Uncomfortable Children's Entertainment
I know that there's nothing specifically wrong with a young boy singing Phil Collins' classic "In Too Deep" to a mopey white kid wearing Don Johnson's jacket from Miami Vice. Still... something isn't right here:
The questions raised by this clip are numerous and disturbing. Particularly, what could an eleven year old kid be into that he's, currently, "in too deep?" Pokemon? Addiction to Razzles? Betting on Freeze Tag? Also, can the mopey kid see the kid that's singing, or is he like his lite-FM consciences?
Yeah, somehow, I don't think this clip is on the level, strictly speaking. The only conclusion that I've been able to come up with is that this is part of the daytime programming on Videodrome.

Nope, not on the level-- any level in fact.
I say if you are going to wear a leather beret and sing to a 12 year old with a comb over-- just go for it, ya know? Enough with the "you know i LIKE you" bullshit.
because we know you love him.

Yeah, I get the feeling this video is going to be admitted one day as State's evidence.
It's the begining of something really bad.
I have spent a lot of time (over 90 seconds) evaluating this video and I have come to the following conclusion...
Miami Vice Kid was just telling Beret Kid that he met some really cool 8th graders and they said if he wants to hang with them he has to smoke cigarettes. Beret Kid was explaining the dangers of smoking and told a story about his cousin, who smoked a cigarette once and the next day he smoked marijuana and now he smokes crack. He learned in D.A.R.E. that nicotine is a gateway drug.
But he just wasn't getting through to Miami Vice Kid, so he had to break out into a not at all homo sounding Phil Collins song. And you can tell it's all hitting home with Miami Vice Kid. He LIKES Beret Kid, too, and he knows smoking is wrong. He's going to go tell those 8th graders that smoking shows just how UNCOOL they really are. How ironic!
Love,
Wife, who is going on six days trapped in the house sick and has officially read everything on the internet. May have to switch to real books soon.
I had that white kids haircut in junior high (circa-1991). Boy, that's scary.
I didn't have the cool white linen jacket, though. I had the graffiti-strewn sweatshirt. Man, was I cool.
Wife... If you think you've read everything the internet has to offer, I'd say it's high time to switch over to it's endless bounty of porn. Makes the hours fly by.
Jonathan T... I wish I had a graffiti-strewn sweatshirt. I'd totally wear that shit right now.
This video makes me want to grow my hair out so that I can hairspray it all to keep in place.
It makes me want to buy a leather beret and sing in a high-pitched voice. But that's me.
Loved wife's take on that, and i would not be surprised if that is EXACTLY what happened before leather beret broke out into "not at all homo sounding" song.
ps- sublimedirectory.com = free porn

Anything that equals free porn is automatically the best thing ever. Unless it's something that equals free liquor.
Then it's a toss-up.
For real: a kid in my 6th grade class sang this song at a talent show.
This video creeps me out.
I'm going to have to share.
That beats my 6th grade talent show, which featured four different girls singing selections from The Little Mermaid.
