AIT Music Video of the Week: Hip To Be Square
Dec 30th
Unfortunetly Vimeo doesn’t have this and YouTube won’t allow me to embed it. So, instead, I had to choose between Dailymotion and LiveVideo, both of which have intermittent problems with the player.
The reason for the choice? This random picture I made with Mr. A-Ngoi-Ing.
I bet you are thinking WTFITS?
AIT Music Video of the Week: Oasis
Dec 26th
Sorry for it being a few days late this week – the reason is due to the development of “Meetspin” and Christmas.
This video needs no explanation. Sheer shock value was the reason we sung this song. And for all you cheapos heading out to the sales to get a bargain: good luck. Maybe next time buy it earlier and don’t be so cheap!
AIT Music Video of the Week: To Be Or Not To Be (The Hitler Rap)
Dec 16th
This really needs no explanation. Just watch it. However, musically, the 12″ mix available here is nicer. Although, in case you didn’t know, I should mention now I am also famous for my comedic Hitler impersonations which ridicule the fuhrer. This contributes to the choice…
AIT Music Video of the Week: Together Forever
Dec 9th
Yes, yet again good ‘ol Rick makes another appearance. The two reasons for the inclusion of this song are “rick-mania” (of which I suffer) and Val’s experience. After requesting a different and perfectly normal song on Mix 94.5, she ends up with this being played. Poor girl.
Apologies for using Vimeo, but Sony has blocked Rick on YouTube. It’s a shame, as I can’t show you the preferred 12″ Lover’s Leap remix, however this crappy version of it remains there.
AIT Music Video of the Week: I Touch Myself
Dec 2nd
Sadly EMI has restricted the use of the offical video such that this is the best “embeddable copy”. You can see the original here. I think the reasons here are fairly obvious for the song’s inclusion – it is often used to make others feel uncomfortable. To sum up this song, I’ll quote this conversation between me and a friend when he saw it on the TV at Pot Black last year for the first time.
*Song starts and super displaying title pops up*
H-dog: Oh no, surely this song can’t be about what i think it is?
Tris: Yes, it is
*chorus plays*
H-dog: Oh, come on, seriously, as if this would get released. *pause* This is awesome!
*everyone stops and watches the video*
AIT Music Video of the Week: Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick
Nov 23rd
Hit me slowly, hit me quick! I’m hitting you with this post quickly (in that I am writing it quickly). This song is brilliant in many ways which is why it became a popular song featured in AIT (and yes a compilation will be coming out with them all on when I finish adding all the songs) . The catchy semi-disco tune went along with the theme of the rest of the songs which we liked for the similar melody, however the hilarious and now politically incorrect and suggestive lyrics were the main reason for our love of the song.
AIT Music Video of the Week: Never Gonna Give You Up
Nov 16th
Tris Astley
Oh Never Gonna Give You Up, the only song and video that I will indeed never give up. As evident by my “Tris Astley” costume (see right), my blasting of this song to the four corners of the globe knows no bounds. Since I seem to be making a lot of lists recently, here is one of “Ways and Places Rickrolled”, as I am the one to not let an old joke die.
- On a boat (and don’t you ever forget it)
- On a dancefloor
- In an exam (make that three, including the directions to do the hand-shuffle)
- To friends so many times its not even “so bad its funny”
- To the Sydney Church of Scientology
- Via a Webcam
- Through the first letter of each line of a letter (you know what I mean)
- Covertly in many presentations
- Via a Counter-Strike script
- By making it an answer to a statement or question (I’m never gonna give you up, baby)
- Whenever a partial lyric is accidentally or coincidentally spoken or written
- In binary on a shirt collar (already enough images today, sadly)
- Any other place and time possible
And the list goes on and on… where do you like to Rickroll?
AIT Music Video of the Week: What is Love?
Nov 9th
I don’t know, what can I do, what else can I say but that this song was sung so many times this year it ain’t funny.
