Upgraded to WordPress version 2.8 and checking to see if everything is working.
Seems to be so.

Oy, am I bushed. I have worked in the yard all day trying to get some semblance of order and upkeep even in the sweltering heat and humidity we are currently experiencing. I managed to get some of the worst parts of the lawn tamed and get the repairs to the pool completed before I was turned to dust. Twenty gallons of drinking water and a shower later reconstituted me sufficiently to function in a partially humanoid capacity.
Yes, the Literal Music Videos are done for now. I will keep an eye out for more to post in the future so make sure you have taken your pills on schedule.
Summer electricity rates as well as Summer gas prices have gone into effect full force this week as gas locally was $2.50 to $2.60 yesterday and it looks like we will see $3 gas before the end of July. I don’t understand the mindset of the oil companies in raising the price of gas when people are using less, wouldn’t that force people to use even less during the recession? If I was the gas company, I would be lowering the price and giving people more incentive to drive and travel.
Today we have something a bit more contemporary with flashes of smugness, death, destruction, and inexplicable pools of water…
With Arms Wide Open – Literal Video Version
And as a added bonus a couple of more videos starting with a mind blowing ability to build cities with music that has a hidden clip….
We Built This City: Literal Video Version
And a classic from The Monkeys that proves you don’t have to have expensive sets and props to make a good video, but it does help to have good music…
Daydream Believer: Literal Video Version
This is the last of the Literal Music Video Week for now as I am out of good YouTube videos to use.
Here is a twofer for Thursday from The Beatles. Let’s start off with a totally goofball and indescribable video…
Penny Lane: Literal Video Version
And now for a surrealistic video that leaves one wondering about the state of mind of the director….
Strawberry Fields Forever Literal Music Video
Does anyone else get the impression that the Fab Four may have been a bit on the, oh I don’t know, stoned side when making these videos?
I could have sworn this song was pretty much a prayer to the Judeo-Christian God, but it looks to me like the video is about partying on the road…
Kyrie: Literal Video Version
This one is just creepy and not because of the circus people….
Soul To Squeeze: Literal Video Version – RHCP
Yes, I decided to keep going with the Literal Music Video Week until I either run out of Literal Music Videos or I get bored.
The ought to piss off my wife as she is a big Journey/Steve perry fan. notice the hair, clothing, etc of the classic 80′s rock bands. Behold how we really thought this was cool. Behold the terror….
Separate Ways: Literal Video Version
And you thought Billy Idol was just lusting after his sister in a wedding dress (Ewwwwwwww!)…
White Wedding: Literal Video Version

There was a sequel?
The sequel to “I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Wont Do That)” by Meat Loaf is the video for “I’d Lie For You (and that’s the Truth)”. I remember seeing this a few years ago.
The video is reprises the roles created by Meat Loaf and Dana Patrick this time Dana’s character lip-syncing to Patti Russo’s voice (Patti has been touring with Meat Loaf for over 14 years and can be seen on the “Paradise By The Dashboard Lights Live” video). Though the song was a hit, the video was criticized for being too fast and flashy and a poor sequel for “Anything”.
