I saw these two videos on The Stranger site today. They were the butt of their typical "let's prove there really is a liberal media bias" anti-right slander campaign jokes (which are funny but they can be too much sometimes... it comes off kinda lazy). Anyway, these videos/songs are pretty cool in an ironic and literal way.
This one is early 80's Ska/Calypso(?) circa Blondie. If you ignore the lyrics, it's not bad. Plus the guitar player is rocking the f#@k out (although I kind of think the keyboard player might be the choir teacher from my high school, Mrs. Kim).
The second is my favorite though! It's like Synth-Pop circa Duran Duran but like if Duran Duran was sampled by a Hip-Hop producer and then the white man went and took it back and had his mega-church band play it.
As the original post on the Slog previously stated, there is no way to not crack up at like 1:54.
Anyway... this beat is tight... in a watered down Kool-Aide trying to pass as Powerade sort of way. I think it would help a lot if they didn't smile so much and weren't wearing church clothes though.
UPDATE: Sorry but "The Way International" are bunch of greedy bastards and they took the second video due to a "copyright claim." I thought the whole point of filming this was to get to word of Christ out. That seems really un-christian to yank this video. DVD sales in their mega-church's gift shop must be down...
