Ten Music Videos featuring Bears

1. Black Milk - "Sunday's Best/Monday's Worst" 2013  Out of the ten, this is my favorite.

2. 50 Cent feat. Kendrick Lamar - "We Up" 2013  Not surprisingly, Kendrick's verse is the best part of the song. For me, 50 is kind of over. The 2003 "In Da Club" video was so fitting (pun intended) and memorable but this is just meh. I'm sure millions of people still like him, so I don't have to.

3. Lily Allen - "The Fear" 2008  British pop stars are so much classier than ours.




4. Macy Gray - "Do Something" 1999  It's good advice.

5. Bon Iver - "Calgary" 2011  Still love Bon Iver, no shame.

6. Ryan Hemsworth feat Lofty305 - "Against A Wall" 2013  There are bobble-boobs in this video, you'll see. I respect Ryan Hemsworth for getting himself out there, I just prefer to listen to something else.

7. Childish Gambino - "3005" 2013  When rappers have a bear, it's gets all Kanye pretty quick.




8. The 2 Bears - "Be Strong" 2010  The video is just so weird that I had to post even though the song is a little too...something.




9. Fearless Four - "Problems Of The World Today" 1983  "What if we got matching but not quite matching black and red jumpsuits? We'll look cool as hell." -fake internet quote




10. Kanye West - "Good Morning" 2007  Dropout Bear has his own Wikifur page. I didn't even know Wikifur was a thing.

8. Childish Gambino ft. Chance The Rapper - "The Worst Guys" 2014  *"Fuck it, let's get some babes and some chicken and film a music video at the beach. We'll act like we're surfing and shit, maybe do martial arts on the beach, have some lightup toys, it will be epic!"

9. Huey Lewis and The News - "Stuck With You" 1986  *Eighties stud meets girl with the biggest dress. This song is still goes.




10. Chet Faker - "Talk Is Cheap" 2014  *This water is frozen, but, it still totally counts. This reminds me of the "Sledgehammer" video.

Ten Music Videos featuring Skateboards

20 Skateboarding Music Videos YouTube Playlist is here.

1. Lupe Fiasco feat. Jill Scott - "Daydreamin'" 2006  *This is the only Lupe Fiasco song that I like.

2. Mayer Hawthorne - "Maybe So Maybe No" 2009  *Stephen King said this about Mayer Hawthorne's second album (this song is from his first album A Strange Arrangement):


I was first led to Hawthorne's blue-eyed soul by the bouncy tune "Your Easy Lovin' Ain't Pleasin' Nothin' " from A Strange Arrangement (catch the yummy video on YouTube). Is his stuff derivative? Sure, but anyone who can channel Barry White, the Five Stairsteps, and Curtis Mayfield with such perfection is close to, well… can you say "genius"? "  -from www.StephenKing.pl

3. Young MC - "Bust A Move" 1989  *This video has a pouty dancing girl, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the actor Max Perlich (on far right) who can be seen here Tony Hawk (second from left) and Christian Slater (center).

4. Air - "All I Need" 1998  *I'm pretty sure I had that same daybed when I was 13.

5. Lana Del Rey - "Video Games" 2011  *I don't really care what others may think of her, I think this song is beautiful.

6. Childish Gambino - "Fire Fly" 2012  *This song is pretty close to cheesy but still pretty good.

7. Mayer Hawthorne - "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" 2010  *The slow-motion skating is perfect for this song.

8. The Knife - "Heartbeats" 2003  *Great song with a great video. I feel like this is a band that people who work at music stores listen to.

9. Outkast - "Elevators (Me And You)" 1996  *This is from my favorite Outkast album.

10. Massive Attack - "Unfinished Sympathy" 1991  *I will go to Bristol. Classic music staples and new favorites all coming from the same area. It will happen.
