Seven Music Videos featuring Ladders

You may be wondering why the hell ladders are a good category for music videos, I am too actually. It was the big ladder in The Police video that made me think ladders were a thing.

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Otherside" 2000  *I know a lot of high quality individuals who think this song is mega cheesy, I still think its pretty good.

2. The Police - "Don't Stand So Close To Me" 1980  *These guys were wicked cool in 1980.

3. Eddie Money - "Take Me Home Tonight" 1986  *Ladder as saxophone holder.

4. Has-Lo - "Limit" 2011  *This video is hella mask-y. I realize that is an absolutely ridiculous statement, but when I say it out loud I have a look on my face that illustrates my sarcasm.

5. JJ Doom - "Bookhead" 2013  *It's lovely that Doom made a video encouraging people to read more and patronize one's local bookstores.

6. Dirty Dike - "Return Of The Twat" 2013  *It would likely be terrifying to run across these dudes acting all crazy and yelling the word twat. Like a wild animal, he may be best observed from a safe distance.

7. Paula Abdul - "Cold Hearted" 1989  *The best parts of this video are the looks on the faces of the judgy people when the dancing gets too risqué for them.

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.

2. Soul Coughing - "Circles" 1998  *A sweater was harmed in the making of this video.

3. Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Breaking The Girl" 1992  *Flea kind of looks like Princess Leia with a flower on his ear.

5. Suzanne Vega - "Tom's Diner" 1987 

6. Jaden Smith - "The Coolest" 2012  *He has a smooth, stony teenager flow.

7. Oasis - "Champagne Supernova" 1996  *I'm not sure that this song really needed to be seven and a half minutes long.

8. Danny Brown and J Dilla - "Jay Dee's Revenge" 2012  *From the Rebirth of Detroit album.

9. Earl Sweatshirt - "Chum" 2012  *Earl is awesome.
