Drive-by rec post today because I am in an airport about to board a plane and I don't have time to follow any of your excellent suggestions (all great and I will do my best to do them justice!) so instead I'm doing something a little different! These are five non-fannish music videos that I think are legitimately awesome.

Blurred Lines (Sexy Boys Parody) - Mod Carousel
I feel like calling this a parody really sells it short -- it's genuinely a great music video even without reading it as criticism of the original Blurred Lines music video. The singers are all fantastic and everybody looks like they're having so much (sexy!) fun.

Winner - Pet Shop Boys
Transgender roller derby girls. Every time I watch this video I tear up a little.

Like Me - Teen Beach Movie
It's a fucking Disney channel musical. It's terrible. And yet also incredibly hilarious? You're welcome for the earworm.

Gazpacho - La Ogra
It's a music video! It's a recipe for gazpacho! What more do you want? (Tip of the hat to [livejournal.com profile] khoshgeleh_16 for introducing me to this song.)

Soccer Practice - Johnny McGovern
I... feel like I should justify this choice somehow, but I got nothing. It's a super catchy song! TECHNICALLY non-fannish! Though if it somehow became a Yuletide fandom I would not complain... (Really that goes for all of these. C'mon guys, that Blurred Lines parody would make for such great fic!)

Gazpachooooooo! Typical espanish, typical espanish y cuesta muy poco money!

Seriously, y'all, GREATEST RECIPE VIDEO EVER. (I also highly recommend La Ogra's other smash hit, "Te borro del feisbuh" - "I'll Delete You From Facebook". It's a riot.)

I watched Teen Beach Movie. As much as I'm over Disney trying to recreate another HSM, this was kinda fun. And the song was okay. They're probably writing the sequel, the lead girl is in an ABC show so it'd be easy for Disney to snag her again.
