Sh*t I Like: Music Videos Part 1


DAAAYUM... I'm gonna need a minute.

I thought I might start doing this new segment/entry/post-thingy here on the Foundation called Sh*t I Like. These posts will be about whatever the hell I want them to be about. This entry in particular will be about some of the many music videos I love. Hopefully, you like them too. Enjoy!



Whitesnake - Here I Go Again



This is one song that every time I hear it on the radio or whatever, I think about the music video. It's just timeless! The first thought that comes to my mind when this song plays, or someone ever brings up the subject of Whitesnake is  Tawny Kitaen. Sweet Jesus thank you for Tawny Kitaen! Everything about her, The legs, the body, the face, the hair! Whoever thought "Hey, lets put these two Jaguars together and have a white lingerie clad Tawny Kitaen roll around on the hood of them." Is a FUCKING GENIUS!!! 

The video was filmed in 1987 to go along with the hit song and like most Whitesnake videos, was directed by Marty Callner. It has the band performing on a stage, but whats really the most important thing about the video, and the world, is Tawny Kitaen. We have her gallivanting around, back and forth between the hoods of two Jaguars and we have her hanging out the window of a car and seducing lead singer(And future husband.) David Coverdale while he tries to focus on driving.  

It's spectacular and full of 80's goodness. May it live on forever! 

Final Thought: Tawny and David were later married. I wonder who spent longer styling their hair in the mornings? Did they bitch each other out for hogging the bathroom? Did they use the same hair products/tools? Is this the reason they got divorced? Probably. 


No Doubt - It's My Life


This is indeed one of my all time favsies. We have lead singer, Gwen Stefani as a 1920's femme fatal killing all her lovers(Played by the other boy members of the band.). Need I say more? 

The fashion, the acting, the song! Everything about this video is fantastic. I really don't think I need to explain myself any further. Enjoy!


Reba McEntire - Fancy


Damn! This is a good video! Double damn! Reba looks good as a classy-ass hooker! 

It's well known that Reba is one of the pioneers of the music video as we know it today. She loved doing them, and it ignited her passion for acting which we have all been blessed with for many years. Tremors, Is There Life Out There?, Reba.... all kinds of Reba acting goodness. 

When I was a kid I loved this song an video! Back then I had to watch CMT constantly in order to see it. Granted, I was way too young to be listening to a song about a mother selling her daughter into prostitution, but we listened and watched all kinds of fucked up shit when we were younger(I'm looking at you Rocko's Modern Life!). So in conclusion... I don't know, it's just an awesome video and song, watch it!

Final Thought: In real life, that girl would not have left that damn locket there! She would have kept it, and pawned it for cocaine or morning-after-pill money! We ain't fools!
