    George Harrison - Got My Mind Set On You The other version is cool too, but I preferred the one with the haunted house.

      That dancing scene in the middle… gets me cracking up every time. Like who thought that made any sense?

      This song was in my head as a kid for as long as I can remember. At some point almost every few days this song would pop into my head. All the way through high school, when I started to get into music of my own. Then it got put into my brain storage. Still pops up once in a while though.

    The first was Michael Jackson's Beat It.
    The second, shown immediately after, was Weird Al's Eat It.
    I was instantly a Weird Al fan for life.

      Ever heard Hardware Store? Easily my favourite song by him, not just for the funny lyrics, but also how actually musically good it is!

        I adore Hardware Store. It's one of the ones he doesn't perform live, because he can't reliably nail one part of it. Anyone who's heard it knows the part.

    Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. It didn't make me excited to watch more music videos.

    I'm not sure if this counts. But it's basically a collection of music videos. It's a movie. Specifically Michael jackson - Moonwalker.

    The movie has a basic plotline with Michael Jackson performing songs inbetween. They range from concerts to music videos. My introduction to the Smooth Criminal music video was through this movie.

    I don't remember what this movie was about, but robot Michael Jackson was one of my earliest memories. For the longest time, I thought it was some bullshit my kid self dreamt up.

    But no, it's real.

    Edit: Re-watching Smooth Criminal and it's still very cool decades later. Kind of sad how things went down for him. Also sad how things started too if you think about it.

          Oops. I fixed it now. What MEANT to ask was if you lived near a pier in Grand Theft Auto. From your response, I'm assuming yes.

    RHCP are a very nostalgic band for me, they somehow embody this essence of California and 90s Americana that is so pure. Everything from their attitude, to their fashions, to the lyrics and the music videos.

    It screams 90s, early 00s, and Americana.

    I recall seeing at least part of Pink Floyd's The Wall when I was pretty little in the early 80s along with watching Michael Jackson's Thriller at a birthday party. It's weird thinking that music videos were completely in their infancy when I was a young kid.
    Thinking about it a little more I remember seeing Helix - Rock You when I was in kindergarten, so it must've been around 1985.

    Rymdreglage - 8 Bit Trip

    My youth is showing here but I was super into stop motion animation back in 2008 as a kid and I remember this being among the search results on YouTube at the time. I attribute my current love for chiptune music to this song.

            Wow, those builds must've been a lot of fun! I love Lego but never really got the big sets. Only recently did I get the 10295 Porsche 911 Turbo set and I had a blast. Currently looking at getting some other sets but I don't have the space for them haha. Hopefully when I move out, I can get a little shelf or something to showcase my sets.

              So much fun. The Saturn V is awesome because it breaks apart into it's different stages. Technicals are always fun no matter the size.
