I Want My MTV!

Monday, November 24, 2008 By Mayer Danzig

Remember when MTV and VH1 used to play actual music videos? Well apparently the big-wigs at the music video channel discovered YouTube and thought, “hey, we should do this ourselves.” Here, here.

Having spent countless hours over the past week staring at my computer screen watching videos, I’m happy to a few choice blasts from the past.


“I’ll Be You” by The Replacements. A sentimental favorite. What’s with the suit, Tommy?

“No Myth” by Michael Penn. What IF Romeo wore black jeans?

Take On Me by a-ha. Haven’t we ALL fought our way out of a cartoon?

Word Up by Cameo. Word.

Cameo – More Music Videos

About the author:  Mild-mannered corporate executive by day, excitable Twangville denizen by night.
