Mikey and MTV ...

   Thu, May 8, 2008 - 10:27 PM
So for a short break, Mikey and I were listening to iTunes. Dire Straits 'Money for Nothing' came on and he said he loved that song and started quoting someplace he heard the song on TV.

So I went to Youtube and found the video and played it for him. He thought that was great. So I looked up a few others ...

Thriller
Rock the Cazbah
Land Down Under
Take on Me
Hungy like the Wolf

I told him that this is the sorta stuff that played all the time on MTV back when MTV was cool. Mikey is pissed. He wants music videos back. He even tolerated all of Thriller and said MJ would probably be tolerable if he still looked like that .. AND he thought the dancing was pretty cool.
But he DID say we dressed funny back then.

Guess I"m not so old afterall eh? ;D

added:
So then I showed him
Lucky Star
Like A Virgin
We're Not Gonna Take It (which is where he went 'wtf')
Karma Chameleon
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Hot For Teacher
Pour Some Sugar on Me
Bark at the Moon

Mikey says I'm never allowed to tell him he dresses funny. Apparently my explaining that when I was in highschool I dressed like Madonna in the Lucky Star and LIke a Virgin video was bad.

hahah yeah, you killed any leverage you had to tell him about how he dresses by fessing up to THAT. And if that didn't do it, "We're not gonna take it" would have done the trick hahahaha

well at least there's a Ozzy tune in there, though not his greatest. Gotta get this kid into so harcore punk, metal, and thrash. (just my own personal take on music of that time)
