YouTube Music Videos: Major Key REM

[Wayne]

1978 again but much worse

Oh i dunno.......!

But yeah, 'Black Betty' rocks!

[Wayne]

Here's a great old fave from 1978!

What a Waste - Ian Dury & the Blockheads.

[Ralph]

I enjoyed that Ian Dury one

I thought "Hit me with your rhythm stick" was a good follow up

[SiHart]

This is a great video for a song that's a bit of a favourite here.

Desperate!

[Pip Madeley]

Moloko: Pure Pleasure Seeker

Guys, if you haven't got a rock on after watching that, then you're either gay or mad.

[Wayne]

Or this one, which is strangely absent from Manson-tastic Garbage at Glasto dvd which you did me. It must've been on when they had an ad-break or something. But it must've been included in a 'best bits' programme.

[Simon R]

What ever happend to the Reynolds Girls?

Surely one of the universe's biggest mysteries.

Did their other sister end up in Brookside? Did one of them snuff the candle in child birth? Perhaps we will never know. But Linda Reynolds did this in 1992...

Interesting lyrics...

[Paul Monk]

I've had this song in my head for ages.

Its annoying catchy and poor old Aneka looks very awkward in this video

[Pip Madeley]

Your favourite Justin Lee Collins met up with her for a One Hit Wonders TV show a few years back.

I've discovered David Bowie doing a live cover of 'Nite Flights' on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwJOr0URk_c

One of the finest Walker Brothers songs and Bowie did it justice.

[Paul Monk]

Its a great version isn't it? Its well suited to Bowie's style I think.

[SiHart]

This is still one of my very favourites!

[Paul Monk]

An annoyingly catchy song that has a message I don’t really get in it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2HM6_tkQhw

The wonderful Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band with probably their best known hit bar the Monster Mash

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbLDI5lNdRQ

And a song that I love but is so bad on many levels by a group that are bad on so many levels.

[Paul Monk]

How camp were this lot?

And two of my favourite 80's songs

Another favourite from a slightly odd film. Look out for Deep Roy!

Sally Sparrow
I wrote you a letter
To make you feel better
'bout the fact that I'm gone
I may be stuck in the past
But my future is vast
Don't go looking for me
Girl, you've got to go on
Don't think he's taking to you
He's just on the TV
Well look past the Easter Egg
And see the reality
A world of time and space
Inside a funny blue box
The angels are approaching
And the front door is locked

So don't blink
I said, don't blink
Just look directly at them
And they'll stay where they are
I think they're crying anyway
They can't mean no harm
my eyes are watering
I'm right on the brink
I'm sure nothing would happen
If I were to-

The doctor isn't here this time
This wont be a breeze
He's stuck in 1969
On your DVDs
Just listen very carefully
To what he's got to say
Do not turn your back on them
And don't look away
If they get inside the Tardis
Then the sun will go out
Just go down to the cellar
And show them what you're about
They move faster than
You could ever believe
Don't let the light go out
And don't be naive

Just don't blink
I said, don't blink
Just look directly at them
And they'll stay where they are
I think they're crying anyway
They can't mean no harm
My eyes are watering
I'm right on the brink
I'm sure nothing would happen
If I were to-

The future's coming quickly
So please don't be scared
The answers will find you
Just make sure you're prepared
When you see the doctor
Then you'll work out the link
But even though its ended
Please be sure not to blink

[Pip Madeley]

Simple, beautiful, so sad.

A live version of a new Walkmen song - If Only It Were True

And a vintage vid from the 60's: The Seeds - Can't Seem To Make You Mine (recently popularized by an Axe (Lynx) Body Spray commercial)

[Dave Tudor]

Great video for hip new band Black Kids' current single 'Look At Me', done in the style of 80s cartoons like Battle Of The Planets, Thundercats etc. - it's quite a catchy tune, too:

Check out that drum work - this song is a wall of sound when you hear it in a big arena

Obscure!

Looking good though.

[Jeff]

Absolutely captivating video...

[Rob McCow]

Coldcut have a V-J session of their Doctor Who theme!

It's Doctor Who remix of the year... or at least today.

It's got a lot of Pertwee in it!

[Pip Madeley]

That was bloody awful!
