Author Topic: Strange Music Videos Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-21-2010 02:32 AM                     Okay. I have been trying to find a certain tune/music video by some alternative rock band. I can't remember the name of the song or even the name of the band. All I remember is the music video was a little weird and the lyrics involved taking his girlfriend out on a date and ultimately doing bad things to her. The tune was actually pretty good. When I first heard it a few years ago I didn't have the forethought to write it down on paper or just go out and buy the damned CD. So now I'm just frustrated thinking about the tune and not being able to fill in the blank! While searching I came across other really strange music videos, some of which I've seen before, such as Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin or any number of music videos from Tool. Anyway, the purpose of this topic is to ultimately help me find that damned lost rock tune, but also work as a collective for scary, strange or just plain weird music videos. I'll start things off with a couple of Aphex Twin videos: Come To Daddy - Aphex Twin Aphex Twin - Rubber Johnny  |  IP: Logged Catalin Balaceanu Film Handler Posts: 36 From: Pascani, Iasi, Romania Registered: Mar 2006 posted 03-21-2010 03:58 AM                        Do you remember at list a few words from the song? When I try to find a certain song I don't know it's title or singer, I just go to good ol' google and type the few words I remember of it, followed by the word "lyrics". It works most of the time. I'm not a big fan of weird music, but I remember a few years ago I was in Holland, when somebody showed me the Rubber Johnny video, without telling me it's actually a music video. Ofcourse, it freaked me out at the beginning, thinking it's for real.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 03-21-2010 05:31 AM                        Yeah, "Come to Daddy" is great I also like Window Licker  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-21-2010 01:52 PM                        Of course with me being a fanatic about the animation work of Studio Ghibli, my favorite MV from the '90's is Chage & Aska's On Your Mark (1995 - directed by Hayao Miyazaki). Definitely qualifies as "strange" but I love it. As for an album I like but can't identify, a couple of years ago a friend at work gave me a CD-R labeled "Jade Lowe". No album or song titles listed. I've done searches on the name and fragments of some of the lyrics and haven't been able to find any ID info. The CD-R copy I have is deteriorating and beginning to skip a lot. For now I have the tracks stored on my PC but I'd love to ID that disc (or discs) and buy it/them some day. Frustrating.  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 03-21-2010 02:24 PM                     The video creator- a guy named Cyriak from the U.K- has got to be on something or he's a genius. I vote the second option. Frankie Avalon remixed and futzed with.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-22-2010 09:11 AM                     Ian, that video is mesmerizing! I really enjoyed it. Here's one I'm not so sure about. Whatever, the video looks just like the music sounds. I don't know Russian, so I'll call it Ei YIIII, ya ya ya, lo lo lo.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-22-2010 10:54 AM                        Mr. Trololo!

It actually played on MTV on its first day on the air. I also recommend The Bubblemen are Coming, which appears to be the product of either too many drugs or not enough drugs.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-22-2010 12:53 PM                     Damn David! That remix almost made me pee myself laughing! Maybe there's a gas leak in the house, but that struck me as too funny!  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-22-2010 12:59 PM                        Hillary, The first time I saw that remix I about had an "Oops I Crapped My Pants" moment from laughing.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

I doubt I'll recognize it as I'm not into music, but it may help to have details such as if it was a male/female vocal (male, I guess, since it talks about a girlfriend), perhaps recognizable as black/white singer (I guess white, as not that many black rock bands around), and perhaps the title of another song of similar style to get a feeling for it. Of course if you could only remember a full sentence of the lyrics, then that would only be a google away  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Linky Linky Pretty funny, but not nearly as strange as the original.  |  IP: Logged
