There are times when you must stray from your stated purpose and venture into silliness. So today I step away from camera techniques, editing tricks and insights on how to make great personal videos and bring you three of the worst music videos of all time. I am not entirely certain they were created with anything more than a genuine sense of goofiness, but I am pretty sure the creators were serious about their craft. While there is fun in looking askance at another’s efforts, you have to give credit where credit is due. All three of these videos represent someone who had a vision and stuck with it. Of course, they may have stuck with it a little too long.
For the past five years I have been convinced that David Hasselhoff’s epic, “Hooked on a Feeling”… complete with bad spinning video cubes, two faux angels, insulting parodies of world cultures, spears, wind machines and a rubber fish, is the worst music video of all time. What’s not to love.
Well I have found two more gems that are worth noting. The first, “I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper” reminds us that it is amazing we survived the 70s as a race of thoughtful people. It is amazing those of us who were in college made it to see the 80s. I particularly like the guy who throws the glitter up in the air. Wonder what he does for a living now?
And the third video… well… The word INTENSE doesn’t even give this video justice. As one wag noted, “Somebody tell me where i can buy a Mark Gormley t-shirt. I don’t care what they cost. Mark Gormley is a legend of rock, that i can’t simply just watch pass me by.” I couldn’t have said it better. Enjoy.
