Worst Music Video

The reason that I do not like this music video is because of the song, her style and the topic of the song. I am not the kind of person that enjoys listening to punk or pop and Avril Lavene has in a complete disaster combined these two things to bring pain and torture to my ears every time I hear the song. I don’t mean to be stereotypical, but I just don’t like skater boys or girls for that matter. I don’t like the way they dress I just don’t understand the whole sweat band, spikes, and all the rest. I think that a lot of them are cool people after you get to know them, but they just put a type of ora that draws attention to themselves and that almost every time gets them labeled. The video goes on and in the end has a massive party in the street with the “hero” Avril Lavene throwing some kind of concert in the middle of the street on top of cars. Kids start running to this awful music like she is some modern day pied piper. The lyrics to these songs really have to application to me. That is part of the reason that I feel I do not like this song at all. I tend to listen to songs that I feel I can identify with the lyrics. It helps to draw you into the song and make it feel like it is a situation you have gone through or that could realistically happen to you sometime in your life. Me falling in love with some one and then them going into the professional music business do not seem to be in my near future plans. I also just do not like Avril’s style of music in general so it made it easy for me to already assume that I was not going to enjoy this music video one bit.

Ol Red

I really like this music video more for the song that it is put to more than the actual video itself. The song titled Ol Red by Blake Shelton is a song that I find very creative and ironic. The song starts of by the man saying how he walked in on his wife cheating on him and it is implied that he ended up killing the man she was with. He then goes on to explain that he was sentenced ninety-nine years in prison. I can’t image what it would be like to be in prison. It would be terrible to be isolated from the entire world for the rest of your life. It would completely change you as a person; all of the things that were your normal daily routine or things that used to be important to you would no longer matter. Your Sunday priorities would go from relaxing reading the newspaper, watching some football, and maybe mowing the yard to physical labor, boring jobs, and terrible food. The artist explains that after two years he finally made friends with the warden at his prison. He made friends with him and was rewarded by only having to take care of the bloodhound that the prison would release if someone were trying to escape. He goes on to explain this is how he got out of prison he took the dog out to see a female dog every night. Ol Red got used to seeing her and so he kept him away for awhile made his escape and knowing as soon as they let the dog out he was free because he would run straight to the girl instead chase him. The closing line of this song is the best, “love got me in here and love got me out.”
