Phil’s Faves: Videos, February 5, 2012

This will be a personal weekly Top Ten list of what I consider to be the best videos currently available on TV. I don’t, as a rule, go searching for old music videos, so that’s why it will focus mostly on current or recent videos. For this category, I am also going to include any live performances on talk or variety shows that I see during the week.

1) “Somebody That I Used to Know”—This haunting song and video is great, but it should come automatically with therapy! I like it even if it still seems creepy…..
2) “Ours”—What everyday unsuccessful Taylor Swift might have looked like….
3) “Lonely Boy” —There’s not a lot to say about this video because “what you see is what you get.” I guess I’ll say I like his outfit. You know. White shirt, black pants….
4) “Heart on Fire”—This song keeps sounding better and better. Fortunately, I’m usually doing something when I hear it so the video doesn’t affect the listening experience. (Ha, ha!)
5) “Called in the Dark”—I was lucky enough to catch this one a couple of more times this week, but I don’t think it’s going to be around for long. The song isn’t very strong. The video, though, is sooooooooooooo cool!
6) “Cough Syrup”—Imagine that. A good song with a video to match! The song has a ton of hooks and the video is another one that features a Busby Berkeley swimming sequence. Not original, but good enough!
7) “Chip Away the Stone”Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, & Randy Jackson rocked this Aerosmith classic out on The Tonight Show!
8) “You Can’t Do That”—A live performance of The Beatles’ B-side of “Can’t Buy Me Love” filled the dance floor to capacity at Guy Hollerin’s in Ann Arbor last Saturday night. George Bedard and the rest of the band sounded great on this lesser known song and it serves as a preview for a Beatles show March 3 at The Blind Pig, also in Ann Arbor, where George tops off the event!
9) “Care”—This one’s losing whatever momentum it had……….
10) “Red Solo Cup”—Ditto from last week…………………………
