WTF Video, Turning Japanese

I think I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so.

WTF?!?

Actually I'm pretty sure what this is about, but when I first saw it...yeah, that didn't make much sense at all.

The Vapours present, "Turning Japanese".

WTF Video, Beds Are Burning

Today's WTF video comes to us courtesy of an Australian group that goes by the name, Midnight Oil.

Given the earlier post about Paul McCartney, I was quite tempted to post the video to his collaboration with a young Michael Jackson called Say, Say, Say...but even I have some limits.

WTF Video, Girls and Boys

The 80's didn't have a monopoly on WTF videos (Although I will admit, the sheer number of 80's videos makes WTF moments very easy to find). Today's entry is Good Charlotte's song Girls and Boys. Not only are there WTF moments in here, there's a great deal of truth being sung as well...at least as it applies to some.

WTF Video, Who Can It Be Now?

For various reasons, I've given the WTF Video and all other posting a rest for almost a week. Now it's back and badder than ever, with Men at Work's song, "Who Can It Be Now?"

Grab a vegemite sandwich and enjoy!

WTF Video, Everybody Have Fun Tonight

Today's WTF offering is from the group Wang Chung. If you are prone to seizure please don't watch this video...I beg of you. I don't want to be responsible for your hospitalization.




After watching this video again, is it just me or does the lead singer look like "Joe, All Star Quarterback from the University of Nebraska" from the movie "Team America"?

WTF Video, Tonight She Comes

Today's video is from, The Cars.

This band's album, Candy O was the first I ever owned. I pretty sure initially I bought it because of the Vargas painting on the cover.

This video is not so much WTF, but kind of quirky in the Rick Ocasek style. But it's close enough and hey they all can't be just out and out weird can they?

So here without further ado is The Cars music video, "Tonight She Comes".

WTF Video, Twofer Tuseday

Today's entry in the WTF sweepstakes is Duran Duran's song, "Electric Barbarella". In some ways it's not so much WTF but quirky and wierd...but that's close enough for government work. Enjoy!



On second thought we'll do a twofer Tuesday. I could post almost an enitre week of Duran Duran stuff...Rio, Hungry Like The Wolf, and this one "Girls on Film".

WTF Video, Twilight Zone

This video is an example that WTF doesn't necessarialy have to mean that it is stupid or bad. This video for the kick-ass Golden Earring song, Twilight Zone, has a plot and all sorts of twists and turns...I just dare you to tell me how or what exactly is occuring.

WARNING this video is NSFW as there is a scene in a hotel room that contains female nudity (bare breasts for about a nanosecond)...you've been warned!

Bonus WTF Video, Dare To Be Stupid



With a name like, "Dare To Be Stupid" how can you go wrong? Weird Al salutes DEVO, with this video that invokes WTF every bit as much as anything the plastic flower pot guys ever did.

WTF Video, Shock The Monkey

I think this is the first video I ever saw on MTV that I sat there and couldn't figure out what the hell it was about...just f'n strange. None the less every time it came on people sat there mesmerized as if there was something to be learned from this.

Peter Gabriel's "Shock The Monkey"

Sorry they (YouTube) disabled embedding so you'll have to click to see it.

Or maybe this will work...



I guess MTV is still good for something.

WTF Video, I Ran



Next up in the string of WTFidness, is the Flock of Seagulls song, "I Ran". I've got no story about this other than I remember being at a friend's house the first time I saw this video. It went down something like this:

Friend: WTF...come and look at this!

Me: What the HELL is that?

Friend: I don't know...is that a guy or a girl?

Me: I don't know but if it is a girl I feel really bad for her.

As a reminder to some (this means you Kath) WTF means exactly that. It's something that makes you say to yourself or out loud WTF. That in and of itself does not mean that the song itself is bad or good, just that the video has caused you to exclaim however briefly WTF. Enjoy!
