This video is what got me to know BBVD. The gentleman in the video (the bald guy) was a co-worker/friend of mine whose name is Derek Mears. He came in one day and told us he was in a music video that had just been released and it was this one. So by watching this video, I became aware of BBVD and have been a fan ever since. Derek, by the way, went on to play Jason Vorhees in the Friday the 13th movie franchise, Edward in 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters' and 'Swamp Thing". If you ever meet him, he is the nicest, funniest most selfless guy you will ever meet.
You guys will always be "The Greatest Band On Any Stand!" I have seen you live twice and hope to one day do that again. All of you stay safe!
I really love your songs 🎶🎺🎷🥁 I wish I was a boy in the 1920s, 30s or even 40s because jazz is my favorite kind of music
One of my favorite BBVD songs. Always love hearing it.
That is so true about MTV,
it's a shame they dont play music anymore.
Dancing with the Devil honey.. it can get weird and funny. You guys are great
This is absolutely my favorite song ever. I remember listening to it on MTV when I was about 13 or 14 years old and it just was awesome and still is to the day. I love everything about this song. It’s just amazing to me. When I first heard it I could never find out what this was until years later when I heard it again (don’t remember where or even when I heard it though) then I was able to find it and I listened to it four what it felt like was days and days straight. The whole Americana Deluxe CD is one of the best CDs ever in my opinion not a bad song on there.
Really funny story about me and BBVD; I used to work in a restaurant when I was younger and I worked for going on I would say 30 some hours straight as a cook (they were opened for 24 hours straight and I was the only cook they had, the other ones called out or didn’t so up) didn’t really get any sleep just just cooking and cleaning constantly. I was past being tired. And I was listening to the “Live” CD on repeat so much that I stated seeing things. I was cooking something (don’t remember what) and during this song I just stopped cooking and was staring at where my dishes were right below the tickets and suddenly I started seeing little green men and women dancing to Mr. Pinstripe Suit. And I must’ve been staring there for a while cause one of the waitress came back into the kitchen to ask me what the hold was on the food and she just saw me standing there looking at nothing and she went to get the owner and basically shook me awake and asked me what was happening and I said to him “I think I’m losing it,” I said. The owner looked at me, “what’s going on?” I responded, “nothing just staring at little green people dancing on the plates.” The next thing I really remember was as getting into a cab and going to my apartment and crashing into the floor. My roommate said that I was sleeping so hard that I thought you were dead at one point. “I tapped you to see if you were still alive, and you were so I let you sleep.” I slept for almost 18 hours straight that time.
J'adore BBVD
Excellent très bon feeling
Those were the days, when MTV still played music videos. And such the baby face! I agree that the Alexandria made for a cool set, although perhaps a touch too much smoke machine... My faves: Bottle Makes 3 & How Big Can You Get. And I always wondered who the Bigtime Operator was...
Me encantan, los amo!!!!!!! 💜... Maravillosos.
Hey Scotty,
Happy to share my interpretation of what your video means. It's a very surreal video with a lot of light effects and a lot of effect shots, strange costumes, and weird characters. The pace is also extremely frenetic, with few shots held more than a second or two, and many in rapid succession that go even faster. There's no narrative but I believe that's the point. The video takes a lot of cues from early days of silent film, and in particular the special effect shorts films (often 15 seconds or shorter) or early film production when people were still figuring out what the new medium was capable of. This makes sense if Los Angeles and the Alexandria were being used as a source of inspiration, the high contrast black and white palette of the video, and the choice of the actor who played the "magician," who definitely gives off Max Schreck vibes.
I have no direct evidence (I've done no research on this) but I definitely read this video as a celebration of the bigwigs - the innovators and inventors, the producers and actors - who created Hollywood.
In regard to the Mr. Pinstripe Suit video.....love the different aspects of the 1920’s: the girl with the marcelled hair, the magician’s water escape trick that looked like something Mr. Houdini did, the architecture of the ballroom.
I really enjoy Music Monday. Thank you Scotty for another terrific video!
More music and more songs 😎
Love Music Mondays
You guys are magnificent ❤
Hey, Scotty!!! I'm from Baja Mexico and I became your fan, all of you they are very funny and excellent musicians 3 days ago I was navigating on internet trying to find something different and by accident I found you with that song "Why Me?" and believe me since that moment I've been listening to all your music and day by day I like it more and more!! My mother's side of the family several of them are professional musicians including my youngest brother he's an excellent guitarist he have a lot influence of Jimmy Hendrix and Jimmy Page I grew up since I was a little kid listening music like Beach Boys ,Yardbirds,Music Machine,Blue Cheer,The Birds,Beatles,Rolling Stones,Zombies,Dave Clark Five,Electric Prunes,The Seeds,Steppenwolf and much,much more. Hopefully one day you can go to Baja that we can enjoy your music and show because believe me we are hungry to see good musicians just like you we have been invaded with very poor quality music and my favorite son of yours is "Why Me?"" I laughed a lot when I saw you the chicken posing in your shoulder and singing like her jajajaja!!
BBVD may have "had no part in the creative process" - but YOU guys gave it life! Enjoyed it thoroughly.
Oh, I saw it a lot. Along with the version that features scenes from "Wooster and Jeeves" starring Hugh Laurie.
I know there no video but you need to review "save my soul" That the one I felt in love
Hey,Scotty I become your fan with that song "Why Me?" All of you are very funny and talented and now I've been listening your music every day I'm from Baja I found you by accident 3 days ago navigating on internet hopefully one day you can come to Baja with your band to enjoy your show and music we are hungry to see good musicians like you in these lately years we have been invaded with a poor quality music,the funniest part of the video is when I saw you with a chicken posing in your shoulder and singing like her JAJAJAJAJA!!!
WoW thats so cool ur back U GUYS ROCK
Thank You!!!!!!
Pure Beauty! ;-)
Strange, I would have guessed that video was directed by the ghost of Ed Wood Jr :-)
Молодцы, ребята!!!
It almost Christmas, so let is see some of your x-mas videos and the background about Them.
Scotty, THANKS for explaining how the video was made because, to be very honest, I was sooo disappointed when I first saw it. It just made no sense and didn’t do justice to my absolutely favorite BBVD song. Definitely not what I expected. Why the director took the direction he did on the video defies logic or sense. Fortunately, the song’s great lyrics and music aren’t greatly diminished by it.. I hope someday you guys come to San Antonio or anywhere else in Texas so I can get to see a live performance. All the best.
Me being gen z wishing I was alive during the time of jazz and swing.
Same
I am guessing that the theme here is "VooDoo", since the zombie aesthetic is part of all that, and it's part of your band's name. They also looked like they were gonna sacrifice some goats and chickens.
Looks like director of the video have seen too much Marilyn Manson videos)))
Music brings you fame not videos)))
I wish you fame and moneys)))
