Oh man, my college roommate had long-standing personal beef with this dude. Embarassing on every level.
Hate the concept, too. Part of a long line of simpering-messianiasm videos running through "Billie Jean," your girl Jewel's "These Hands," and that Alicia Keys shit where she brings the dog back to life.
Also, this Me Phi Me shit has the dubious distinction of being the only video I that I can recall getting openly dissed on arrival by the normally avuncular Ed Lover. Back when it was on Yo MTV Raps! in ninety-whatever, Ed was all "Yeah, this video really sucks, but we're gonna play it, so here it go..."
For sheer aesthetic offense, "The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins" is up there. The Wallets' "Body Talk" is also pretty grueling. Rockadelic crate-staple Joe "King" Carrasco's "Party Weekend," too.
b4dash4 is the weirdest thing I've ever seen: is it from this planet? Who thought any of that was a good idea? From the matching orange twin/triplets to the Magyckal Black Boy storyline...the whole thing has me tripping out. Nobody involved in the making of this song or video was doing their job. WTF
Pussy Be Yankin is amazing. I'm completely uncomfortable the whole time. To the styling and costume departments: "winning."
OK, I wanted to post this one because of how fuckin bad the video is. The song gets a pass, but dear god, check out the video.
-Video has nothing to do with the song-check
-Random animals-check
-Clowns-check
-Hand puppets-check
-Ventriloquist w/dummy-check
-Sound stage set up to "look" like outside used instead of filming outdoors-check
-Lederhosen-check
It literally "has it all"

A very creepy and bad video.

Sockettes and shorts, chorus from hell, not a sign of life on one face, a voice a mother couldn't love and a jar of pickles
this is amazing.

Me Phi Me is horrible. Look at that.
Starship was a low blow.
So Cold In The D really is bad.
Gimme more!
Just stop by your local police station and register yourself now.
Yikes.

The song does NOT get a pass.
You're right about the rest, what a monstrosity.
