  • Wow. That one was... not great. The Morningwood concept wasn't the most original thing in the world (kinda similar to the "Why Can't I?" video by Liz Phair, which in itself again, wasn't the most original thing in the world), but at least it was executed well. The Badu video just seemed... half-assed. Partially due to the terrible effects on the LP covers in the bins, but just... sort of... I don't know. She didn't seem really into it. The OutKast "Hey Ya!" parody just seemed... lifeless.

    I dunno. I could be biased, though, since I think "Nth Degree" is just a damn fine pop song, too.

    I SO want that sweater vest the Morningwood bass player is wearing.

    Oh, the similarity of the two videos! Oh well, I guess Erykah Badu is a big Morningwood fan and is paying tribute to them.

    In her next video, Ms. Badu will dance on a treadmill.
  • I think the Badu video gave me a headache.

    Too bad she cut her hair...
  • Shame on her for not living up to the full potential of that Ohio Players sleeve.
  • Aw man, I disagree with the comments so far. I watch the Badu video and loved it. I mean, compared with the generic junk out right now, that's awesome. But then of course I watched the second video, which I had never seen. Interesting that it was done so recently too.

    Same director? If so, that's just laziness. Either way, both videos are pretty cool.
  • I was wondering if it was the same director as well.
