Red Hot Chili Peppers

Here's a nice, mellow tune. The Chili Peppers are a creative group and always deliver eye candy. This is a lesser known song — it was in the movie Coneheads. But I love it. It's got a peaceful groove and a funky breakdown. The life of a carnie has always intrigued me. It's a bizarro world, and a bit dusty, but so mysterious. The acrobats are my favorite. The characters in this video — including a medusa Anthony Kiedis and a bowler-hat-wearing Flea — are slightly sad. Alas, I imagine the traveling funfair life of a carnie is just that. Step right up . . .

I don't know why I'm so amused by these literal versions of videos, but I am. This one's not as good as the A-Ha vid or the Tears For Fears vid, but it's still quite amusing, especially when we get to watch Anthony Kiedis's pecs in slo-mo. Good times.

There are good looking boy bands, and there is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They've been around the block, but they are still going strong. I, however, prefer their Blood Sugar Sex Magik era - both musically and for style. The RHCP have always had style, from Anthony Kiedis' ever-evolving hair styles to Flea's elaborate costumes (remember the stuffed animal pants?!). I swoon for guys that are both musical and aren't afraid to dress in...

chain mail skirts, glitter lipstick, mirrored pants, metallic Doc Martens and devil horns. These are the wardrobe choices for their part glam rock, part tribal music video of 1991. The groundbreaking video, directed by Stéphane Sednaou, broke conventions with its intense, sporadic energy and aforementioned get ups. Shot in black and white, the band members were spray painted gold - though they appear to be silver. My favorite outfit in the video? Anthony's little mirror-trim metallic speedo and the skyward view between his legs. (Wink)
