3. Reks - "This Or That" (Produced by Statik Selektah) 2011 *Not to be confused with Wreckx-n-Effect, this song is way less exciting than "Rumpshaker."

3. En Vogue - "Hold On" 1990 *It's En Vogue dude, they are the height of awesomeness.
4. Beastie Boys - "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" 1986 *Hard to believe that this song is 28 years old.
5. Poor Righteous Teachers - "Easy Star" 1991 *From their Pure Poverty album.
6. Ssion - "Luvvbazaar" 2013 *This guy really knows how to work the fringe.
7. Nancy Sinatra - "Bang Bang" 1966 *Such a downer, especially with the Kill Bill memories in there. She is killin' it with her 60's pink fringed dress superstardom though.

9. Was Not Was - "Walk The Dinosaur" 1987 *This song was NEVER cool, but , it was definitely memorable. I love that we get to time warp back 40 million years in this music video. I'm 99% sure the keyboard player is wearing a fringe tie. You can really see it during his solo starting at 1:57.
10. Marley Marl feat. Craig G, Masta Ace, Kool G. Rap, and Big Daddy Kane - "The Symphony" 1988 *Juice Crew busts out the gold chains in the Old West.

8. After The Fire - "Der Kommissar" 1982 *She takes her lipstick off with her lipstick; it's either a cool trick or backwards scene.

10. DJ Krush feat. Deborah Anderson - "Skin Against Skin" 1997 *This is definitely NOT the real music video, but, the song is great. "Skin Against Skin" is on DJ Krush's Milight album.
