Is anyone really watching the video? Are they seeing the animated Reilly kicking a moose in the face and chopping cows in half with his foot? That alone is worth a couple lol's.
Plus, making fun of Meg White's drumming (however subtly) is always relevant.
you are...forgiven?
honest mistake. it is a ridiculous line that bears repeating. the most ridiculous in the whole Shakira catalogue (which might be saying something if I actually knew more than 4 Shakira songs) but i think this blows "not confusing my small and humble breasts with mountains" out of the water.
a-whoooOo!
I found the real thing here: http://www.aceshowbiz.com/video/download/00009362/
but it'll probably disappear by the time I post this. Why all the secrecy about this video? it's like it's the leaked video of the latest "Harry Potter and the Paris Hilton Sex Tape" movie or something. Or maybe Shakira is so embarrassed by this song/video she doesn't want anybody in America to know it existed.
Anyways, more than the spasm-y dancing and questionable costumes, I have always found that Shakira's similes and metaphors are the most entertaining part of her music. "I'm starting to feel a little abused like the coffee machine in an office"...WHAT?!?!
To be honest, I would love to watch this kid "acting the fool". I feel like he could pull it off just as well as this. Maybe he'd do that Snoop Dogg country song and make it even more ridiculous!
That's some gathering-ready Wicked Shit right there.
seriously though...he's got pretty cool parents and he gets awesome credits for remembering every word...even I don't know all the words to this song by heart, and I just got my Johnny Cash-elors' Degree.
Why is nobody else acknowledging the perfectly random but amazing placement of the entire Teen Witch rap? Has that stone been squeezed dry and bloodless already? Is it because it's not Kenneth?
Sad day for Teen Witches everywhere.
There were two kids in my high school who were hardcore Juggalos; had every album, knew every song, would paint their face whenever they could. One started a rap group called the Nocturnal Ninjas.

The other is a manager at my hometown Taco Bell.
Which one made the wiser decision? You be the judge.
Yeah, unfortunately it's mine too. Now it's my turn to be embarrassed and proud simultaneously.
Couldn't it have been their dumbass sports anchor, at least? (he really is a dumbass. I have a long story about him that includes him mistaking the word "syllabus" for "thesaurus" at a writer's workshop...again, long story).
Couple of things: I like how the drummer/singer is clearly not even attempting to recreate his actual playing (or the obviously sampled drummachine pattern) but rather punching the snare drum with his fists.
I also found it hilarious how during the breakdown section they are all totally "dropping their assez to the floor" Lil-Jon-style.
And they way the screamer pronounces the following words, because I'm positive they've never been screamed in a screamo song before:
freckles
speculate
puzzles
persistent
"with the window down"
plus, you know, what you all said already: how much it sucks.
in all fairness, I do talk like that in real life. I get very riled up about that particular roommate. (the guy left me post it notes on a daily basis). You're right though, quite questionable indeed. Unfair of me to burden you all with my rage.
Much like Christianity and Star Wars, I don't hate Family Guy, just its fans.
The show itself is terrible, yes. But I could live with the fact that it's terrible if FG fans weren't so goddamn annoying. I haven't seen a full episode since my college freshman year roommate would watch multiple episodes on DVD WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND THAT WAS THEIR DATE HOLY SHIT.
But while I was reeling in horror that this was his idea of "romance", a couple of jokes at least managed to get me to crack a smile. Even a stopped watch covered in shit is right twice a day.
The worst part of the pop culture jokes is that they go so obscure, that they become people's frame of reference.
Instead of "Oh yeah, Randy Newman, the Oscar award winning Songwriter and brilliant satirist"
It becomes "Oh yeah, Randy Newman, that dumb old guy on Family Guy who sings about whatever he sees and has a funny voice".
But yeah, people who love Family Guy, quote it incessantly, do Stewie impressions and drink the MacFarlane Kool-Aid basically suck.
"Dreamgirl...you my fantasy..."
This album was kind of "meh" for me in comparison to E's other work, but this is one of the few songs that stood out. I dig the chords and the constant ride cymbal throughout.
This video reminds me of MM's "Ocean Breathes Salty" video a bit. They both have amazing lighting and landscapes.
I dig it.
"Chex mix.... you're the snack for me...."
