I JUST NOW noticed that when Al gets pushed in the face, you can hear "get back!" Perfect. I've known about this video for a while now, and that struck me funny.
always loved Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and this video rules. Fairly certain the cartoon Johnny Bravo was based on Jon Spencer. The Blues is #1 ladies and gentlemen!
Thank you, Mr. Yankovic. If it wasn't for this video back when it first was shown on M2 (now known as MTV2), I never would have been introduced to this band. I never forgot this song, and I certainly never forgot this video. :)
Ha! I haven't seen this video in YEARS! I always loved this one...does this mean you'll be adding The Black Crows "Only A Fool" and Ben Folds' "Rockin' The Suburbs" to your account? -Insane Ian
and thats their biggest crime. I dont get the Black Keys appeal, and for 2 piece Detroit bands--Bantam Rooster were the real deal before either of those bands were forced down everyone's throat. Black Keys owe more to Oblivians/Reigning Sound.
Weird Al Used to host a show where he identified video clichés, what we call memes these days. One example is the rap music default of a guy with girls in front of a car. Weird Al Is Resistant to use cliches or to exploit them when making videos because people can lose interest if they see overuse of clichés. It is fitting he did a parody of happy, tacky because clichés are such when they lose appeal.
You know Jon Spencer did alot of crappy music but he also did a lot of really great stuff like this and almost everything on the Orange CD.. This song cracks me up even time I tune back into it.. Weird Al getting a face pushoff cameo..Drummer dude eating a sandwich with his third arm ... Too funny... Great Video maybe my favorite of all UA-cam vids . Ju ju ju got to help me!!! Wail !
Was Al a fan of Newtek's Video Toaster back in the day? A few of the wipes look like an homage to the built in wipes on that system. The KiKi effects where a woman's silhouette makes the transition from shot to shot. There was also a breaking glass effect which was done here too.
lot of simialr things in al's other videos, i.e. the presidents' "mixed up SOB", ben folds' "rockin' the suburbs" watch them right after this and you'll see
0:37, 1:13 whats the guy drinking? is supposed to be a recurring joke about him drinking stuff you're not meant to drink? sorry I'm not from the USA so feel like I'm missing some joke there
I don't understand why people listen to like Cardi B and all that bullshit when the Blues Explosion is available. Maybe I'm old, or maybe people are just stupid
Let's see, vocals=Elvis meets Talking Heads and lots of effects seen in the Presidents of the USA+Peter Gabriel+....that 70's show? Great stuff! Didn't think the Makarena was really necessary though...
Most underrated band of all time, true fact.
People say this on just about every music video on UA-cam, but in this case you are absolutely correct.
Yep
@@ashleymonday298 Every time it's said, it's almost always correct. Too many bands are the most underrated bands of all time
Roght!!#??? The shizz bud!!! Let's dance!!!
Wow! Al's not only a great musician, but also a great director!
This is the best music video of all time. It gets the song represented in all stages. I'm going to write a thesis on how excellent it is.
I miss 90's loosen styles in every where (fashion, music, movie, drama, and so on...) We cannot expect this kind of music or MV nowhere nowadays...
I JUST NOW noticed that when Al gets pushed in the face, you can hear "get back!" Perfect. I've known about this video for a while now, and that struck me funny.
Seriously THE best live band ever
JSBX ROCKS! One of my all time favorite videos.
This is the music videoest music video in existence
W Al needs to direct more music videos.
Weird, Wacky and Wonderful. Have adored it for 22 years
One of the FUNNEST videos ever made. Thanks Al.
It seems like whatever Al touches turns to gold.
this is blues explosion
Indeed my first thought: Lux is alive!
THE BLUES IS NUMBER ONE!!!!
Still cracks me up every time
always loved Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and this video rules. Fairly certain the cartoon Johnny Bravo was based on Jon Spencer.
The Blues is #1 ladies and gentlemen!
I saw them five years ago and they play about an hour and a half or till they run out of sweat.
Oh man, what a performer. What a band. ❤️
Did not know Al directed this gem.
Al's been busy. I love the effects, the cameo and the older style influence.
amazing song with a suitably amazing video
Greatest Music Video ever.....
Al that glitters is gold
Stupid thing to say, but this is the best video ever.
Great song too.
Al did an incredible job on this video.
I can't say much more than that!
The blues is number one!!
ah thanks for this! remember this video when i was a teenager and fell in love with this song!
Thank you, Mr. Yankovic. If it wasn't for this video back when it first was shown on M2 (now known as MTV2), I never would have been introduced to this band. I never forgot this song, and I certainly never forgot this video. :)
Right!? The shizz!!! Let's dance!!!
This probably has to be the weirdest music video I've ever seen. And that's a good thing!
He's supposed to. It's in his name, "Weird" Al Yankovic
Buddy watch mr krinkle I have nothing more to say
Or candy man you know premus I spelled it wrong but you know what I mean
What about electric six high voltage
Primus, Nine Inch Nails and Aphex Twin want to have a talk with you
Really reminds me of the cramps. Even the video. Nice!
Great video. Wonderful lyric. Very profound.
Schön, dass ich das hier wiedergefunden habe. Toll!
Met you and the band at one of the shows back in the day. Great stuff!!
I love this song, and have other stuff by this band already. Love the vid Al. I have seen it before but it always stands a second look
Short answer: no.
Long answer: no wonder this is the one JSBX album with printed lyrics. (AFAIK)
I saw these guys live like 7 fuckin times.
Rob Van Dan's best entrance theme!
this kicks ass!
Wow bro you posted this? They good and so r u for posting this
Ha! I haven't seen this video in YEARS! I always loved this one...does this mean you'll be adding The Black Crows "Only A Fool" and Ben Folds' "Rockin' The Suburbs" to your account?

This band was a heavy influence on The Black Keys and The White Strips!
and thats their biggest crime. I dont get the Black Keys appeal, and for 2 piece Detroit bands--Bantam Rooster were the real deal before either of those bands were forced down everyone's throat. Black Keys owe more to Oblivians/Reigning Sound.
Jack White technically owes them royalties, his solo shit is more like a rip off than "inspiration"!

Nice cameo by Weird Al
haaaaaha, neponovljivo! best video made for one song i`ve ever seen, and a great song too...
I just realised this is on Al Yankovics channel. I've had this on a playlist for like over a decade
god damn fucking good greatest rock n roll blues
If you want a cool interesting, creative, and weird music video made, Weird Al is the guy to go to.
Great video Al!
Didn't Rob Van Dam use this song in ECW 1997
Didn't he use it for like one PPV? The Barely Legal one? Great times.
You know Jon Spencer did alot of crappy music but he also did a lot of really great stuff like this and almost everything on the Orange CD.. This song cracks me up even time I tune back into it..

PHONOMENAL.
Pure Dynamite!!!

so awesome
FUNKYTIME
Downtown LA! R.I.P. Dearden's... 😢
Carl Tonpkins If you're talking bout "freedom tower" you're damn right!!! 👍
1:54 the skibdi toilet borns

1997 was when it was released. I assume it was shot then as well.
Blues Explosion + Weird Al= Mega Awesome.

Me encanta este video hostias .
lot of simialr things in al's other videos, i.e. the presidents' "mixed up SOB", ben folds' "rockin' the suburbs"

BLUES EXPLOSION!!!
Yes.
I better put on my Bob Dylan to English dictionary program on.
Blues Explosion ladies and gentlemen!
0:37, 1:13 whats the guy drinking? is supposed to be a recurring joke about him drinking stuff you're not meant to drink? sorry I'm not from the USA so feel like I'm missing some joke there
I think he’s drinking gasoline
Ju ju ju ju got to help me!!!
Only today did I ponder, did JSBX do any videos for their songs?
I don't understand why people listen to like Cardi B and all that bullshit when the Blues Explosion is available. Maybe I'm old, or maybe people are just stupid
We're never old for good music
i didnt know Elvis joined The Cars!!! ;) i could watch this vid even on mute is so entertaining!
i did his portrait like 4 times ;) over 4 different mediums
1:15 Lol. I guess Weird Al has to at least be in the video he directs. :P
True
This is such a rilly gud video yo omg

Rob Van Dam
