I saw that video after I'd heard the song on the radio a couple of times. The song didn't match the video. I don't know who came up with that concept but it was horrible. What does a medieval traveling troubador have to do with Safety Dancing?
It was almost as bad as Pat Benatar's "Running With The Shadows Of The Night", which at least featured AT-6s painted in camo.
I was at a club restaurant a few months back, hanging with some dudes while waiting for a buddy to show up, and we were watching a tv on the wall while chowing on fish and beer. I noticed that most of the videos shown today aren't doing anything that wasn't done 20 years ago by Phil Collins, or The Cars, or Don Henley, or Def Lepard, and so forth. Even the rap videos are copycats of RUN DMC and LL Cool J. We then watched the next 8 videos and, yep, nothing that hasn't been done before. Only the faces and the songs have changed. Then we started talking about the best music videos and someone mentioned a Beastie Boys video that was done up like a '70s cop show. I've never seen it. Does it ring a bell?
