Shine On Me: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

"Shine on Me" is a song by Chris Dane Owens (son of ''[[Laugh In]]'' star Gary Owens) from his album ''Blue Stone''. An 80's love song made in 2008, under most circumstances it would just be thrown in the [[Guilty Pleasures]] pile without another look. But that was before Owens, armed with a budget that he's too embarrassed to admit, footage from other movies, a green screen, [http://www.robertshort.com/ Robert Short] and a [[Porn Stache]], created an incomprehensible mess of a music video jammed with as many over-the-top fantasy cliches as possible.

And by "fantasy cliches", we mean all the evil sirens, dragons, [[Stuff Blowing Up|explosions]], assorted swashbuckling, stallions, fair maidens, floating fair maidens, glowing books, ghosts, goths, an electric guitar, sculpted body armour, sculpted body armor nipples, pirate ships, exploding pirate ships, a Legolas lookalike, a Dr. Doom lookalike, witches, hot witches in catsuits, spinning crystals, [[Instant Awesome Just Add Dragons|dragons]], Stonehenge, [[Chroma Key|awful bluescreen effects]] and an [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|alligator.]] ... well, by now it's safe to say it's made of pure awesome. And [[So Bad It's Good|cheese.]]

Was [[Cracked|Cracked.com]]'s #1 for the "6 Worst Professional Music Video" (of course Swaim ends up saying "Who am I kidding, this video is fucking amazing" at the end) and won ''The New Yorker'''s "Video Of The Year" award.
