Blackmoor Vituperative

Serendipity is a curious thing. I was looking for the video for the Missing Persons song, “Destination Unknown”, (video), when I found a very different “Destination Unknown”, apparently by Crystal Waters and someone named Alex Gaudino. One word before I link to the video: this is not safe for work (NSFW). It doesn’t have nudity, but it is pretty racy (but no more risque than “So You Think You Can Dance”, in my opinion). Okay, you have been warned, here is the video. I did not embed it here, because, as I said, it is not safe for work, and I would hate to surprise anyone who clicked the video before reading this explanation.

I really like this video. The song is catchy, and it is really well arranged — the way it dies down, and then picks up. And the video itself, aside from the cheesecake factor, is really well done. Fading in on the drumming, or the girls in the marching band smacking their fannies in time to the clapping crowd. It really gets my feet tapping. And yes, of course it’s sexy, but it’s sexy without being vulgar (in my opinion). I am pretty easily turned off by vulgarity, but this is just… fun.

That’s my opinion, anyway.

Of course, watching YouTube is like eating M&Ms — you can’t stop at just one (or two). So here are a couple of gems from the Muppet Show that have a special place in my heart:

• The Cat Came Back
• You’re Always Welcome At Our House
