Can I share some things I love with you?
They're music videos, if that helps.
Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive is one of those things that should be quintessentially tumblr but the tumblr community remains unaware of its beauty.
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive, they are a person who feels good to be alive, This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive Believes the underdog will eventually survive

"Hey, hey he fumbles for what to say He loves the world except for all the people"
What's more Tumblr than that, I ask ye?
youtube
"C'mon guys, is all this really necessary? Can't we just leave the deli tray out and split out of here?"
More songs should be about kaiju monsters attacking humanity. Imagine seeing this at a sleepover on Headbangers' Ball, then trying to explain what you saw to others enough to track it down. Congrats, you know what its like to be me at 14.
This song was Parodied on Kids next Door, I shit you not.

In keeping with cartoony metal, a literal heavy metal cartoon song. The less known but amazing "Takin' a Ride" by Don Felder from every 80s kids' first exploration into the forbidden, Heavy Metal.
The theme to Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad

What? I can't put a 90s Power Rangers tailcoat rider themesong matched to a modern anime reboots' footage on a list of my favorite music videos? You're not my mom!
I'm sorry, but "The hero always makes the cut" overrides any rules of decorum or aesthetics.

"If she asked me to I'd murder, I'd gladly give my soul."
A song that plays with the conventions of love songs to express the nature of fandom out of control.
"Now I lie in bed an think of her, sometimes I even weep, now I dream of her behind the wall of sleep."
youtube
Sometimes, art is treating a metaphor literally.
One of my favorite TMBG songs, and that's saying something, cuz 22.33364% of my favorite songs are from TMBG.
The Jenny Saga
Tell me these two songs aren't connected:

They even have similar hooks! The Killers made a sequel to a Falco song and no one noticed! GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME! WHAT'S IN THAT NEEDLE I-

Some songs are always about somebody and somewhen, but never the same someone or somewhere.

I love two things, hard rock and songs from objectively bad movies. So ACDC doing the theme song to Maximum Overdrive? Chef's fucking kiss! Listen to it twice!
It's good for ya!
Also blah blah still socially relevant blah blah its ACDC and it rocks.
Tumblr's a fucking narc and won't let me post more than ten videos per post, so lets roll this to the reblog!
