Mad Capsule Markets - Pulse

Maybe five years ago, I was flicking through music channels late at night, playing my ‘game’ where I can only go to bed when I haven’t seen anything I like for a complete cycle, and I came across this video around a third of the way in.

I didn’t know who it was, who they were, what the hell they were singing about, but I loved it.  I stayed to the end and have loved Mad Capsule Markets ever since.

The Pharcyde - Drop

One of my favourite music videos…ever!  I don’t know why I thought about this over the weekend, but I did.  I haven’t seen it or heard the song for a few years.

Directed by Spike Jonze, cameos and a sample from the Beastie Boys, filmed in reverse, and they actually learned the song backwards!  What’s not to love?

There’s a sweet link on this YouTube page with more information, including a scan of Spike Jonze’s original treatment for the video.  Definitely worth a read.

Notes

Since I first heard Weezer’s new single a few days ago, I’ve been humming it and singing it in my head quite often. (Welcome back, Weezer?)

But the weird thing is, every time I get to the chorus, I sing the first line from Pork And Beans, but then I segue to the second line of the chorus to the Black Kids’ I’m Not Going Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You, so what I end up singing is

“I’m going to do the things that I wanna do

I’m not going to teach him how to dance with you”

and from then on in, I’m singing the Black Kids.

This happens every time I sing it in my head and I don’t know how to make it stop.
