There was a demo for a music video maybe 10 years ago, Day Day - Backseat, the video seems to have since been scrubbed from the internet and the best I could find was a thumbnail. The only things I can remember about it are the lyrics went something like "if your driver needs a rider...then you put it in my backseat" (yes, its about exactly what you think) and the guy singing it looked like a cross between Geordi LaForge an Lady Gaga.
That was rough… I feel like it would be on par with a lot of other bad 80s videos if it weren’t for the so called “dancing”. That really put it over the top lol
Aaron Carter’s “How I beat Shaq” is pretty hilarious. They actually got Shaq in it, but it’s clear that Aaron Carter had no idea how to play basketball. And they have to make it look like he’s better than Shaq? Yeah right
for me its about the contrast between an amazing song and an absurdly terrible video that in no way captures the tone or feel or quality or intent or expression of the song. for my money its depeche mode’s leave in silence.
The other video I posted made me remember what may be the actual worst video of all time. Really all of his videos are so bad they almost seem like a parody, but he was super serious about all of it lol
He used to have an active comments section but he turned it off because most of the comments were from people saying he makes the videos in his mom’s basement.
Last I saw it isn't actually clear whether or not Fadades is parody or legitimate. Very clear in any either case that Fadades is great.
Especially within a genre like black metal where bands will make contra-conventional artistic decisions by way of course as it is, stumbling upon a vibe like this out of honest artistic expression vs. deriving it with a manifest ambiguity where the tongue seems to sprout from the cheek almost hardly matters. However Fadades came to be, it's a monument to whatever it actually is.
This song is seriously in one of my playlists 💀 (“Music type 1 Mk4 S2”), though I have already considered moving it to playlist “Music out of directory” which is used for a mix of stuff.
