THIS IS THE WAY MUSIC VIDS SHOULD BE DONE!! the way it's shot and edited goes perfect w/ the song, and a little skit to go w/ it. it's perfect. WHY isn't this done more often? sigh... GREAT VIDEO, THANKS
@lovemusicsomuch You are so right.....one of the best music videos ever ! Very creative and just done perfectly to suit the song ! Kudos to whoever did this.....you did a fantastic job ! I am so impressed by this !
I saw a documentary on Check Negron - I guess it was in the '80's - he was down & out - a bad Heroin addict - homeless . . . but he DID clean up and was doing well . . . hopefully he still is.
@bdeprima OMG Poor Chuck! This should have been the high point of his life! They just all looked like they were having so much fun! Except for, at the end when they are all standing at the table. After hearing about the addiction and how it was messing with him, I just see a deep hidden sadness in his face.
I'm so glad he's doing so much better! He's such a cool person!
Too bad it appears as if I'm talking to myself. Oh well. Couldn't help noticing how they look like they're really singing this, not just lipsyncing the words! This video must have been a blast to do! It would be just too tempting to go ahead and sing with voices like theirs!
Cory looks like he is trying very hard not to start laughing uncontrollably at 1:45 :D
Best part of this awesome video starts at 2:22 when the organ volume increases and the band is standing together grooving to the music. These guys are well into their 60's now, but then they were young and had the world at their feet.
This should have been played before the final drive of the Super Bowl, Go Giants!
