      @@kavahlol9729 you mean which specific seconds on the video? Why does it matter? If you look at the video, you can see at least a dozen different people walking through and pretending to get ice cream. I was one of them. They rented a closed up ice cream shop in Wicker Park (Chicago) just for the video and colored mashed potatoes to look like blue ice cream. (Although they did give us real ice cream in exchange for our time). We were told to bring both blue clothes and red clothes but we ended up just wearing the blues. The little blond boy looked like a young Curt Cobain. We spent a long time waiting for the band to shoot their scene in the ice cream parlor area, just so we could walk through to exit. Eventually, they had us exit through the back alley. Sadly there was a dead deer outside the door. Disgusting! Overall, it was a fun experience and they even sent me a videotape of it as they promised (this was in 1996, I believe).

      @Endmassincarceration 3 роки тому +2

      @@fshoaps I'm really surprised you need me to spell it out. Maybe it's a generational thing. Like many (likely the vast majority of) people on UA-cam, I value my anonymity. I enjoy being able to say and post controversial things without worrying about professional blowback. My appearance in this video is certainly something I tell my friends about but I don't want to make it easy for someone who doesn't like things that 'endmassincarceration' has to say or who doesn't like me in real life to use things I post on youtube against me. But when you ask me--an anonymous person on youtube--to effectively share a photo of myself--you are asking me to do just that.

    I gotta thank Todd in the Shadows for reintroducing/introducing me to this band. I liked so many of their songs but never realized that the songs were by Semisonic until I watched One Hit Wonderland and after that I found out that this is a band that has released so many of my favorite songs. Funny how you find something out like that. You realized you missed out on so much.

    Morning comes and morning goes
    Now it's me against the sun
    The day goes by and darkness grows
    And it's over before it's done
    Well I know it'll be alright if I just get on the road
    If I run I can free my worried mind
    Yeah I know on the day I die I will lose my heavy load
    But I wouldn't want to leave you behind
    All my time keeps creeping on
    Now I've grown into a man
    But Mr. Child still wants to run
    From the cradle to the van
    Keep thinking it'll be alright if I just get on the road
    If I run I can free my worried mind
    Keep thinking of the day I die when I lose my heavy load
    But I wouldn't want to leave you behind.

So there are other ice cream related videos. I think it was "Today (is the greatest)"...been a while but even longer now!
