I'm gonna throw back today.
Say My Name by Destiny's Child
When they had way more than the final three of Destiny's Child. And the only one who got super famous is Beyonce (but I love Kelly's face when they do the thing at the end in the pleather) . The style in this video makes me laugh. It is so 2000 with the pants and that hair and the weird flowers on the jeans. This is still one of this groups most memorable songs. It really put them on the music scene and from there they only grew in popularity. It's pretty cool to look back at this video and remember when it came out. It's also sad that there are kids today that have no idea what this song is, much less this group. They know Beyonce (but who doesn't? It's Beyonce!)and they will never know this songs glory unless they take the time to find it or someone takes the time to show them.
The way the furniture moves in this video reminds me of Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai. I'd bet money that Destiny's Child took the inspiration or that whoever directed their video had the inspiration. This song is also pretty famous. It's not many people that don't know it. Somehow it's become a classic of sorts. I used to have shoes like his, except they were orange and red! Ah the 90's. It's always fun to look back and ask yourself, "What was I thinking?" And it's nice to realize that no matter what you are doing you will still look back and think that (at least when it comes to fashion). I have a friend in Memphis and I love him and he has the most rockin hair I've ever seen and only he would have the guts and the chic to pull it off. In 10 years, however, he will look back at some old photo album and say, "Oh my god! Look at my hair!" and he'll laugh and sigh. The funniest part will be the fact that he actually will have only upgraded his hairstyle and only because fashion is different now does the past look non-fashionable. (well in some cases, people really don't have any fashion sense.) But that's what makes life interesting right? Leave the same hair style for 40 years in the babies of the 30's. This is the 21st century and we like to be bold and stand out and change ourselves and our surroundings and our ideas. We like to try new things and take chances and make risky decisions. It's all about the ride, and mine will be an exciting roller coaster. What will yours be?
Watching these videos make me miss Pop Up Video. I hear that they have started Pop Up Video again, but I never watch MTv or VH1 because they never play music anymore. I know that is something that we all miss about MTv, is when it actually played music videos. To soothe all your sad, sad, Pop Up Video missing souls I'm going to include this little number. Another awesome 90's song, Fly by Sugar Ray. Even this video has a kind of weird room sequence with Mark McGrath jumping all over the walls and ceiling and doing a bit of break dancing. Don't try to say you didn't enjoy the video.
Happily,
