The Greatest Video of All Time

Subjective opinion, of course.


"Brainwash" (1981), by the band Flipper. See it for yourself on YouTube. Opinions?

I don't get it. Or am I not supposed to anyways?

I used to frequent a bar where it was on the jukebox and because of the loop at the end every time someone played it, one of us had to go over and kick the jukebox to get it off. Never saw the video for it before; didn't know they made one. Thanks for posting.

It really is, isn't it? Back when (a few) videos could make viewers question.

Exactly that is the difference between The "meat" and the "mustard".

I remember watching that in the early 90's on Nickelodeon

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I saw it right before it was removed.

Then you noticed that it has themes within themes. It covers the more egregious aspects of early 1980s America. I was dipping my toe into the West Coast punk scene back then.

I'm sorry, but i wasn't alive for early 80's America.

Be happy for that. Except for (already dying) punk rock, there wasn't any need to be.

Here it is again for your viewing pleasure.

Done & done.

See, you're tempting me to post the saddest video ever ever, but so far I'm resisting. (And no, before you ask, it isn't from that stellar film "The Saddest Music in the World.)

80's punk? Because....?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Because some '80s punk rockers later became '80s rockabillys... and some of those dabbled in '90s neo-swing / lindy, which led them to experiment with vintage lifestyles...


Connections, man! Connections!


Here's the second greatest video of all time. Some of this band's fans probably ended up liking vintage as well. TRIVIA: the drummer choked to death on a sandwich. At least it wasn't drugs.
