theLeon and i have been discussing the wonders of music videos this morning. rube goldberg is the featured search thingamajobby on google this morning, which leads to this video, natch.



is it just me? or should they have been one hit wonders? if they weren't geniusnesses, i think they would be. it reminds me, somehow, of...



but not. 'cause, they are totally different. but still...

the one video that i've not been able to shake after repeated viewings, i've probably posted in the past. dang, i'd post it every day if i could. it is the bomb. it is the bomb of the bombiest videos ever in the world. not to mention that whole "dancing has long been forbidden for its subversive effects on the residents and its tendency to lead to illegal magical practices" bit at the beginning. illegal! subversive! dancing! i'm totally in.



i think at this point i should assure you that no uke videos will be harmed in this post. i know you were concerned. it is absolutely something i would do should i be reverting to form.

instead? i shall explain why i am a miserable failure as a wife. it all comes down to this. theLeon? wanted to have a fancy shmancy wedding. i wanted this. well minus the blackface, because that would just be inappropriate (when you have an interracial marriage it's always good to be mindful of these things).



i mean, come ON. who wouldn't want an attendant in a blue furry bear suit? we've been discussing some sort of vow renewal thingamagiggiby. do you think he might be willing to take my feelings into consideration? i mean i never did get the wedding of MY dreams. it was ALL about him. but i'm not bitter. pinky swears.

okay, so this is theLeon's top five videos of all time. the aforementioned videos were not my top five, mind you. they were simply meanderings. i don't know that i have a top five, actually, since i was a deprived child without any access to cable. i had to resort to that late night friday night flights fake video countdown when i went on sleepovers which would have helped somehwat had i not be old before my time and asleep by midnight. enough about your tragic childhood and the sad sad non-wedding your dreams, you say. you just can't take it. i know. i know. feel my pain.

okay, so back to theLeon. he started with this first one, but i'm pretty sure it was a prevarication. it, right? laws. i hope so.

i'm going to have to work up a list. i mean i can't take myself seriously if i just phone it in, you know.
