The early 2000s were a strange times.
True. I spent most of May 2002 sitting perfectly still in a large room of other people doing the same.
They were certainly a strange time in my life. On the other hand, stranger than frolicking in a pool of Pepto-Bismol?
I kept expecting the girl in the video to start slaying vampires.
Starting of course with that epitome of toolishness playing the piano.
It was a different time. People could still feel then.

So heebie's link made me want to shoot myself in the head, so I'm now listening to crappy pop to cheer myself up.
In this video doesn't Keri Hilson make a terrible Diana Ross. Also, there's no way to make Josephine Baker's dancing not look impossibly weird.

Stanley is my musical inspiration!

As far as I know, this was heebie's last link. Your reaction is a little extreme.
Stanley, I don't care what they're paying you, it's not enough to have to play this song.
Are his antics really that over-the-top in a music video context? It's been a while since I've watched a lot of music videos, but I'm sure I could find plenty in which the singer's antics rise much higher above the metaphorical top. E.g.
12: In the Black Crowes video, he just looks like he's hamming it up, while in the other video, somehow the singer projects that he really means it. The fade out where he's looking soulfully into the camera is hard to watch.
I realize that this pales in comparison with the trials of the person described in the Jay-Z thread, but I'd just like to state for the record that the Continental-UA merger has been seriously aggravating. It now costs approximately 3X more to fly anywhere direct.
Carry on.
Drive to Pittsburgh and fly Southwest.
I'm very unhappy with Stanley for getting this song stuck in my head. I hadn't heard it in years, which was as I wanted.
Imagine how I feel, urple. Just awful.
Okay, now I feel kind of bad:
On August 8, 2011, DeGraw was hospitalized after being assaulted by several persons in New York City.[10] Police said a group of men attacked DeGraw early Sunday morning at 6th Street and First Avenue in the East Village, near The National Underground. He suffered a broken nose, a concussion, two black eyes and lacerations to his face. Only minutes after the attack, DeGraw was then struck by a taxi. He was admitted to Manhattan's Bellevue Hospital Center for treatment. He had to cancel his scheduled August 9 performance at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, located in Saratoga, New York.From the Wikipedia page I consulted after realizing that I really had no idea who this guy was.
Yeah, that's a pretty crappy song and a worse video, but wtf? It's just the kind of shit that comes off the production line. You want antics? Let me introduce you to the late Mr James Morrison of Los Angeles and Paris, or to Sir Michael Jagger, KBE.
