No, Wait, THIS Is Your Music Video: B-4-4 "Get Down"

You look gross and your song is scary.

(via Film Drunk)

WHY ARE THEY SINGING THIS SONG TO THAT LITTLE BOY? WHY ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE THAT LITTLE BOY TO PLACES HE ONLY THINKS ABOUT WHEN HE'S ASLEEP AT NIGHT? RUN! RUN AWAY, LITTLE BOY! RUN AWAY, EVERYONE!

AHHHHHHHGH! I forgot about these guys (blocked it out?) They used to play this video all the time. Ear and eye rape. They claimed it wasn't about oral sex. BS, just listen to the lyrics.

ahahha these guys were actually somewhat notable in Canada.
I think the worst is that this song is clearly about 69'ing. Oh and that a little icon that reads YTV pops up in the corner. DID I MENTION THAT YTV IS A CANADIAN CHILDRENS NETWORK?!?!
The thing is, when i was 13 i just thought this was a dumb backstreet boys knockoff filled with even worse douchebags (which it is.) I had no idea until years later just how absolutely terrifying it truly was.

all three sort of resemble rob thomas, right? I think each time they clone him, he just gets worse and worse, like in house of cosbys, which is why they had to cover them in fake tan and makeup.

The only thing that could've made that video better is if Bobb'e J. Thompson had been the little kid.

Also: Nananana! Nananana!

Watching it a second time, I honestly can't believe it's real. I refuse to. Look at their facial expressions during the basketball part! I bet they were all smiling so much because they had the power of precognition and knew that this video would one day be admired on the internet for it's hilarity.

Also: I want to see "Get Down Pt. 2", with the old homeless man instead of the kid.

what's up with them dancing in life preservers? if anything they should have been wearing them at the beach, and not a basketball court.

At the 1:40 mark these are the lyrics. I remember ed the sock making fun of this on fromage:

"I'M GONNA MAKE YOU COME(CUM?) TONIGHT!...over to my house!"

there are so many dark forces at work here.

why do these band mates look inflatable?

why do they all look like permutations of the same progenitor?

why do they look like tall oompa loompas? subquestion: how did they escape from the chocolate factory?

since when is it possible to perform photoshop alterations on a physical human being and not an image of that human being?

I couldn't possible express all my concerns in the amount of characters I'm allowed in a videogum comment.....

Nice try. You almost got me. But then I remembered this:

This "music video" is obviously an insanely elaborate skit.

I still think this video is much worse, and much more disturbing...

Perhaps being Canadian, I remember this all too well. I only ever heard it on the radio (never seeing the video), and I had to at least somewhat endorse it because, if you remember, this was the era during which all of those Dateline reports were emerging about how rampant girl-on-boy oral sex was in high schools. And hey, my only problem with than has ever been the asymmetry of it. So this song seemed to be at least addressing that asymmetry.

The point? I think too fucking much.

Slow this down 100 bpm and it sounds like a song Janet Jackson would sing.

Her porno-pop always went totally under the radar for some odd reason... until nipple gate.
