Music Video Night with Sunny

Sunny's been a bit grumpy today, but no fits.  We had a fun time tonight watching videos on the computer.  He made me play that TI & Justin Timberlake song, "Dead and Gone", over again several times (I played the clean version, of course).  It was a huge hit on the radio here, and Sunny loves the song.



The video is rather pedestrian.  Plus, Justin Timberlake looks like he has some kind of fungus growing on his upper lip.  I don't know much about him, but I've heard he's supposed to be a sex symbol, which amazes me.

Sunny asked me what the song was about.  I asked him what he thought the song was about.

- "What does it tell your imagination?" 
- "I think it's someone singing about how his father just died.  And he doesn't have any other family so he's all alone with no one to take care of him.  So he gets in a car and he keeps driving.  He's going to drive all the way to another country to find a new family to take care of him."

What an interesting story!

We watched a bunch of other music videos.  I usually hate 80s nostalgia, but I have to say, they made some fun videos back then.  Take Golden Earring "Twilight Zone":



Sunny: "THEY'RE MAKING HIM CRAZY!  THAT'S CRAZY! AAAAGGHHH!"

We wrapped it up with the Sledgehammer video.
 

That got him so excited, he broke out into spontaneous breakdancing at the end.

I didn't show him the craziest 80s video of all: the original version of "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.  It was censored for being really, really, really gay, and never shown on MTV. It starts off with a bunch of people waving condom-covered bananas around, and just goes downhill (or uphill?) from there. Not many Americans have seen it. It's pretty awesome.
