Ten Music Videos featuring Boats

Here's a YouTube playlist of ALL the Boat Music Videos I've found so far. #YouTubeNchill

1. DJ Vadim - "Black Is The Night" 2007 These people are on a boat and seemingly on drugs. This is one of those songs that I always put on mix cds when I want to show how much great music isn't played on the radio.

2. The Notorious B.I.G. - "Hypnotize" 1997 Biggie and Puffy immediately come to mind when brainstorming videos with boats in them.

3. Jennifer Lopez - "Jenny From The Block" 2002 I love the Beatnuts sample. She pretty much kicks ass, get it J. Lo.

4. The Lonely Island feat. T-Pain - "I'm On A Boat" 2009 This makes me cringe a lot. Andy Samberg is definitely cool though. Fortunately, this is supposed to be ridiculous...because it is. T-Pain is NOT COOL (all caps to be clear).

5. Depeche Mode - "Precious" 2005 Computer animated boats still count as boats. This is one of those new era Depeche Mode songs that is actually as great as their older stuff.

6. U2 - "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" 1984 My mom and uncles loved U2, so I got to listen to this a lot when I was a kid.

7. Angie Martinez, Lil Kim, Left Eye, Da Brat, and Missy Elliott - "Ladies Night" 1997 Ladies night starts out on the water of course.

8. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - "Can't Hold Us" 2013 Whoa, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are taking over the world.

9. George Michael - "Careless Whisper" 1984 In the song, he is talking about dancing. In the video, PEOPLE ARE DOING IT!

10. Culture Club - "Karma Chameleon" 1983 We may never know why they chose to make this video a period piece on a paddle boat.

Ten Music Videos featuring Bathtub Scenes

1. George Michael - "Freedom 90" 1990 *This is some iconic bathtub scene shit. The video also qualifies for Music Videos featuring Supermodels.

2. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Featuring Fences - "Otherside Remix" 2001 *I have a hard time driving by the lake just past Snoqualmie ski resort on I-90 without mentioning this video. I am totally into lakes with tree stumps in them. Macklemore deserves to be famous (for much more than the stumps).

3. Atmosphere - "Shoulda Known" 2008 *This video leaves me with that "I'm not sure how much I really like Atmosphere" feeling. Plus, it's weird watching people freak out on drugs.

4. The Cars - "You Might Think" 1984 *This is one of the most memorable 1980s videos. I like when the band is floating on the soap in the bathtub, however, Ric Ocasek's invasive bathtub actions could probably be classified as stalking in 2013.

5. Fiona Apple - "Criminal" 1997 *It's funny that this is a song called "Criminal" and that the second scene is of a stuffed animal. Maybe its there to remind us that she was barely legal when this video was shot.

6. Beach House - "Wild" 2012 *Warning, this is not a sexy bathtub scene.

7. Morrissey - "Suedehead" 1988 *Morrissey does intellectual stuff when he is in the bathtub.

8. Toro Y Moi - "So Many Details" 2012 *One can't help but wonder if this is an ironic turtleneck scene or if he is actually into turtlenecks. I love this guy yet I slacked on buying tickets for his sold out February 27 show at the Crocodile.

9. The B52's - Love Shack" 1989 *There is a lot of quirky stuff going on in this video but the bathtub scene is around 1:55. I always thought this video had a Flintstones thing going.
