Be My Girl. Please. I Beg Of You.

More video fun. I found this buried deep in a box in the back of a closet today. Back in 1992 I was taking some classes at UCLA and got hooked up with this video director from Germany. His name was Oliver. He was going to be shooting a video for this artist from Denver in the coming weeks and wanted to know if I could shoot it. I agreed. This turned out to be the sole reason I never got into making music videos. You have to spend 2 days listening to the same damn song over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over… With a piece of crap song like this it’s just brutal. Now, you’re only going to spend a few minutes watching this frightening thing but I had to spend two long days listening to this and watching this moron “act”. I hated every single moment of those two days. This led to a gig on a rap video which I’ll try and post a bit of some other time. Oh man, kill me all over again. You really have to watch it all just to see how many times you cringe. Like this guy would ever have a chance with her. Even on set she would have nothing to do with him. Please, don’t choke on your own vomit while you watch this skeleton from my closet. No tapping your toes or spontaneous dancing. I present to you… “Be My Girl”. Oh man, it’s bad.
