I'm in an 80's mood.

Mods pull if you wish.

Quite the hit on MTV.

[TChad]

Thanks.

I don't have time to sit through a 4 minute video. Can somebody please summarize it so that I can get on with my day?

No problem, here you go...

“In a day or two”

A lyric I never heard correctly until five days ago when my wife said “you know he’s singing ‘in a day or two’ right”?

I didn’t. It was always just some garbled high note that I always failed to hit.

We didn’t have cable so no MTV. I would have to watch it at friend’s houses.

Great graphics and falsetto.

This was only the fifth music video from the 20th Century to top one billion views on YouTube.

Here are the previous four videos (made in the 20th Century) to achieve that mark:

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Guns 'N' Roses - November Rain
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Guns 'N' Roses - Sweet Child o' Mine

[RummyChick]

I did not know that either

[dfwgator]

There’s another Norwegian act that has a song with over a billion views.

[SamAdams76]

From the 20th Century or after 2000?

There are numerous music videos with over one billion views but a 20th Century song hitting that mark is in exclusive company.

[MotorCityBuck]

Thanks for posting. Non of those surprise me in the least.
👍

I shared an elevator ride with these guys at the Akasaka Prince in Tokyo when they were a big deal. Two of em looked like middle schoolers. The singer looked like he had terrible acne. Nothing like the cool dudes in this video.

I like the Reel Big Fish cover version

[RummyChick]

and if you are into heavy metal....which I am in no way a heavy metal fan...this cover of Buried Alive is very nice. Alip does soothing interpretations of songs that can put me to sleep...well not this one while the singer is screeching BURIED ALIVE
