Take this.

Back For Good by Take That is a song that holds a special place in my heart. I'm not really sure why. Sure, it's a good soft song. It reminds me of watching music videos on TV with my sister, I guess when she was just getting into the pop-music-obsessive teenage stage, and music videos used to be cool, and I was exposed to whatever she was infatuated with. I also remember clearly that one day I was blowdrying my hair at the edge of my parents' bed and my sister told me to shut up because Take That was having a press conference to announce that they were breaking up, and I didn't see why that was a big deal. The music video for Back For Good is very distinct; it's greyscale, and they're singing in the rain, which the Backstreet Boys (in my opinion?) later mimicked in their Quit Playing Games video.
Anyway I looked it up on Youtube today for fun, and when I watched the whole thing through again, I was flabbergasted at a) how boring it was, and b) how bad they dance. Most music videos that I can think of usually had some sort of plot, and/or crazy sets and costumes. They are just sitting around, singing and playing guitar in the rain. And dancing. Their dancing is absolutely atrocious, compounding my assertion that white boys can't dance. I felt sort of bad watching after awhile. So I guess in a way it's good, because it'll make me get back to studying now.
And here goes... my first time posting a video.
