VividCon attendees: LORD KING BAD VID!

[tzikeh]

Run, don't walk, to sisabet's lj, and read all about her brilliant idea for a room party at VividCon: Lord King Bad Vid!!

Man, if I have time, I am *so* making one....

ETA to give sisabet's fabulous description of what a Lord King Bad Vid is:

LKBVs do not take long to make at all. If you do it right, it will just pour out of you, because the thing is? You have been waiting for this vid your entire life and now you are finally free of such constraints as good taste and common sense.

Think back to the summer you were 12. What was your favorite song? What song touched your SOUL? Be honest. Now - what and who do you truly think that song is about? LKBVs are all about honesty and reveling in our gooey cheesy centers!

When I was 12.... 1991... *looks up the number ones for that year*

(Everything I Do) I Do It For You - Bryan Adams

Go figure.

Not to mention:

The One And Only - Chesney Hawkes

The Shoop Shoop Song - Cher

Black Or White - Michael Jackson


Not that I actually listened to any of these songs at the time. I liked Bryan Addams so long as he was doing his best Springsteen impression, I guess. 1991 was probably all guns n roses for me.

No - but remember when you were 12 and sometimes you'd just go to your room and lie down on top of the bedspread and play your mix tape and stare at the ceiling and the only thing in the entire universe that got you and made sense to you was that song!

Because NO ONE UNDERSTOOD YOU! And so you'd lay there and wallow and cry and feel like really and truly, only George Michael can grasp the pain of your life and man, "Father Figure" just speaks to your SOUL!

And when Peter Cetera sang about "Glory of Love" he totally got you!

So these overwhelmingly cheesey emotional teenage hormonal tides we rode back then? Can totally fuel a LKBV that is not only entertaining to mock but therapuetic as hell to make.

Hmmm... most the emotionally connected music I was listening to in my teens is actually stuff I'd still vid in al seriousness now. I was all over Alice in Chains and the Pixies.... I matured musically very young.

but waitaminute... there is an exception...

I know what my early teen LKBV music would be.

Skid Row! I Remember You.... Youth Gone Wild... 18 and life.... Definitely.

Bonnie Tyler, "Holding out for a hero."

Just think of the possibilities.

Are you really so lucky that you have no idea? Back in the early 90's, there wasn't a fandom that escaped that song. Simon and Simon, Magnum PI, Starsky and Hutch, Remington Steele...I could go on and on, but yes, fandom glommed on to that song and vidded it dry. In fact, I didn't think I could ever stand to see another vid to that song, but then nida_yubari did a Obi-Wan Kenobi vid with it this year and I really enjoyed it.

The only other song I knew to ever get anywhere near the same reaction from fandom was "Something to Talk About" by Bonnie Raitt.

When I was 12...I wasn't into music. I didn't listen to the radio. My records (yes, vinyl) were all things like "Black Beauty" and "40 funky favorites." After that? I was into soundtracks and show tunes. I didn't get into radio music (only country) until I was 14.

I promise I will not vid "Ahab the Arab" or "the Streak." (That'd make a great Ewan vid)

According to Billboard, "Fame" "on the road again" "The Rose" and "Against the Wind" were big when I was 12.

Oh! Thanks for posting what makes an LKBV!!! LBKV's are not ever boring... they are tremendously fulfilling in a junkfood kind of way.

They are like Hersheys. Sure, there is better chocolate - but sometimes that is not the point.

"Bring on the Dancing Horses" by Echo and the Bunnymen.

or "Please, Please, Please" by the Smiths

Okay, the whole damn PIP soundtrack, really.
