Bilbo Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 We have a rule in our house. If there is anyone in a music video who is dancing in their pants, we turn it over. The rationale is that, if an artist has to resort to that kind of thing, the music must be a bit cack. As a result, I have completely lost track of all forms of contemporary pop music. No idea who any of these people are and what there songs are. It just occured to me that the 'pants' rule is a deal breaker and that most music video in the current era is all about titilation, not music.

skankdelvar Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Do you mean pants in the British or in the American sense, pants meaning 'trousers' when articulated in a stateside stylee? Dancing while wearing trousers seems to me to be an inexceptional modus operandi. In any event, you don't need pants. 'Modern' music videos may be eschewed simply because modern music is universally awful thus rendering the pants discriminator redundant except if used as a handy visual indicator of the production date of said video, retro or period settings notwithstanding.

stingrayPete1977 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 As a self diagnosed pervert I love a pop song accompanied by moving images of ladies in their undercrackers, there's a decent tune tucked away sometimes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I can't speak about the videos, but much of pop music for the last 30 years has been pants anyway. I had the misfortune to be a passenger in a car with the radio tuned to radio 2 the other day. The Scottish guy going, Steve Wright on the journey back. What a load of absolute rubbish. I can't believe the number of elderly 'stars' who seem to have records put at the moment. It's coming up to Christmas I guess. Most weren't very good years ago. I mean, shaking Stevens !

rushbo Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 My favourite video of the last few years and one of my favourite songs too. No pants in this, I'm afraid. I don't think ambient will like it, either. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7hkO8v9aiI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they say someone's wearing pants and a vest they mean someone in a three-piece suit who's taken his jacket off. Anyway, I've decided I now like modern pop music. Spur of the moment decision.

lowdown Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 It seems the Brothers could see into the future. "The Louvin Brothers recorded "Wreck On The Highway" way back when. Interestingly, Ira Louvin died in an auto accident near Williamsburg, Missouri on June 20, 1965. Interstate 70 was being built at the time. Ira, his fourth wife Anne Young and another couple were on their way home from a performance in Kansas City when they came to a section of construction on Interstate 70 outside of Williamsburg where traffic had been reduced down to one lane. A drunken driver struck their car head-on. Ira, Anne and the other couple were tragically killed. Ira was aged 41 at the time of his death." http://youtu.be/vTJ-rBjpE4o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
