YOU CAN BE A ROBOT TOO
Few things are as beautiful as this. If anyone knows anyone who was a part of making this happen, please let me know. I'm serious...

This is the greatest Prince cover I ever heard! Or at least, I assume it is.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually by Midnight Star.
ReplyDeleteThis video however is miles better than the official one imo :p
Beat's the crap out of "Psalty"...

ReplyDeleterobot rock
Are we not men?!
ReplyDeleteThat song rules - the Wiz inspired robot however, not so much!
ReplyDeleteSince nobody has pointed this out yet:
ReplyDeleteThis is from a particularly insane episode of "Kids Incorporated". The show was about a band of pre-teen kids who did covers of popular songs. The bar(!?) in which they performed was ran by a guy who was also a wacky inventor, and the silver robot was one of his inventions. The show's producers loved the hell out of all the magical video effects of 1985, so it could supply EIT with fodder for *years*.
Thanks for reminding me to take my antipsychotics.
ReplyDeleteKids Incorporated, might I add, also starred such celebs as Fergie, Mario Lopez and Jennifer Love-Hewitt (uh...I know I said "celebs", sorry).
ReplyDeleteThey covered all of the most popular music that the kids love, like Huey Lewis and the News and The Cure and The Alan Parsons Project.
Yessss...I recognized it as an episode of Kids Incorporated!!
ReplyDeleteHow sad is that?
must... not... push... yellow... button...
ReplyDeleteI actually somewhat jammed to this song! It had a kind of early Gary Numan thing going on.
ReplyDeleteBut anyways, yeah. It'll most likely haunt my dreams.
"Robots"... doing "The Robot"?
ReplyDeleteIs there anything LESS creative than that?
Good god, don't forget Martika, kicklecubicle.
ReplyDeleteI think it is transcendent
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember Kids Incorporated having a time travel episode and them deciding at the end that they liked the 80s better because they had, now get this, air conditioning in cars!
ReplyDelete(head smashing against wall)
Yall's posters have really been rockin'!
ReplyDeleteAnd so does this video. Some colanders, spray paint, and some scaffolding can sure go a long way.
should be on epicwinftw.com
ReplyDeleteI like this video. It was fun to watch.
ReplyDeletemidnight star...
ReplyDeleteYou know what's really weird? For one of the videos for "Freakazoid," the dorky guy who gets TRON-itized into the sexy computer world (Ooh! Sexy Polygons!) looks suspiciously like a young Daniel Quinn, of "Scanner Cop" fame. Here it is on youtube:

ReplyDeleteyou want to see terrible: later on when they kept on with Kids Inc. way after it should have been cancelled (like 1993-ish,) the actress Ashley Johnson (as in youngest sister Chrissy from Growing Pains) was on it. They had her sing the song "This Time" by Janet Jackson, from her album "janet." That song wasn't even a single, AND it's extremely sexually explicit ("You run around with them nasty hos, how long did you think I would take this?") So they just changed around the lyrics.
ReplyDeleteAgain. Little Chrissy from Growing Pains singing an obscure, sexually explicit Janet Jackson track. YouTube it. It's PAINFUL.
