The day before we started shooting, I was practicing the moves from Thriller in my tiny apartment back in Portland, OR. If you look closely in the video, you’ll see I have a Bandaid on my hand. Feels like an injustice, but that’s life.Īlso, if you haven’t watched me as a zombie in my Thriller jacket doing moves from Thriller, then please watch this video for Let’s Go Out Tonight. But, since this is my list and I do have an irrational obsession with You Can Call Me Al, this, unfortunately, has to reside #2 on this list. And it’s equally impossible to think anyone will top MJ’s Thriller video. It’s borderline impossible to think anyone will come close to breaking that considering today’s health protocols. It’s like Brett Favre’s consecutive games record (297 consecutive games in the regular season, 321 if you count the playoffs, which I do). It’s by far the greatest achievement in music video history and is unlikely to ever be equaled. If not for my irrational obsession with the You Can Call Me Al video, this would be #1, hands down. The dancing, the costumes, the story, the execution everything is perfect. “Did you see that person slip and fall on a banana peel?” “HE HE.”īut, in all seriousness, the video is just a work of fucking art. “Bradley, are you going to the park?” “Yep. It was probably weird when, as a kid, my answer to everything was either “HE HE” or “SHAMONE.” Seriously, it works for everything and means whatever you want it to. I’d spend hours trying to moonwalk across the living and even more time perfecting my hat throw. There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said about this but Michael was the first musician I ever wanted to be like. I can’t believe there was a time when they spent this much time and money on music videos. This is probably on every top music videos list known to man and for good reason. This song, along with Come On Eileen, are my go to “instantly bring me an immense amount of joy” songs. Even on my darkest days this song and video can bring a smile to my face. The premise is simple and perfectly executed. It’s a throwback to a time when Chevy Chase was still funny and not universally hated. It’s my favorite song from one of my all-time favorite albums (Graceland, if you didn’t know). That’s my answer as to why this is my top music video.
So, as Joe Swanson from Family Guy would say “LET’S DO THIS!!” What do I want to spend the next couple hours thinking and writing about? How about we go with: So, what lists are on the docket for today? Hmmm… Let me think.
aka it's hot as fuck and I'm sad as fuck.
I’m still busy working on various things but don’t have release dates or anything fun like that to announce.
But, what is time anyways? It’s nothing if not relative, right? One of the reasons I feel a lack of motivation to write is that so little actually changes these days. Wow… I can’t believe it’s been a month since I last posted.
