Music Match Christmas 2 – 3 Not so classic yet awesome X-Mas music videos / songs

12/24/201812/15/2018 Luigi Kawasaki

Music Match

There’s nothing better than some X-Mas music videos for Christmas and we need to update our playlists with new songs to share and this sequel to the original will be much better as it will feature some lesser known tracks that are not something you’d typically find but are cool in their own right. From wanna be pop-idols of the past to wanna be pop-idols of the present, we got a little bit of everything from different eras to mix things up, let’s get to it and get christmassy in here.

Aaron Carter feat Hilary Duff & Lalaine Vergara – I Want Candy. ( Filmed 22,Jan-2001.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLPpGKKV3s4

While not the official music video for the cover of I want Candy by Aaron carter who is the younger brother of Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter, this version was done for an episode of Lizzy Mcguire which explains the crappy quality of it here. Since the episode was holiday themed and they were filming a music video it fits here perfectly. I love the silver coat, the dark green crop top Christmas elves and even Lizzie’s and Miranda’s awful outfits which actually match between them but best of all is Matt Mcguire just random dancing that even Gordo can’t ruin it. The stage looks cool and the quick angle cuts make the song more tolerable as its constantly switching. I’m guessing the cop was trying to catch Lizzie but then shenanigans happened in the show which leads to him just being there. The cover is somehow not awful even if not a great version of I want Candy.

Music Match Halloween Music Videos Vol. 2

10/29/201810/29/2018 Luigi Kawasaki

Music Match

For Halloween we need more music videos and while I sometimes choose spooky music videos or the closest I can get to be in the spirit of Halloween, this time I decided to choose a little more parody since it’s specifically monster themed to change things up a bit and be a better fit for Halloween.

Bumps Gonna Goose Ya! ft. Jack Black (Goosebumps Music Video)

With Jack Black of Tenacious D who also plays R.L. Stine in the goosebumps movies we have this song that is somehow something that might even be too cheesy for the 90s but that’s exactly what they were aiming for. The song lyrics tries to shill the movie as well as name drop as many book titles as it can in 3 minutes in this rap song. THe music video is some awesome low budget scene in a library with cheap costumes and Slappy (who also sings) mixed with a few scenes from the movie here and there. The whole package somehow sells this god awful song and video.

Three Horror Themed Music Videos: Music Match Vol. 16

10/22/201810/21/2018 Luigi Kawasaki

Music Match

It’s October and we need to check out some horror themed Music Videos so here have 3 especially selected horror themed Music Videos. There really isn’t a lot of selection at least of quality that you can when it comes to horror themed music videos, so here we have a fun mix of horror themed that may be cheesy and fun or even a great one sneaked in at the end.

Murderdolls – Dead In Hollywood

Anyone remember the murderdolls? They tried to be a thing and I completely dismissed them but I can see where I went wrong now. Not really the type of music I”d ever care for but what I saw as trying too hard is actually just them trying to be more fun and theatrical and I can’t blame them. The band had Wednesday 13, members of Static X and Slipknot to make this horror-punk genre a thing. The band goes from playing in a hospital since they’re vampires I guess to a tv studio taping for whatever reason. Lyrics like “Hey Frankenstein, I heard you SUCK!” is what makes this worth remembering today.

3 Super Hero Music Videos for Music Match SuperHero ft Stone Sour, Seal, Filter & Crystal Method

10/01/201802/03/2021 Luigi Kawasaki

Music Match

Superhero movies were a thing that wasn’t so frequent back in the day and we’d only get one every other year but still big enough that it got a lot of promotion because theyw ere still iconic characters. The Fall is here so why not listen to some Autumn esque superhero music videos based on superheroes which isn’t really done anymore and that’s a shame. Not that any of these superhero music videos have much to do with the heroes themselves but that’s what makes them so much fun.

Stone Sour – Bother

Corey Taylor from Slipknot made his unmasked debut with this song that was promoting Spider-Man, most people were shocked and angry at the decision to do this “mainstream” project than more Slipknot and him taking his mask off than the Marvel connection but I’d argue that’s the biggest WTF moment with this decision. The song is an ok radio edit of a radio friendly song that besides some iffy lyrics isn’t so bad at all but the best part is that it has absolutely nothing to do with Spider-Man, not even random scenes from the movie as the only connection to the movie is that he wears a Spider-Man ring that is focused on plenty of times during the video which takes you off the mood of the video which shows a copy of Corey Taylor aging rapidly until he dies and becomes dust only to leave his spiderman ring which the young Corey Taylor puts on encompassing his own Spider-Man ring. Music from and inspired from Spider-Man? Exactly how?

Music Match Tomb Raider Music Videos ft Korn, U2, K.Flay

Music Match

Since it’s the time of being in a Tomb Raider mood let’s take a look at the 3 songs that had music videos to promote the 3 different movies that somehow none of them really represent Tomb Raider or Lara Croft very well. Three very different songs and their link to the movie and franchise they’re promoting is well let’s just take a look at them.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – U2 Music Video – Elevation (2001)

U2 recorded the song used to promote the first movie with Angelina Jolie and Bono really legitimized this video game character as something that could be a hit. The song is something that U2 would do and it’s a good song catchy radio friendly song even if not my style. The video is pretty cool wit the band playing in the city and random things flying from explosions as they “elevate” or float in the wild with plenty of slow motion made popular by The Matrix. The music video really has nothing to do with Tomb Raider and besides showing clips of the movie which sort of explains why the things are flying everywhere I guess. They couldn’t even get Angelina Jolie for the music video as the only scene where she’s in is from a body double just showing her back walking with the band.
