elvis costello’s ‘monkey to man’

by admin on July 14, 2008

Elvis Costello = still hot. Especially with his recent music video Monkey to Man, which is just full of bouncing babes in retro bikinis! And I mean bouncing — there are some seriously Russ Meyer camera angles in this video… and it’s super extra double plus fun. Not unfun in the least. Interestingly, I was going to embed this from YouTube but the quality was so poor (I don’t want you to miss a jiggle, dear readers) so I poked around and found this embeddable MTV version, introducing me to MTV’s high quality embeddable music videos. Cool! (PS, beware of annoying postroll ad.)

Update: A reader just commented that viewers outside the US can’t watch the MTV video, they “get a notice that ‘Copyrights restrict us from playing this video outside the U.S.’” Now that’s the lamest thing I’ve ever heard of. Okay, maybe not the lamest thing *this month* but it’s up there… Here’s another version:

BTW, will keep reading for next round of interview requests. I don’t do the virtual world of sex but have some interesting poly experiences.

5 Melvin July 14, 2008 at 8:28 pm: But f.y.i. we readers outside the US can’t watch this (get a notice that “Copyrights restrict us from playing this video outside the U.S.”)
