I know it’s not Charlottesville, but it’s just so bad I thought you needed to watch it.

Samwell - What What (In the Butt)

    I’m gonna add this to the post. I don’t know if the video is actually worse. The song is.

    this thread got me thinking about other bad techno songs that i for some reason liked back in the day. this being another ‘good song, horrible video’ candidate…

    Oh cmon give Shamen a break. It was 1991, I was in high school, raves were actually cool, and there was FAR worse dance music than this at that time. 2 legit to quit, anyone?

    Best early 90s techno song ever? KLF - What Time is Love?

    Hey c’mon it was the “i don’t know when’s” and ennuciation was out, and mysterious pink star trek dopplegangers were all the rage.

    No yatta or chocolate rain, please… too common.

    Or perhaps, for the uninitiated, the dreaded “Pickle Surprise”?

    I wish I was still uninitiated. :P
    Actually, Move Any Mountain would be a good addition to the collection of songs I run to.

    ‘yo, is that you in the pink Star Trek uniform?

    B’yo… that ‘What What’ was OUTSTANDING…. fabulous chocolate starfish graphic intro.
    I am incensed at the ANTI-Shamen propaganda… I saw these guys live at Manchester University and got laid in the back of a Ford Transit afterwards. Fond memories indeed.

    did you know that the one of the 2 guys in the Shamen DIED making that video? No shit, he drowned, and they STILL used footage from the shoot.

    If you really want to see/hear something disturbing, check out his “Diary Of An Unborn Child.”

    sorry Floozy, not making it up. It’s presented slightly differently, but you can read a bit about the death of the lead singer while on the video shoot for Move Any Mountain on the Wikipedia page for the Shamen.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shamen

    (I know entirely too much about bad 80’s and 90’s music)

    Oh, and for the record, any video by Nelson that you can name is the worst evah.

    No offense VS but I could write an article for Wikipedia about a growth on my arse that sings the national anthem of Norway right now and it would become fact since Wiki is free range editing. It was not during the video, but while they were in La Gomera to shoot the video, which is without doubt the most God forsaken volcanic shit hole I have ever visited in my life. Small point but I am a pedant. Now Brandon Lee WAS killed during the filming of ‘The Crow’.

    For the record, I used to live one house away from Mr.C in Great Dunmow, Essex and probably know more about The Shamen/Prodigy than it would be wise to admit… yes a checkered past indeed.

    and the mystery unfolds…..

    The lead singer’s death is Shamen Knowledge 101, and actually, the Wikipedia has been shown to be about as accurate as the Encyclopedia Britannica.

    But, as we now know, not everything from Britain is accurate.

    Ja, vi elsker dette landet,
    Som det stiger frem,
    Furet, værbitt, over vannet,
    Med de tusen hjem.
    Elsker, elsker det og tenker
    På vår far og mor
    Og den saganatt som senker
    Drømme på vår jord,
    Og den saganatt som senker
    Senker drømme på vår jord,

    The hell with the Beaver dying in Vietnam urban myths or the Babel Fish translations. I bet none of y’all found out your 375 71 year old Uncle who died alone 2 days ago was a closet transvestite today. I didn’t think so. True biz.

    So B.Yo. enough w/ the angst and the what not. I’m older and weirder, can out sad ya in a duel and I’ll arm wrestle you for it. Or maybe just a hand of 5 card stud. Or a hug.

    Way too early in the week to be drunk posting.
