, and slap the bass intercut with scenes of a red tinted military parade that have nothing to do with anything, but would provide inspiration for every Rage Against The Machine video
Believe (Cher) After seeing her bf dancing with someone else, a woman considers jumping off the roof until Cher appears to her like Obi-wan, switches places, and shoots lasers out of her eyes. She also wears a patch of grass on her head and uses auto-tune liberally.
Same Song (Digital Underground) This video engages in almost every racist stereotype possible. Like I don't even have a snarky comment, it's just really bad an offensive.
The Way (Fastball) After watching a workout video in a store window, the boys of Fastball decide to rip off the melody and chords to Besame Mucho and imagine themselves on a road trip, at a sock hop, and jumping off a warehouse, all of which are more exciting than the song itself
The end. Back to dystopia tomorrow!
