Thanks as always to the Enchanted Porkfist, who points out the verse starting at 1:44 for your particular attention.

I haven't seen much Government Music Video. The first was the infamous Just Say No anti-drug one in '85 in which hipsters like Herb Alpert urged us GenXers not to do cocaine. It was possible to see all the way through if impaired in some way.

There were also some examples of AdRoc from the military that I've banished from my mind.

Some time in the 1990s, [livejournal.com profile] kerebearus was partially responsible for some Government Music Video about nutrition and fitness for a local county here. I have memories of cute sixth graders chanting "NO PROTEIN POWDER! LOUDER!!!"

She refuses to have these digitized. So now we have something that [livejournal.com profile] kerebearus would also appreciate. Government Health Care Recruiting Furry Hip-Hop! YO WAASSSUUPPP GOV!

The Belgians in the Congo, short memory



Really fine live version of this song, which is yet another "now more than ever" piece.

It was hard to predict whether Polish Hip-Hop Bhangra with Tuvan Throat Singing would be a good or a bad idea. Answer: GOOD idea.



Thanks to acb's del.icio.us feed for this one.

For a long time we have known that Phil Collins required replacement. The task has been completed by the good people at Cadbury:



Many more remixes at jwz's post

Kraut rock band "Embryo" in Afghanistan in 1978 jamming with the local heroes. Yeah it's a bit long for pop music, but it's a South Asian jam. Get into it.

Once again courtesy [livejournal.com profile] torgo_x, "The Man Who Sold The World" from the December 15, 1979 broadcast, with Joey Arias and Klaus Nomi singing backup.

As Sean says, the last minute's vocals are stunning.
