Videographic

The silliest music videos, anyone? Here's my pick.


1. 'Your Disco Needs You' by Kylie Minogue

And this drag-queen-celebration comes from the woman who gave us Can't Get You Out Of My Head! Probably the gay anthem of the millenium, but its so damn catchy...


2. 'Physical' by Olivia Newton John

I love this song, but the video remains one of the biggest laugh riots I've ever been through, and its not a thing to boast of. The video, however, does match up to the song's brazen-ness, considering the time frame in which it was launched. A cultural landmark, then, now, forever.


3. 'I'm Too Sexy' by Right Said Fred

How much worse can it get? I don't even have the wits to comment.


4. 'Boom Boom' by Nazia Hassan

We all love Indipop (or atleast I do), but this video is a perfect weapon - in case you ever want to prove to your elder brother/sister who was a teen in the 90s that his generation is more stupid than ours. 


5. 'I Want to Love You Tender' by Armi ja Danny

The video compliments the song in its stupidity. Even beats it. But those extras are the best ever! Am I the only one, or does the song feel like a Revolutionary Russian Song adapted to a ballad?


6. 'Hooked on a Feeling' by David Hasselhof

Hooga Hooga Ooga Chaka? Yup. Looks like the Hof left his brains inside Pamela's implants.


7. 'The Music's No Good Without You' by Cher

Yes, she's a diva, but this... (oddly, it feels slightly inspired by 'Made in India')


8. 'Tunak Tunak Tun' by Daler Mahendi

An ode to the Punjabi Paunch; and a  million questions. Including why on earth the background features the St. Basil's Cathedral.


9. 'Rock the Casbah' by The Clash

Ah, Americans... 


10. 'I Am A Disco Dancer' by Mithun Chakraborty (The singer can go to hell)

And here's the crowning glory. Words escape me. I can only thank (?) the friend who made me sit through this.
