Sophie Muller has made most of the Eurythmics' videos, and done most of Annie Lennox's solo video's as well. This gem dates back to 1987, and is all around nifty. Annie is a total stud. And can't we all relate? I mean, I know that when the housework is getting me down, a nice pair of pumps and a blond wig can turn everyday monotony into a real party. For one. Alone in my apartment. Just me, the pumps, and a shiny new bottle of Windex. No, I'm serious.
I've always loved this one. It's off Nelly Furtado's least successful album, her sophomore effort 'Folklore.' Her video's have never been that great, and since she got her brain fried and thinks she's Paris Hilton, they've gotten awful. But once upon a time, Sophie Muller made her a video, and it was good. Oh well, at least she used to be cool. Not to mention her total hottie husband she's stranded with in that colonial wasteland. Poor Nelly Furtado...stuck in the wilderness with a model and several designer gowns...I really do pity her.
Gotta love the chicks. I always kinda loved the chicks. Then they got all 'fuck-you-rebel-bitch-queen-diva-politics' and I loved them more, so much that I started talking about it. Then they won Grammys, lots of them. So, in honor of said chicks, and the aforementioned lovely Sophie Muller, I give you a super excellent Dixie Chicks video that makes superb use of black eyeliner.
Also, the grammys:
Another unlikely and throughly un-American pop star is one Miss Lilly Allen. She's adorable and her crazy British bubble gum reggae is unique and nifty. On top of her fantastic lyrics and songs, she's hired Sophie Muller to make her a Kelly Clarkson-esque heroine in her first video. Watch and compare.
Also, fair warning that this kicks off a binge of Sophie Muller's videos, which are usually stupendous. The whole idea of a Sophie-thon was given to me by my arch nemesis blogger, over at the living laboratory
Mika is blowing up very quickly and I just wanted to do my fair share to make sure that happens to its fullest extent. This isn't the next video I was intending to post, but he's so damn adorable that I had to. I highly recommend his album, which I acquired today. 
It's all over the place and yet remains incredibly 'pop' the whole time. Other than accompanying an incredibly infectious song, the video is nothing too amazing. Although it is making me have these "do i want to be him or do I want to do him?" feelings that I haven't felt since about 7th grade. Hope you enjoy, and tune in tomorrow the promised excellent editing.
