_Oh My God_ by G-Idle I’ve posted about this "Quick, what’s your current earworm? thread. G-Idle is a Kpop group and the visuals and lyrics of this and some of their other songs, most notably _Tomboy_ goes against the typically conservative South Korean norms. _Oh My God_’s visuals are incredibly artistic and beautiful and when paired with the lyrics, paints an absolutely compelling picture! Turn on the CC for English lyrics.

Two that are particularly fascinating. Ab imo pectore (spoken towards the end and written under Minnie’s eyes) is Latin for From the bottom of my heart (lit: From the bottom of my chest) or With deep affection and attributed to Julius Caesar.

It’s no _Warm Hole_, but not bad. ---

I’m fairly indifferent to the Red Hot Chili Peppers in general but the video for “Otherside” is a love letter to German expressionism and films like _The Cabinet of Dr Caligari_. Very nicely done. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/rn_YodiJO6k/maxresdefault.jpg "Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside [Official Music Video]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn_YodiJO6k) I am, however, a big fan of Cyriak Harris as a visual artist. And while he often (indeed usually) leans into extreme grotesquery, his video for “Yellow Bridges” by El Ten Eleven is a lovely thing: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/6W_ETBVdoKc/maxresdefault.jpg "El Ten Eleven "Yellow Bridges" music video") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W_ETBVdoKc) ---

Take On Me? It’s one of the greatest music videos ever made. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/djV11Xbc914/maxresdefault.jpg "a-ha - Take On Me (Official Video) [Remastered in 4K]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914) ---

Godley & Creme’s “Cry.” It’s from 1985, before computer “morphing” of images was really available, so all of the changes from face to face were done with traditional film editing techniques (dissolves and wipes).
