ARVMAs

So the time of year is rolling around when MTV does their ridiculous and silly little Video Music Awards. If award shows were high school, the VMAs are like the attention whore, always bragging about the shocking things they're going to do, to the point where you don't notice that...hey, nothing big actually happened. Sucker!
The nominees don't actually reflect the average teenager's tastes, at least I hope to Jesus Christ that it doesn't. Avril Lavigne always seems to end up with awards and I don't know anyone who would admit to liking her.
Don't panic, I'm here to help!
The newfound Ashcan Ratings Video Music Awards does not focus specifically on the current year. There are no limitations!
You probably won't agree...tough. But you will enjoy!

Sexiest Choreographed Dance Routine: the Arctic Monkeys "Brianstorm"

If I could dance, I would devote my time to learning this dance and performing it as much as possible. These girls look so much hotter than the bored video hos that you can tell are mentally adding up the money theyre making for this as the halfheartedly grind on some random rapper. You can tell that they can dance and their routine goes so well with the song.
Bonus points for the maximal use of hair flailing!
Best Facial Expressions: Prince "Black Sweat"

Particular highlights are the first five seconds, 0:30, 1:09, the absolute cheekiest is at 1:12, 2:05, 2:18, 2:47, 2:51, and possibly the greatest facial expression ever performed (probably the wrong word) by Prince, at 2:59.
Does he practice in the mirror??? He must!

Best Spontaneous Male Dancing; Best Chalkboard Drawing: J. Geils Band "Centerfold"

Peter Wolf and his dancing skills are so sexy.

Best One Minute and Forty Five Seconds of Onstage Celebration of Extreme Funkiness: Parliament Funkadelic's Mothership Connection

For the full effect, watch the whole clip, but the first 1:45 are the crucial bit. Glenn Goin's gorgeous gospel scream cuts through the chaos (I could listen to the first ten seconds again and again for hours) and a life-sized spaceship lands onstage, bearing George Clinton, as Dr. Funkenstein. Justin Timberlake doesn't do that, now, does he?

To be continued...

WAT said...

THE MTV VIDEO MUSAK AWARDS just aren't what they used to be. Hell, MTV itself ain't what it used to be. They actually used to show music videos believe it or not! LOLOLOL! Yes, way before your time. Just listen to old dated me talking this way.

Anyway, I'll try and watch the awards show nonetheless. Or did I miss it already?!

That video (Arctic Monkeys) is eye candyyy

alexgirl said...

Awesome! I totally love your version of the VMAs. I think you should definitely practice dancing like the Arctic Monkeys dancers and wow your teachers on the first day of school.

Alison said...

I love the first video, I'm so bored of girls just slithering around in music videos, pretending to be "dancing".

maya said...

Such a good idea! I completely agree about the VMAs but I do think the Kanye West grabbing the mic thing at the VMAs is quite funny. But actually come to think of it I'm not even sure that that was at the VMAs.

jackie said...

No one knew him; indeed, he was naturally enough mistaken for a prosperous gambler, a not unflattering http://startso11.info/www.pgkrynica.pl.html supposition.. Why, they complain that there's a lot o' rye http://startso11.info/wwww.bledow.pl.html on the premises, he answered, pointing to a field of that grain--and hobbled away, his shoulders shaking with laughter, as he went.. For example, it is true that it is possible to fall out of a window, and http://startso11.info/grafika+weselna.html that some care must be exercised when one is near a window, but it is inexplicable why the anxiety in the corresponding phobia is so great, and why it follows its victims to an extent so much greater than is warranted by its origin.. The wants of life first manifested themselves to it in the http://storyah44.info/rejsy+popochylniach.html form of the great physical needs.. My friends seemed to think it was I; but I felt, that, as Dennis had done the popular thing, he was entitled to the honor; so I sent him to Augusta when the time came, and he took the oaths. http://startso11.info/wtk+anwil.html. The question of the unconscious, in psychology is, according to http://startso11.info/wcdsaztr.html the authoritative words of Lipps, less a psychological question than the question of psychology.. After having cleared up many things which I do not willingly acknowledge as mine, I should have much to reveal which had http://startso11.info/kurs+instruktorski+z+tenisa+ziemnego+ambro%C5%BCy.html better remain my secret.. If we do not find a large http://startso11.info/hurtownie+drobiu+i+mi%C4%99sa+w+lublinie.html party at Mrs.. Ah! here http://startso11.info/rezerwy+pogoni+szczecin.html comes the man that was sent to Mrs.. Now you look here, sonny, http://startso11.info/Bioetyka+Agata+Strz%C4%85da%C5%82a.html he said, in the dry-goods store, I'm conducting this revival, an' I don't need no help in my line.. Then he reaches down and feels for his feet, and meanwhile (he does not http://startso11.info/www.wyniki+testu+gimnazjalnego.pl.html know how) he takes his legs out of the crucible, and then again he says to himself, That cannot be.. Critical was the situation with Major Talbot and http://startso11.info/waldemar+biernat.html Miss Lydia.. But when the dream process becomes a content of perception http://startso11.info/www.szkoladobrzen.pl.html it has, so to speak, eluded the obstacle set up in the Forec.. One candle in http://startso11.info/muza+brodki.html three rooms is drearier than darkness anyhow.. Without an analysis, and merely by means of an assumption, I took the liberty of interpreting a little occurrence in the case of a friend, http://startso11.info/moma.html who had been my colleague through the eight classes of the Gymnasium.. On account of poliomyelitis a girl, not quite four years of age, was brought from the country into town, and http://startso11.info/jart.html remained over night with a childless aunt in a big--for her, naturally, huge--bed.. Yet Sim held up as http://startso11.info/o.2.html well as he could, and after dinner followed Marann with some little dignity into the parlor.. A dress-rehearsal occupied the afternoon before the day of days, and the pathetic expostulations of the lovely Mary-- Mine all doth http://storyah44.info/pks+przemysl.html hang--my life--my destiny-- Upon my words--upon the force of tears!-- aided by the long veil, and the emotion which sympathy brought into Ellen's countenance, proved too much for the enforced prudence of Master Horner.. In the words of Lipps, the unconscious must be accepted as the general http://startso11.info/rozek.html basis of the psychic life.. But it was not to prove this theory that we have http://startso11.info/Wyszukaj+e-s.html adduced the phenomena of the dream and of the hysterical symptom formation; the observation of normal life alone suffices to establish its correctness beyond any doubt...

Avril Lavigne always seems to end up with awards and I don't know anyone who would admit to liking her.

Ahem.
Just kidding, but she is one of my guilty pleasures.

The ARVMAS are much, much better than the real thing.

MARRIAGE. Fo'sho. Seriously. I think we should set up in a sexless marriage and you can have an affair with Prince on the side and I can have an affair with Clive Owen on the side and you, me, Clive and Prince can go out for waffles and it will be FABULOUS. We will live in an igloo in Canada with pimped-out leopard print carpets. Yes?

Emma said...

You know what my sexless marriage wives do?
They UPDATE.
I know I haven't updated either, though. I have been fiendishly busy planning the wedding.
Clive wants to wear nothing but a fig leaf over his manly bits. I told him it was okay.
I assume Prince will be wearing a raspberry beret? And nothing else? And maybe a "I HEART MOLLY" sign on his chest?
