MTV Buzzworthy Blog › 702

Perusing the MTV Video Yearbook for 1999 a few things jump out at you. One, several artists who were on top of the world ten years ago are now in the throes of their comebacks (Eminem, Blink-182). Two, some artists who were on top then never made it back to those pre-millenial glory days (Len, 702). But the most striking thing about this year was clearly the fact that bands wore fake mustaches in their music videos and, perhaps more perplexing, we found it hi-lar-i-ous. Like...it's funny. But it's not so funny that you'd say, "let's hang the the success or failure of this expensive music video on the humorous effect cause by a dude wearing fake facial hair." Oh, "Sabotage," you have so much to answer for.
