May 25[edit]

Vague description of a music video[edit]

My son (who is 5) insists that he saw a music video recently, but can't remember anything else about it. He remembers the following things:

  • there is a man and a woman who kiss inside a house
  • the walls in the house are a "little orangey" or maybe peach
  • they hear music outside
  • the man falls into a drink with no clothes (I have no idea what this means)
  • they smash a guitar at the end

He says he saw this on TV, so it was probably on MuchMusic or something...I was almost certainly watching this with him, and it sounds familiar, but I can't think of it either, and now I really want to know what it is too. The first thing that came to mind was "Try" by Pink, but that's not it. (And yes, maybe 5 year olds shouldn't watch such music videos, but we both agree, kids' music is boooooring.)

Does this sound like anything? A real song? Is he thinking of more than one song? Did he make it up entirely? Adam Bishop (talk) 03:20, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure you included all possible information but was your son watching an 80s hour or 90s retro or something of the sort? Unless this is a 2005-2013 video I am unaware of but sounds not like the type to be produced with modern tastes. Since videos are made to sell the music I would imagine one would remember some of the lyrics, just trying to help things along. ;-) Market St.⧏ ⧐ Diamond Way 04:49, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly. I think it was a block of programming on a non-music channel with pop music videos aimed at tweens, but I don't know. (It could be something he watched several years ago that he is just remembering now, for all I know!) Adam Bishop (talk) 19:24, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
3 days after you asked but The Middle by Jimmy Eat World features everything but the guitar-smashing, and I don't think it too much of a leap of faith that a five year-old could be merging two similar videos.Video here. 157.203.254.1 (talk) 13:19, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Identification of Cee Lo Green song[edit]

the man just performed here last night... At 3:17:20 (or around there), Cee Lo sings a track titled "Champagne". Where does this song appear in? Don't remember hearing it. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 09:57, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be "Champain", dozens of hits for it and even a video on the Google under "cee lo green champain". Market St.⧏ ⧐ Diamond Way 10:45, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
