So this is about 1981 to 1983.

How about The Kinks Predictable video from Give the People What They Want. A nice self-deprecating Ray Davies narrative video.

Mr. Wentz could pick any of the Low-era Bowie vids for what can be done with very limited special effects and a high concept. ( My 14-ear-old is watching FUSE right now and the MGMT vid they're playing definitely is informed by Ashes to Ashes.)

As Midwestern boys, they should play some Violent Femmes, early stuff. Is there a frat boy alive today that doesn't know all the words to Add it Up? Or the live version of Dance, Motherfucker, Dance? (Which is actually a song written by the incomparable and incorrigable Voot Warnings). Oh, and some Promise Ring...

And what punk rock primer would be complete without playing the Clash video that everyone loved; Rock the Casbah.

As for my jams, gotta play Salt n Pepa's Push It. Did Laid Back ever make a video for Don't Ride the White Horse? They should have.

Bobby Brown - Humpin' Around

It's funky as shit, completely ridiculous, and it's got that irony/cheese factor, since most of the people watching MTV now know Bobby as a professional sleazebag, and have little recollection of his rather dope musical career.

The dozen or so glimpses of the Duffy video that I see before flipping the channel aren't quite enough? Plus, I don't recall actually complaining about MTV and videos...MTV2 and VH1 Classic, maybe, but who hasn't given up on MTV long, long ago?

Plus, the timing of his original post was totally dodgy. He was marketing the show with his fake complaints, let's just be honest.

I just don't buy that he went to MTV and pitched the show...maybe I'm wrong, though. It's certainly happened before.

Idolator pisses on MTV for not showing videos; Wentz says that's true, I'd like to start an MTV show that shows videos; Idolator says that's gonna suck cause you're Pete Wentz; Wentz says but you haven't even seen the show--what would you want to see? In this case, unfortunately, I'd say the astrigent of cold logic and good grace beats snark handily.
