  Speaker 1: To night.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: We're going to start a new series. This is going
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: to be a music video reaction series. And basically what
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do with this is try to get
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: some input, try to get some suggestions from anyone watching
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: out there. I want to know if you can recommend
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: me some of the weirdest, most unsettling, unusual music videos
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: you can find. This is something I just picked five
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: off the top of my head that really stood out
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: to me from whenever I was in my youth, whenever
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I was growing up, these music videos always stuck with
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: me for one reason or another, whether.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: They're creepy, disturbing, you name it.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: This was definitely something that I think everybody went through,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: especially when MTV and VH one were constantly playing music
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: videos and music videos were I don't know more of
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a thing. That's something that I'm interested in is if
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: somebody that's younger or listens to a lot of newer music,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: they still make weird music videos, and if so, please
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: send me some recommendations. I'd love to check them out.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: But I'm a little out of touch. I'm a little
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: out of touch with new music. What can I say,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I'm stuck in the past. I'm a slave to the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: old ways, if you know what I'm saying, the glory
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: days of MTV. Praise the Almighty Carson Daily for blessing
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: me with so many good memories and so many fun
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: music videos and tlr TRL countdowns to watch after I
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: got home from school. If you're watching this on YouTube
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: or Spotify or listening to it wherever, I am going
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: to play the five music videos that I've picked out
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: for this, but because if I show them to you
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: through any of those streaming services, the video is gonna
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: get taken down. Even one single music video would get
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: me taken down for sure. So if you want to
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: watch along to the full videos and listen to the
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: song and everything, I'm gonna post that on Patreon. I
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: think it'll be safe to post on Patreon, So click
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the link in the description, get onto my Patreon. I'll
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: post it up there. You can watch it, listen all
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the music. It'll be great. If you're going this route,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: then you'll still get my commentary. I'll play the music
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: videos and then react to them and talk about my
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: history with some of these music videos. So without further ado,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: let's get into with our This is the one that
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: stands out to me, I think the most when I
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: think about weird, offbeat music videos from my childhood. Here
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: we go with mister Bungle. The song is called Travolta,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So here goes nothing.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Shout out to a dial up internet. Uh oh, we're
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: gonna have ads on. I'm gonna turn the volume down
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: for these fucking ads though, because I don't want to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: hear that bullshit. Yeah, shout out to dial up internet,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: because I don't think I would have heard about the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Travolta song if it wasn't for the Internet. I don't
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: think that's when I ever saw on MTV or anything
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: like that. At least I don't remember seeing it. It
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: might have played, I'm sure it probably did. The band
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: mister Bungle. I feel like they're famous for having Mike
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Patton as the vocalist from the band Faith. No more
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: you know you know the band Faith. The more they
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: have the song I can't remember what the song is called,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the do you Want It All but you Can't Have
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: It song?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Epic.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a weird music video for that one too.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: There's like a goldfish that dies in it or something,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: or at least they show a goldfish flopping on the
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: ground for a while.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So, you know, Mike.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Patton kind of a weird dude, does a lot of
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: interesting music projects. I think he did vocals for the
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Dillinger Escape Plan for a little bit or at least
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: one album. Pretty fun stuff. Pretty fun stuff there with
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Mister Bungle. Definitely feels like one of those music videos
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: where they just had a checklist of every like creepy
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: or unsettling thing that you can think of. We saw
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of baby dolls in that music video, like
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: dirty baby dolls getting their heads kicked off and stuff
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: like that. There's a lot of creepy masks, like a
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: lot of old man masks. I think I even saw
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: like a Native American mask in there, and they're kind
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: of like, you know, messing around with the masks. Speaking
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: of masks, there's also a gimp suit mask that Mike
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Patten's wearing and he's constantly like touching the lips of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: it with a cross, which brings on our next box
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: to check, which is religious imagery. Just throw some religious
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: stuff in there, because you've got as off kilter with
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: all this you know, unsettling stuff. It's very suggestive as
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: far as like sexual stuff with the s and M
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: bondage mask, as well as the almost violent stuff that's
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: going on in this video, Like you don't really see
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: anything except for you got like the five or six
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: guys that are hanging from the ceiling. You know that's
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: that's violent, I guess. But then you got the guy
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: pulling out the saw and the meat cleaver, and just
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of really suggestive stuff like that, and you
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: throw in any religious imagery on top of that, you're
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: gonna get a weird music video, especially whenever that came
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing that came out in the nineties, just assuming
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and what else?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: What else have we got in there?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's a lot of inverted colors. That's always going
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to scare you. If you're afraid of inverted collors, don't
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: watch that music video. Scare the shit at of you.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: What else was there? I don't really remember seeing any
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: bugs though, which is kind of surprising. That's one of
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: those music videos with everything else that has going on.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I would assume there'd be like a close up of
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: like maggots or cockroaches or something, but they restrain themselves
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a little bit. They're saving that for the next music video.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I'm sure on top of all the visuals you got
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: going on there, just an odd song altogether. It's very
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: like dis dissonant, discordant or whatever.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: A lot of really.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Interesting sounding instruments, like almost like an organ a lot
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: of the time with a synthesizer and like really bassy
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: sounding synth sizor like kind of kicking in some of
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: those almost like diminished sounding chords or whatever it's got
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: going on there. And then that has the couple of
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: moments where it does a little jazz break where it
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: almost sounds like a doors song, like the organ solo
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: or whatever that's going over the jazz drums. Yeah, just
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: a really interesting piece of music there. We got with
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the song Trivolta by mister Bungle, and you've already caught
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: a little peep into what's next. This is gonna be
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: definitely a more mainstream, more conventional weird song that was
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: on MTV all the fucking time, and I remember seeing
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: this one quite a lot. We'll talk about it after
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: we watch it. We're going with the one of the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: most recognizable weird music video guys out there, Marilyn Manson
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: with the Dope Show. That's a cup of piss there,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: he's got a beaker full of piss. Oh nice, let's
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: get this fucking volume done. Oh, Marilyn Manson. So, I
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: think the thing that stands out to me the most
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: after watching the Marilyn Manson music video is just the
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: fact that we Me and Ray from Spooky Nerd Club
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: just got done watching Lost Highway last week, and obviously
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: you have Marilyn Manson and Twiggy making cameos in that movie. Fantastic.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I love that they're in that movie. I love that
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: David Lynch was friends with them and put them in
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: that mute uh in that in the movie Lost Highway.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: What a what an iconic band and performer Marilyn Manson is.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I mean one of those things where, like I don't
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: even remember how old I was whenever his music videos
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: started to really become popular. I remember watching The Dope
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Show and the Beautiful People music videos quite a bit
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: when I was, you know, pre high school into high
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: school and stuff like that, and I really liked those songs.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't really get Marilyn Manson at the time. It
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: took me. Sorry, some fucking flew in my throat there,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: fucking fly climbed in it's from watching all these disturbing videos. Anyway,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: it took me a while to really understand Marilyn Manson
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and what the whole point of the band was and
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: everything like that. I really love what the song is about,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: what the dope, the you know, the whole thing dealing
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: with the music industry, and just kind of like shining
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a light on that. I think that's really always really
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: kind of refreshing to hear from somebody that's as big
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: as Marilyn Manson is and was at that time. And
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: this this is one of those things where like I
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: remember not necessarily really thinking that Marilyn Manson was like
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: a scary person per se, like in a horror movie.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Since more just like I thought like if I, as
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: a child, if I was ever going to be molested,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: that it would be by somebody like that, you know
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: what I mean, that looked like him, like you know,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: a big spooky guy with skinny legs and penis and
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: boobs or whatever. As a kid, to me, that was
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: just too much for my brain to handle. Kind of think,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: is there anything else to really say about Marilyn Manson?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Not really other than for some reason I was thinking
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that was the video that had like the people with
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the big eyes, like the alien eyes or something, or
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I know that's in the Aerials music video by System
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: of a Down, but I thought that was also in
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: a Marilyn Manson music video. Am I let me know
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: in the comments somebody start recommending me more music videos
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to watch, because I can't think. I can't even keep
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: these damn music videos straight anymore. These were all cataloged
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: in my brain when I was a teenager, but for
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: some reason now it's just like everything's fucking mixed up
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: in there. I got too many other things to think about.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I guess damn it. All right, let's get on with
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the next one. This is going to be primus with
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Wenona's fantastic. That music video definitely fall more into the
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: like Uncanny Valley category as far as music videos go,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: and one of the reasons is because they filmed it
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: in halftime and then sped it up to full time
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: to give the effect that they were moving in this
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: like inhuman way, and it works so well. Not to
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: mention obviously, the costumes, the prosthetics, everything that they have
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: going on in this video. It's unreal. It's it's one
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: of those things where I feel like all of these
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: music videos, and especially music videos around this time, had
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: a lot more attention to detail put into them. Like
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: with this music video, they have these incredible, incredible looking costumes,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: but then at the same time, whenever the lyrics kick in,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: it's literally just a lyric video slide show with like
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: these cartoon drawings of what the singer what Wes Claypool
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: was talking about. So the whole thing just cracks me
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: up because it's like, obviously there's a lot of care,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: a big production really went into this music video, and uh,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and then that's how they do that's how they fill
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: out the middle parts. It just it's so funny, it's
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: so fitting for Primus. Honestly, I'm kind of late to
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the game as far as Primus goes. I didn't start
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: smoking weed until I was an adult, so I didn't
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: feel really feel like I could get into Primus as
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: a teenager, if you know what I'm saying. I didn't
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: think I was allowed to listen to Primus until I
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: started smoking weed, So I just kind of you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I heard that this song, I heard like John the Fisherman,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Too Many Puppies, you know, the songs everybody hears and
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Primus has this great history, this great backstory of how
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: their band got started. Their first album is like a
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: live album which is on you know, unheard of, unprecedented really,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: and then you got less Claypool trying out for Metallic
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: at one point, which trying to imagine that is impossible.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I feel like he would have just taken over the
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: whole damn band. He would have become. He would have
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: been playing Kirk Hammett's guitar parts on the bass and
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: just totally fucking flip the band on its head. It
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: would have been insane. So let's go ahead and get
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: into our next music video. Yes, that's right, the classic
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Aphex twin Come to Daddy.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Had to throw this one on there. What's this old
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: bitch up to nice?
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Snap your W two and file your taxes on free
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: plus get your biggest refund? Oh Aphix twin with Come
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: to Daddy. Uh God damn. That is one of those
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: music videos that if you are in the horror and
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: stuff like that, I mean, that music video feels like
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: a short horror movie really, and the music suits it
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: so well. That's one of the things I really enjoy
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Twins music as well as their music videos, and overall,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the guy just seems really cool. Seems like a really
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: cool and interesting guy. I don't know what his name
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: is there anything like that, but whoever is in charge
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: of Apex Twin, I love that he always has that
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: same facial expression or whatever on all of the music
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: video characters, like with that one with all the kids
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: running around and they all just look like his face.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: It's so fucking funny. And also there was something about
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: him that I saw recently where there's like an autistic
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: twelve year old that was making like fan fan videos
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: or fan music videos on his YouTube channel and uploading
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: him to Aphex Twin songs. So the guy reached out
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: to the kid and let him direct a music video,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: like an official music video for one of his songs.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: And I just think that's badass. That's something everybody should do,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: be a little bit more in touch and a little
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: more aware of like your fan base and stuff like that.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: And you know, if your job is just to make
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: music and stuff, you think you could be a little
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: bit more like grounded and in touch with your fans
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: in the world around you. It's just really charming to see,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: especially from somebody that makes music as weird as that,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: it's really really cool. There was a couple of things
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I forgot to mention about Marilyn Manson earlier, and one
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: of them is obviously like him removing his red to
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: suck his dick. That is one hundred percent true. Actually,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I know everybody says it's not true. It's true. I
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: read his book. It's in there. It's a fact. Anyway,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: On a lighter note, or to our final music video,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: and this one is definitely a childhood treat. This was
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: one that I haven't watched many of these since I
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: was probably a teenager. So this is kind of an
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: interesting like refresher on some of these music videos, and honestly,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I would say most of them hold up, like from
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: what I remember the way I remember enjoying these as
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: a kid, I still think they're really great music videos.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised by this entire list. We'll
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: just finish it out with this. If you are listening
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: to this and you want to watch along with the
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: music videos, like I said earlier, go to Patreon. It's
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: in the link. You can sign up there. You can
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: get a Patreon subscription for as little as three dollars
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: and eleven cents. There's plenty of other tiers on there,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: but they all get you the same thing. It just
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: depends on what kind of shit you're into. The three
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: eleven prices obviously for fans of three eleven. Then we
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: got the four to twenty price for the weed smokers.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: We got the five dollars and one cent price for
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Abraham Lincoln fans, you know, and so on and so forth.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: I think we got a stone cold price at three sixteen.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Like I said, it just depends on what kind of
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: shit you're into. So the last music video of the night,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: we're going to cap it off here, have a good
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: night everyone, Bust Rhymes, give me some mo.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Win the club, hoping your mount any baby, you can
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: give me everybody let.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Me oh ship. You know.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: We had to end up with a fun one, Bust Rhymes,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: The King of the Fish Islands. The Fish is Lens
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: was all over the place in the nineties, you cann't
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: get away from it and rat music videos. Buster Rhymes
