Eight Music Videos featuring Card Games

1. TLC - "Red Light Special" 1994  *The TLC ladies got male models to dance in their underwear while they play cards, because they could.



2. Shaggy - "It Wasn't Me" 2000  *In this song Shaggy dishes out horrible relationship advice to his singer friend.



3. Tony Toni Toné and DJ Quik - "Let's Get Down" 1996  *Raphael Saadiq exposes his secret life as a poker hustler in this video.



4. Quasimoto - "Bus Ride" (Song 2005 / Video 2011)  *This fan-made video surprisingly does not take place on a bus even though it is called "Bus Ride".



5. LL Cool J - "Going Back To Cali" 1989  *Card games with Rick Rubin!



6. Sade - "Your Love Is King" 1984  *Even with visual proof, it is still hard to imagine Sade as a card shark. Then again, I believe Sade can do anything.



7. Slum Village - "Climax (Girl Shit)" 2000  *Dilla and Gary Coleman together, immortalized in music video.



8. Heavy D and the Boyz - "Now That We Found Love" 1991  *There are many colorful raincoats in this video, no rain though.

Ten Music Videos featuring Fake Backgrounds

1. Slum Village feat. Dwele - "Tainted" 2002  *One of the non-Dilla produced Slum Village tracks that is awesome.



2. Tony Toni Toné - "Feels Good" 1990  *I remember seeing a kid in junior high who brought this cassette to school with him. Raphael Saadiq is still going strong.



3. First Serve - "Must B The Music" 2012  *The DJ's masks look a little too juggalo.



4. Norah Jones - "Sunrise" 2004  *I like Norah Jones, but, seriously this is the dorkiest she has ever looked.



5. Soft Cell - "Tainted Love" 1981  *If you can get past the poor quality, you may notice that video is really weird.



6. Ray Parker Jr. - "Ghostbusters" 1984  *Stellar use of neon lights.



7. Mary Jane Girls - "Candyman" 1983  *Mary Jane Girls is to Rick James what Vanity 6 is to Prince. It's really not that great though.



8. Devo - "Whip It" 1980  *Whip games! You just don't see people whipping hats off each others heads or cigarettes out of mouths anymore.



9. Diana Ross - "Missing You" 1984  *Sad and rad at the same time.



10. Blood Orange - "Champagne Coast" 2012  *It's pretty good.
