Nine Music Videos featuring Lazy Singers

*None of these artists are actually lazy, they or someone else is merely laying down in their music video.

1. Bruce Springsteen - "I'm On Fire" 1986  *This is an iconic Bruce video, the scene when he rolls out from under the car. Yeah.



2. St. Vincent - "Cheerleader" 2012  *I love her "Strange Mercy" song the most, but, this one is pretty good too. The video channels Gulliver's Travels.



3. Murs - "Bad Man" 2004  *Murs has made some pretty great music in the past, as lame as it sounds I stopped paying attention when his hair got like this.

That's not sexy.



4. Atoms For Peace - "Ingenue" 2013  *It's all Thom Yorke-y for sure.



5. Three Loco - "Neato" 2012  *This Andy Milonakis, Dirt Nasty, and Riff Raff video helps to show that there are truly many ways to live your life. It all seems very L.A., I'm from Seattle though so I'm not really sure what that means.



6. Ghostpoet - "Liiines" 2012  *This video has flying stuff like James Blake's "Limit To Your Love" video, cool.



7. Beyoncé feat. Sean Paul - "Baby Boy" 2003  *Beyoncé is the antithesis of lazy, but, she is laying down on the job.



8. The Roots feat. Erykah Badu - "You Got Me" 1999  *This is one of my favorite Roots songs for sure. These people are playing dead, which is not being lazy, just possum-like.



9. Hodgy Beats - "Alone" 2013  *Fortunately for us, Hodgy (22 years old) and his Odd Future friends are not lazy either. They have already accomplished more than most people have in their whole lives.

Ten Music Videos featuring Carnival Scenes

1. Aesop Rock - "Homemade Mummy" 2012  *I really don't like this song that much, however, I love this video because you can see Aesop Rock smiling.



2. Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Soul To Squeeze" 1993  *From the Coneheads soundtrack. This is one of my favorite RHCP songs because I was never into their earlier funky punky stuff.




3. Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam - "Lost In Emotion" 1987  *Full-on eighties carnival action.




4. Gang Starr feat. Nice and Smooth - "Dwyck" 1994  *Atlantic City is not a carnival, but, there is a ferris wheel.



5.  Huey Lewis and the News - "If This Is It" 1984  *I wonder if "The News" resented Huey because he didn't have to get buried in the sand.



6. Bruce Springsteen - "Tunnel Of Love" 1987  *He rhymes blouse with farmhouse. It totally works.



7. The Internet - "Cocaine" 2011  *I love that she is making music but cocaine is an ugly drug.



8. Stones Throw Singers feat. Peanut Butter Wolf - "Rain Of Earth" 2006  *I deeply appreciate Peanut Butter Wolf for his many talents and contributions. Singing is not one of the talents I am referring to.



9. Joan Osborne - "One Of Us" 1995  *Definitely NOT cool, but, it was probably scandalous when it came out (which can be cool).



10. Outkast - "The Whole World" 2001  *Not surprising that Outkast would have a carnival video.

Ten Music Videos featuring TV Screens

1. Foxygen - "Shuggie" 2012  *I love the first two minutes of this song, it kind of falls off after that.



2. Grand Puba - "I Like It" 1995  *Classic.



3. Portishead - "Glory Box" 1995  *This video is kind of boring even though everyone is in drag.



4. Gorillaz feat. De La Soul - Feel Good Inc." 2005  *I still love the whole animated band concept.



5. 2Pac - "Dear Mama" 1995




6. Bruce Springsteen - "Glory Days" 1985



7. Air - "La Femme D'Argent" 2008



8. Shlohmo - "Just Us" 2011  *This guy makes a ton of interesting music, here is the link to his Tumblr.



9. Gang Starr - "Full Clip" 1999



10. Hodgy Beats and Tyler, The Creator - "NY (Ned Flanders)" 2012  *Tyler as a baby is kind of scary.
