Everybody likes watching those YouTube clips where people at the end of their personal ropes go crazy on inanimate objects like cars, or tables, or windows, right? It would seem like Rob Thomas hopes so; his video for “Give Me The Meltdown” pays tribute to those shakily shot clips of freak-outs that get passed around workplaces, families, and e-mail lists.
