Video Time-Warp #14: Marcy Playground – “Sex and Candy”
First of all, I'd like to commend these guys on combining the two great aspects of our society that needed to be brought together. How American society got through the 70s without a song that combined sex and candy, I will never know. but by the late 90s, it was high time those two be married and Marcy Playground stepped up to the plate...

Video Time-Warp #13: Smash Mouth – “All-Star”
Look at the star power of this video! In 1999, the smart money on who would be the most famous people to emerge from this music video would have been… I dunno, probably Kel Mitchell. Maybe Smash Mouth as a band. But between William H. Macy, Ben Stiller, and Dane Cook, you’ve got three dudes worth about a billion dollars combined...

I've noticed a recurring theme in all of these nostalgic songs from the end of the 20th Century--and probably one of songs throughout the majority of history--is that they're about these vaguely victimized young women who suffer from the stupidity of the person singing the song who then has to make amends...

Imagine the migraine one would have if he or she cried enough to fill an entire room. Crazy, right? Well, this is is the story of a girl who cried a RIVER and that river drowned the whole WORLD. The pressure on the sinuses, the physical exhaustion...

Video Time-Warp #10: OMC – “How Bizarre”
Before Lorde, New Zealand's most famous musical export was this gem. No disrespect to the great work done by Flying Nun Records, but this thing was bumping from the cars of (white, nerdy) people all over the country for an entire summer. This video looks like a commercial for a local restaurant that's had at least a dozen health code violations...

Video Time-Warp Episode #9: SR-71 – “Right Now”
This song was everywhere in the summer of 2000. It was inescapable. And, like our first Video Time-Warp, this jam was featured on the soundtrack to the forgettable Jason Biggs/Mena Suvari vehicle Loser in the same year. So, the premise to video about this song about someone who is in a dysfunctional relationship is apparently that the band is getting mobbed by the LaDiEs~* And how could they not,

Video Time-Warp #8: Citizen King – “Better Days (And the Bottom Drops Out)”
  The record industry is nothing if not a pack of copycats, so I guess the mentality at some point in the 90s was "We need another Beck. Find him." And one of the results, clearly, was Citizen King. I mean, seriously, these lyrics: In my shoes my toes are busted My kitchen says my bread is molded I got a good job at the dollar store One foot in the hole One foot gettin' deeper With a

I unabashedly love everything about this song. I can't explain it, but then again, there are many things about this video/song I can't explain. We'll get into those. Oh, will we ever.   We open with the lead singer (sporting a very late-90s facial piercing) lying--clearly uncomfortably--in a round bed. In ...

Pun in the title? Check. Catchy-ass song? Check. Goofy 80s theme-video? Check. Song about a guy-being-perfect-for-her-even-though-she-doesn't-realize-it? Oh yes. Check and check. I mean, what early 2000s trait DOESN'T this song have? I, for one, love having to sit through 35 seconds of the concept of a music video before the music even starts...

Video Time-Warp #5: Dexter Freebish – “Leaving Town”
This is a ridiculously nostalgic song for me. It was all over WRRV circa late-2000, and I think they might have played at The Chance or done some in-store appearances for the station in the Middletown area around this time. This isn’t really the type of song I like but I can't resist it. Plu...
