Finally there’s a video for the new Carly Rae Jepsen (and that other guy named Owl City who should dress up like Hitler for Halloween if he hasn’t already) song, “Good Time.” I would like to say I love this video—but I can’t… because if you’re going to name a song “Good Time” it seems counterintuitive for the video to depict people that are having “a barely okay time.” WHY DON’T THESE PEOPLE EVER LET ME DIRECT THEIR VIDEOS?? I would’ve totally put Carly and that Hitler-looking guy in absolutely TERRIBLE situations—trying to escape across a Serbian battlefield, running from an earthquake, being pursued by a masked, axe-wielding serial murderer, eating rotten yogurt… because even when things are at their worst, when these two are together, “it’s always a good time.” GET IT?? IT’S CALLED “IRONY.” Sheesh. Wake up, video directors!! Regardless, I love this song anyway. (Though Carly should sing first, and then Owl Hitler. Wake up, hit song producers!!)
Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.) More by Wm. Steven Humphrey
UGH.. WHO ACTUALLY DRIVES A FIAT? THAT IS NOT A GOOD TIME.
That video was almost impossible to masturbate to. Almost.
I would much rather have the Cougar convertible than ANY Fiat.
