Friday Night Videos

Most of the videos I post on Fridays are 15-20 years old. That was the golden age of MTV, after all, and coincided with my formative teen and college years when videos were "cool" and my life revolved a great deal around music. Even though MTV doesn't actually air music videos anymore, there are still pretty cool ones coming out every once in a while. Case in point: Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice." I've never worshiped Christopher Walken the way some folks do, but I'll admit "Needs more cowbell" is one of the best lines to come out of Saturday Night Live over the past 20 years and in this video he's just frellin' awesome. Plus, any song that references Dune in such a hip way certainly deserves bonus points.

    Chris Walken is a very accomplished dancer. His routine in the old Steve Martin movie "Pennies From Heaven" was amazing (and very, very funny.)
