Worst Case Scenario by the Hoosiers

What a complete and utter crapfest!  This reminds me of the video where the people all danced, but it was "interesting" because their shadows danced as well, using different moves.  In this plotless wonder, the gimmick was to have the wooden walls shift around, appear, disappear, and defy gravity while the band sings.  I must have just gotten lucky on the last three Hoosiers videos, because this is filled with mediocrity.

Cops and Robbers by the Hoosiers

The worst Hoosiers music video yet and it's still better than most of the others!  The Hoosiers are criminals, 1853-style.  They have wanted posters up and everything.  They start off in a boat, pass through several taverns, and end up dancing in a public square.  Everybody else dances, too, until the old-fashioned police break it all up.  Though it had more of a theme than a plotline and had a lot of dancing in it, it was a lot of fun to watch.  How often do you see a music video set in 1853?  The only dastardly things they do are steal a beggar's coins and a butcher's handkerchief.  Also, random feathers are involved.

The people in the square can't really dance that well.  They're coordinated, but they mainly just put their hands up and down.

When they start dancing, you see all of the people who were seen earlier, including the guy with the lobotomy scar.

The theme is a bunch of 1853 robbers running from cops.

Worried About Ray by the Hoosiers

Wow, the song sounds a lot like "So Happy Together".  I have never heard a song sound as much like another song before.  The music video's pretty good, though.  The Hoosiers are being directed in a monster movie by Ray, who is also a sculptor.  One of his creations comes to life and attacks the band.  They stab it in the eye with a drumstick.  I'm starting to really like this band's music videos.

It's designed to look like a Ray Harryhausen movie, which unfortunately doesn't qualify as either.

Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden

In a sentence, it's an entire video of distorted people in completely random and, around 80% of the time, creepy, if only due to the uncanny valley, situations in a world where the black hole sun makes things progressively darker and sucks things up.

Blow Up the Outside World by Soundgarden

So, this guy is instructed by an old lady to "watch".  It would be kind of hard for him to do anything else, because he is strapped to a chair in front of a TV screen.  The screen mostly shows a band playing for no reason.  Probably more than half the video is this band.  The rest involves short clips, each with a word on it like "love", "mother", "father", "enemy", "happiness", "country", or "me".  Hitler gets a turn as almost every one.  At the end, the screen blows up, and the guy absorbs all of the pieces that hit him while all of the others are killed.

Goodbye Mr. A by the Hoosiers

Prior to the video, Mr. A was the greatest superhero in the world.  The three Hoosiers have now captured him and are replacing him and becoming the new superheroes.  Meanwhile, they plot ways to kill Mr. A.  The plan is to strap him to a rocket and have that rocket explode.  I loved it from beginning to end.  One of the reasons I've gone so long without updating is that I didn't trust that there were any good music videos out there amidst the barrage of crap.  This one proved me wrong.
