   Perhaps the difference here is that the music is the “pro” content and the video is just window dressing? Maybe these guys knew something that we are now only rediscovering — stick to what you are good at and fake your way through the rest. And yes, I said Hall and Oates are pros at music … I loved the 80s too!

   Remember all the excitement over Aha’s Take On Me video? Back then, most videos looked like this ^ and Aha was daringly edgy and creative. Then again, Queen’s Bo Rap had set a standard that no-one even tried to match for an age.

   Love the neo-rockabilly hair on the kids at the end.

   Can’t resist linking to the great back alley songwriting duel:

   @Cole:
   See Brian’s video link–now there’s a good video, with some awesome music as well

   @Ed:
   The hair makes the video, and I’m kind with Cole, I often think of this song when I am wrestling down my two kids, what strikes me as odd about the video though is it seems it’s about a dude who might just have an affair or walk out—here t is simply about a dude who might go to the hairdresser with his family. I would lose this this subtle interpretation of the song without the video.

   @Brian:
   Where do you find this shit, that is the funniest thing I ever saw. And I had no idea Oates was such a king-fu bad ass. Yacht Rock! IS that a term that comes from the cheesy compilation cassettes in the late 80s? Brilliant!

   Brian, that’s beautiful, man. The raw power of really smooth music.

   Also, never forget that librarians wanna have fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPhM7JbsgxU

   You bastard, I hadn’t thought of this song in decades, and it’s been stuck in my head since I read your post.

   Yacht Rock is some of my favorite comedy of the past few years, brilliant concept, some amazing lines. I recommend starting at the beginning (which means scrolling to the bottom of the page):

   The first five episodes are sheer brilliance. After that it’s hit and miss…

   @Brain … that Yacht Rock is unreal! Can’t stop watching … damn, that’s some good stuff!
