Melyssa's Chalk

With all the recent stir from the Kanye West, Taylor Swift and Beyonce incident, we haven't heard a whole lot about the real purpose of the VMAs and that's the videos themselves. Music videos have changed dramatically since they killed the radio star a couple years ago. The effects, the dancing, the costumes and the stories. Almost anything has become possible. From Michael Jackson dancing with zombies in "Thriller" to Britany Spears nearly nude in "Womanizer." The awards show on Sunday was devoted to "The Best" videos in a variety of categories. Have you ever considered the worst video? If you search for "worst video ever" in YouTube, you get this:



I personally don't think this is the "worst" video ever. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty terrible (note the dancer carrying what looks like a cat at around 2:06) but it's probably the best cheesy video I've ever seen, it should at least win that award. Beyonce and her dancers have nothing on this dance crew. I also wish that bell bottoms and low, low, low cut v-neck shirts on men were still a fashion trend. Just kidding. And don't forget the forever classic "couple drive away in floating car." What does all of this have to do with the VMAs? Absolutely nothing, I just really want everyone to watch this video and have a good giggle. Hopefully when music videos have gotten out of hand, because there's a good chance they will, we will still have simple little gems like this to bring us back to reality.
