We knocked off 100-50, now its time to begin rounding off the list of my 100 favorite youtube videos with part 3. In this list you’re gonna find a lot of amazing super groups, all-star pair ups, and ultra rare collaborations! Let’s begin the magical mystery tour right now!
#49. John Lennon, Jealous Guy – I dig this video because of John’s ruminations on the philosophy of love right before he launches into the song.
Welcome to a special Two for Tuesday of my youtube countdown. This is part 34, and today we are featuring two fantastic clips from 90s indie rocker Matthew Sweet. The first is “We’re the Same.” I love this video and song. It’s such a classic tasteful 90s rock song. A perfect 60s throwback featuring a gorgeous Kinks-esque melody and guitar arrangement. The lyrics are also brilliant, a universal love song about two lovers in perfect synchronization..I think. I remember reading somewhere that the song was about resentment over a lover for being “the same.” Anyway, the video is wonderful, directed by video hit maker Roman Coppola. It features a whole bunch of beautiful models pretending to be in Matthew’s impossible 60s group. You will probably need to play it a few times, the video is that good, and the song is that catchy. The second song is Matthew’s other big hit, “Girlfriend.” It’s another fab-tastic 60s retro number featuring a killer Deep Purple like riff and another unbelievably catchy melody. Again, its a song composed at the height of rock and roll taste, a real gem. The video features clips from Matthew’s favorite anime movie, “Space Adventure Cobra.” Apparently he’s really into anime as he has a bunch of anime tattoos.
Part 33 of my youtube favorites countdown continues with The Police’s excellent music video for “So Lonely.” Released in 1978 from their brilliant Outlandos d’Amour album, “So Lonely” is an example of their classic punk/reggae hybrid formula. Sting went so far to say that the chorus was ripped directly off of Bob Marley’s “No Woman No Cry.” I don’t hear it. I also can’t really hear the punk in this song so much. I mean, I’m sure in 1978, this was probably considered punk, but come on, its pop, power pop, and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I love the gasoline charged chorus, which is incredibly catchy and resonant. Sting was such a genius writing songs about heartbreak, anger, and breakups. Anyway, in the video, we have the Police on a Japanese subway, which is ALWAYS a great place to film a music video. I think its really rad, and I think you will too. Enjoy.
