SJ.com old school: BYH & Bubs riff on MTV Classic

Good Lord look at these fashions. People had to be higher than kites to wear this shit without any self-awareness.

 

I'll bet the rest of The Cars wondered how Rik Ocasek became the face of the band by this point. The camera doesn't exactly make love to him.

He was basically the co-lead singer in the early days.

The rest of the Cars are doing some funny fake rock 'n roll trolling of sorts. Oh this is my only camera shot? I'm going to SPREAD IT ON!

 

Ric Ocasek is Donald Trump and his voters are the ones believing they too can walk on water like their faux icon only to find out they can't and that they are gonna drown MY THINK PIECE:

 

What the fuck is this, a second Pet Shop Boys video? This is worse than XM playing the same band twice in 90 minutes.

 

It's Pet Shop Boys Night! (If they played all the bullshit songs that have dated poorly.)

This is like Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" and "The Name Of The Rose" had a baby.

 

What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this.

 

Someone gave the Pet Shop Boys way too much money to make this video. This is like watching a Ken Russell movie without any nudity to give it redeeming value.

 

People made fun of metal videos. The sword-and-sorcery shit from Dio and Def Leppard.

This is just as bad. Ominpotent dudes in hoods. People in cages. Fuck you, Pet Shop Boys.

 

Rick Astley was a response to The Pet Shop Boys. I have nothing to back that up. It just seemed like a cool thing to type.

 

This works for me. #RetroHotTakes

 

Hey Adam Curry, use your spirit animal, your essence or whatever and make them play something worth a damn.

 

Yes but INXS' "Listen Like Thieves" pulled this off.
