It might be interesting if we didn't know all this already.

Quote:

Come Over To My Window

It's "Come To My Window"

Like A Virgin(Madonna)-Obvious references to Marilyn Monroe. Made people constantly compare her with Marilyn after this video

Don't you mean "Material Girl"?

Quote:

Eminem played both Eminem and Stan.

Stan is actually played by actor Devon Sawa.

2.Like A Virgin(Madonna)- Was almost banned because of burning crosses, a black Jesus, interracial affair, and more.

Actually, there were no burning crosses in "Like a Virgin," that
video was "Like a Prayer."

Quote:

6.Stan(Eminem)- Stan is really Eminem. Eminem played both Eminem and Stan.

"Stan" was not played by Eminem, the character was played by former teen star Devon Sawa.

Quote:

7.I Like The Way You Move(Outkast)-Is Big Boi from Outkast and Sleepy Brown singing the song.

What's so interesting about that?... We all know that.

Quote:

9.Cry Me A River(Justin Timberlake)-Is rumored to be about his ex-girlfriend, Britney Spears.

Obviously.

Quote:

11.Like A Virgin(Madonna)-Obvious references to Marilyn Monroe. Made people constantly compare her with Marilyn after this video.

Burning crosses, a black Jesus, and Marilyn Monroe all in one video?!!!... NO!, once again you are confusing "Like a Virgin." The video you are referring to is "Material Girl."

Quote:

12.Barbie Girl(Aqua)-Mattel tried to sue them for not asking permission to make a song about their dolls, Barbie and Ken.

Mattel DID sue them.

Quote:

14.Dirty(Christina Aguilera)-Was critized by a lot of people for being a wild, raunchy, naughty video.

Actually the main controversy sorrounding "Dirrty" was a banner in the video that read, "Sex Tour in Thailand!... Young Girls!"... the Thailand government was appauled by the banner because the prostitution of young girls in Thailand is a huge issue there. The video was banned in several countries, the U.S. only did minor editing.

"Stan" was not played by Eminem, the character was played by former teen star Devon Sawa.

If that's true, my sister has better sense than me. Because we were watching the video "Stan" and I say that Stan is Eminem. My sister says, "He is not Eminem". I thought that that was Eminem, but they just made him look crazy and a little chubbier.

Yeah, this would be cool....but half of it is common knowledge now-a-days.

I never said that they weren't well known facts. I said they were "interersting tidbits." They are interesting, but people already know them. It wasn't as though I had said "Interesting, rare, top secret facts that no one knows about!"

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 04-09-2004, 10:46 AM

Fascinating.

Steve M. · 04-11-2004, 08:33 PM

"Love Stinks", the J. Geils Band. This video has, among other things:

Drummer Stephen Bladd playing with fish instead of drumsticks;

someone jumping up and down on a pogo stick playing two bugles simultaneously;

a wedding couple in gas masks (love really stinks!);

Guitarist J. Geils getting his picture taken in an automoatic photo booth;

someone slicing a tomato, and;

an ourangatang watching a televsion set with a screen full of snow.

HA HA HA!

Did anyone know that?

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 04-16-2004, 03:02 PM

Britneys 'Everytime' video was supposed to end with her committing suicide, but got freaked out and changed it at the last minute. She then went on to add that 'she doesnt endorse suicide'. Well, duh.. but its only a video...

Joey broke his foot (or was it knee?) so by the time NSYNC was ready to make 'Pop' Wade Robson filled in for him.

Meh, these are things people already knew.

Janice Johnson · 05-11-2004, 02:14 PM

In "Come Back To Me", the love interest is Rene Elizondo , Janet's boyfriend and soon to be husband. (He is now her ex).

Who was the woman in Duran Duran's "Hungry Like the Wolf" video?
