Twelve More Music Videos with Motorcycles

Here's the link to all the motorcycle videos on a YouTube playlist. #YouTubeNchill

1. OCnotes feat. BLV3$ - "How Are You My Friend?" 2017 SEATTLE MUSIC (sorta) Otis shared some of his adventures around the world with us in the new video for "How Are You My Friend?" This video qualifies for more than one of my weird lists; public transportation, flowers, bicycles, slow motion, Seattle, and others that have yet to be published. He's all linked up with the Homeskillet Records these days, their artist roster is perfect.

2. Lykke Li - "Gunshot" 2014 Lykke Li is starting the glamorous zombie apocalypse; I'm in.

3. Action Bronson - "Easy Rider" 2014 I hereby declare Action Bronson to be King Of Motorcycle Music Videos.

4. Lizzo feat. Sophia Eris- "Batches + Cookies" 2013 Lizzo is a queen on this earth.

5. Das EFX - "Real Hip Hop" 1995 I love that raining sparks shit.

6. Blood Orange - "I'm Sorry We Lied" 2012 Blood Orange is a lifetime member of the Artsy Weirdo Squad.

7. The Bar (Prometheus Brown + Bambu) - "Coming (To America)" 2014 Overflowing with respect for all parties involved with this project.

8. Queen - "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" 1980 Grease-y in the best way.

9. U-God - "Dat's Gangsta" 1999 WuTang really is forever.

10. AlunaGeorge feat. Popcaan - "I'm In Control" 2016 I would never deny the fact that Aluna is in control; love this duo!

11. AZ - "The Come Up" 2005 Even the birds have AZ's back.

Here's a video of Action Bronson freestyling over "The Come Up" instrumental.

12. Abra - "Pull Up" 2016 You think she does her own stunts or is that special effects of her on the 4 wheeler (@ 2:40 and beyond)? This is one of those songs that's about nothing but I'm okay with it because the words are presented well.

Here's the link to the first 10 Motorcycle Music Videos.

Eight Music Videos featuring Women in Curlers

1. Yvette Michelle - "I'm Not Feeling You" 1997 *This is a chick power anthem.

2. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg - "Nuthin' But A G Thang" 1992 *Straight classic.

3. Beyoncé - "Irreplaceable" 2006 *Beyoncé can work an all-over print hoodie like no one else.

4. Maluca - "El Tigeraso" 2009 *She really knows how to work the curlers.

5. RJD2 - "1976" 2004 *The video is better than the song.

6. Queen - "I Want To Break Free" 1984 *Not actually a woman, but, still someone dressed as a woman in curlers. This video is rad.

7. DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince - "Parents Just Don't Understand" 1988 *I was ten when this song came out. I wonder if Will Smith's kids throw this song back in his face.

8. Lady Gaga feat. Beyoncé - "Telephone" 2010 *I've got to hand it to these ladies. This video is a mega-production, definitely not boring. This is what you have to do in 2010 if you desire to be a megastar. The song itself isn't very good, but, the video is fantastic. It's funny how after they kill a bunch of people in a restaurant, they celebrate by wearing patriotic outfits and do a dance routine.

Ten More Music Videos featuring Fire

1. Mobb Deep - "Survival Of The Fittest" 1995 *In this video you can see prime examples of "get hyped rap dancing" (I just made that up, I put it in quotes because I do whatever I want).

2. Madness - "Our House" 1982 *The fire is an ironing mishap.

3. Madlib - "Take It Back" 2006 *Animated fire still counts.

4. Salt-N-Pepa - "Do You Want Me" 1990 *This video has some awesome early nineties fashion. For example, knee length spandex with shorter baggy shorts...in the same outfit.

5. Everything But The Girl - "Wrong" 1996 *In this video Tracey Thorn decides to sit in a burning chair. This song is from the Walking Wounded album, which is incredible.

6. The Roots - "Distortion To Static" 1994 *From the album Do You Want More?!!!??!

7. Sade - "Soldier Of Love" 2010 *With this song, Sade showed us that she's still got it (no surprise there).

8. INXS - "Not Enough Time" 1992 *This video also contains rotating heads, clocks, staircases, confetti, underwater scenes, wind, and a lady in a fishnet outfit. I love this song.

9. Dave Dub - "Superfly" 2012 *I would like this song more if it was an instrumental.

10. Queen - "Under Pressure" 1981 *This video also contains monsters, destruction of old buildings, backwards scenes, old footage, and the Statue Of Liberty; but, Queen does not appear in this video.
