video #34: Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend
All I wanted was to just listen to "Girlfriend" -- mainly for the drum
break that comes in at about the three minute mark -- but didn't have
the song and figured the fastest way to hear it would be just going
straight to Youtube. I wasn't even going to watch the video, but hey!
It's animated! At first I thought it was just another AMV mistagged as
the "real" video, one of hundreds or more floating around in the
oversaturated sea of fan-edits on the site. But Mr. Sweet's mug
popping in at 0:38? Yikes. Wikipedia confirms this is the real video
for the song, though if I'd had MTV as a kid like everyone else, I'd
have known this already.
The anime used for the video is Space Adventure Cobra, which one
review describes as "prime late-night material" for MST3K fans. An
obscure title today, though I'm sure it wasn't an easier for Americans
