I wasn't going to do this ...

[apocalypsos]

... because while I feel this absurd urge to go see Music and Lyrics (I blame Hugh Grant, for whom I have a rather embarrassing attachment), I don't feel the need to subject the rest of you to my illness.

However, this video has me dying laughing every time I see it. Seriously, for a mock '80s video, it does one hell of a job getting it right. Also, if I have to have this song stuck in my head, so do you.

Oh, and if you're a Friday Night Lights fan, the guy who plays Jason Street is the other lead singer. I knew I recognized him.

DUDE. That song is RIDICULOUSLY CATCHY. I watched this the other day, and then walked around singing the stupid thing all night long!! *watches anyway*

Thanks. You're a BIG help. (I rather like Hugh Grant myself, and Drew B. is one of my all time faves, after 50 first dates and Donnie Darko). -hits replay-

You're not the only one who wants to see it. I have to wait until my friend gets home from vacation, though.

That song is gonna be in my head for days.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Heh. I still have to unbury my car if I want to go anywhere. :)

[skandrae.livejournal.com]

Ha, you have just made my day! Thanks ^_^

[georgiamagnolia.livejournal.com]

yow! Hugh. Can't dance. And yet I can't stop watching! *owie*

[way2busymom.livejournal.com]

That was freakin' hilarious. And close enough to the stuff I watched back in the 80's to make me do a double take...

[dhark-charlotte.livejournal.com]

*screams* You can't escape it! That was soooo very eighties. I laughed so hard my husband thinks I'm nuts

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

I think I might be able to convince the boyfriend to go and see this. We were both a little iffy, but it's starting to remind me a lot of Josie and the Pussycats, which RULES HARD, so maybe if I pitch it that way we'll have some fun. :3

Okay, so clearly that video is utterly horrible and completely ENDEARING.

also... I have mad love for Hugh. I heart him.

[buffyaddict13.livejournal.com]

OMGZ!

*loves hugh grant*

don't be ashamed about liking hugh grant. i too want to see music & lyrics. although husband says i need to go by myself. and wear a disguise.

;-P

Oh my God, so many wonderful details in that vid. Hugh’s frilly shirt! The lame bluescreen promenade! The synchronized booty shaking! The drummer knocking his sticks together because he can’t bring his kit into the ER!

AHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I see your mock 80's video and raise you a mock 80's video:



*grins*

[smallship1.livejournal.com]

...okay, that can't be Frank Finlay in the hospital bit, but he looks exactly like Frank Finlay looked in the 80s, and having someone of the order of Frank Finlay in it is exactly something a pop video would have done.

It's the subtle touches that make these things, I tell you.

[smallship1.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm in...

[dorei.livejournal.com]

yeah, i have a feeling that will be my hubby's response, too.

[scribewraith.livejournal.com]

we are allowed to slash them aren't we? because that video was so gay ;)

I think there should be rps fic genre for fictional bands *grin*

I may have gone to see this movie, possibly on Valentine's, possibly with a bunch of single friends.

If that were true, it may have been really cute and funny, not nearly as shameful as I had thought, and there may have been a Pop-up Video version of the above video over the end credits.

Maybe. ;)

[azurelunatic]

... bashing the other guy over the head with the ball. I can get behind that.

[tabaqui]

Wheeeeeeee!
Oh, that's so damn funny.

Me, i'm gonna see it 'cause Hugh Grant is fun and Drew Barrymore, she is...raaaawrrrrrr!

I luffs her.
:)

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

Oh, God, see this movie. It's hilarious! And I died when I saw Jason Street as the other half of Pop. I so need an icon.:)

[quicksylver-btg.livejournal.com]

Damnit, now I have a irresistable urge to listen to WHAM!

[the-oscar-cat.livejournal.com]

\o/

[loopychew.livejournal.com]

But that's a mock '90's video. A Canadian mock '90's video, even. That doesn't count.

;-)

[the-oscar-cat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right.

However:

"The 80's didn't come to Canada till 1993!"*

(*I may be miss quoting this).

:D
