Awkward Black Guys In Rick Astley Videos

After watching all of Rick Astley's music videos I found a rather disturbing trend, all but one of his original videos (Whenever You Need Somebody) had a black guy looking very awkward into the camera.
Examples (click on the pictures to view the videos):
1:01 - Cry For Help
1:01
1:06 - Together Forever

0:53 - Never Gonna Give You Up

1:25 - Hold Me In Your Arms

Which Christmas Album Is Worse?

Part One of an Ongoing Series of finding out which Christmas Album is the worst of all-time.
vs
Our first match-up is William Hung's Hung for the Holidays against Ringo Starr's I Wanna Be Santa Claus.

Hung for the Holidays reminds me of the first time I took Viagra.I wanted to surprise my girlfriend using it to give her an early Christmas present but then her parents came early to visit and it was all ruined but that story is neither here or there.

Let us compare the album covers. Both have the artists creepily being dressed up like Santa. It's a close one but I think Hung's cover is the worst due to pure low quality photoshop charm. So I got Hung 1 Starr 0.

The other major component is the quality of music and this is where Hung pulls away from the former Beatle. Let us compare two songs from each album. First listen to Hung's Little Drummer Boy (sorry I couldn't find a full version of any of his christmas songs except for one bonus track) and then compare to Ringo's version. Ringo is obviously the better artist so I think you have to give Hung the win.

Here is the one bonus track from Hung for the Holidays that I could find:

The Greatest Love Song Ever Written Is About A Dog?

Crazy For You by David Hasselhoff is one of the greatest (and catchiest) songs ever written by a Baywatch actor (barely beating out Carmen Electra's Go Go Dancer). I was quite surprised when I watched the video to find out that 'The Hoff' was actually singing about a dog. The recipient of David's love was this lucky pooch:


Watch the above video and witness one of the greatest songs about the love between a man and a dog ever written by a Baywatch actor (and most likely the only love song written by a Baywatch actor about a dog).

If you are really digging the song here is a link for the 6 minute single version of the song. My new jogging mixtape is just the 6 minute version of this song on repeat!

As always comments are appreciated!
