Beverly Hillbillies

I love watching the Beverly Hillbillies. I think that is one of the funniest shows that has ever been made. I like to see a country family from the hills move to the luxuries of Beverly Hills. I would love to have the money to live out in Beverly Hills or in Malibu, where you have all the famous rock stars, athletes, and movie stars that live out there. They also have all the drug rehabs out there to accommodate the rich and famous. I guess no matter how rich or famous you might be, we are all vulnerable to the powers of drugs.

Money is a drug to me and I don’t think Jed Clampett or Granny ever got the taste of that drug. What makes the Beverly Hillbillies so funny is the fact they still lived their lives, as if they were still in the hills of Tennessee. You never seen the family really take advantage of all the millions of dollars they had. It seem like Jethro with his 6th grade education had the most use of Jed’s millions, but he never really went overboard either. I’m sure there are bankers out there that see the show and are envious of Mr. Drysdale. I guess all bankers would love to have someone with millions of dollars in their bank, but never any reasons to spend all that money.

The theme song from the Beverly Hillbillies is a very catchy tune that I’m sure most people in your office could sing along, if you started belching out the lyrics. I think a sitcom that is funny and has a great theme song will survive for many years. It’s been many decades since the Beverly Hillbillies have been made and you can still see the show running on TBS (the Superstation) or a network like TV Land. I would imagine the show will be on for many generations to come. I would also guess that the people that created the show and starred in the show could have never imagined that it would still be as popular as it is so many years later.

Land As Good As Gold

I’m not sure why so many people go out looking for small pieces of gold, when all you have to do is buy land instead. Land is just going to continue to go up as our population increases. It doesn’t take a genius to see that the more people that are on this planet, the less places they are for them to live on. So land is going to be more valuable than gold for now and in the future. I wish I could win the lottery and I would hire a real estate agent so I could start purchasing land all over my state and probably the country too. You have to invest that money some where and I think real estate would be the best way to invest any large sums of money that you might get from the lottery or anywhere else. I currently don’t own any real estate, but I would love to have a little extra money that I could spend on land. I would just buy it and wait for it to increase as more and more things get built up around it. So if you have any extra money just laying around and you’re looking for a good place to stash it at, consider investing your money into real estate.

Number 1 Music Video of All Time

It’s finally here! My top video of all time is about to be announced. The top music video of all time actually doesn’t even have a video for it. Does that make sense? Well I will explain that in just a bit, but let’s first look back at the top music videos on my top 10 countdown. These videos were determined by personal taste and popularity of the particular video. I selected videos from today and the ones from yesterday, so they cover a broad range of years.

10. Avril Lavigne

9. REM

8. Alanis Morisette

7. Aerosmith

6. Duran Duran

5. Nirvana

4. Run DMC w/special guest

3. Metallica

2. Michael Jackson (It’s Not Thriller)

1. ???

So there are the top 9 videos and now on to the best video of all time!

Like I stated earlier, the best video of all time doesn’t actually have a video! So how is that possible? Well the top video of all time has had many people to do videos for it, but there has never been an official video for it. The group that performs in the video doesn’t have a video for their song (to the best of my knowledge); however many different church groups have used this song and have performed several different skits for this song. There are no doubts this is the best video I have ever seen and its very powerful to watch.

The video is a little over 5 minutes long and you really need to watch the whole video to grasp its magnitude. The video starts off slow and you might not fully understand what is going on. Pretty much all the skits that have been done by this video, use the same story and dance moves to get the message across.

The story always shows a young girl that starts off with having a relationship with this holy figure. Soon the girl meets up with a boyfriend and love drives the girl farther away from this holy figure. From there other temptations drive the girl away from this holy figure, such as money, alcohol, depression, and the need to be skinny. You get to watch the story unfold as this young girl continues to get further and further away from this holy figure. This is a very powerful video to watch and if you will sit back and watch it until the end, you will see what I am talking about.

Best Video of All Time (Number 1 Video)

What did you think?

I found that to be the best video I have ever seen. There are more versions of this song you can find at YouTube.com. Just go to YouTube and do a search for Everything by Lifehouse or the Lifehouse skit. The song is called Everything and Lifehouse is the band that sings it. Other variations of this video is basically the same, where they use a young girl and the distractions that we face in everyday life and how those distractions might lead us away from the religion or holy faith that we might believe in. I thought the video above was the best skit I saw, but a lot of the other ones are good too.

So now my top 10 music videos of all time has been completed. How did I do? Did I miss a video that you thought I should have had in my top 10 countdown? Did I have a video in my top 10 that you think should have never been in any top 10 music video countdown? Maybe you saw a video I had too high or too low on the list and it needed to be placed higher/lower in the countdown. Let me know your thoughts, opinions, or suggestions on my top 10 music video countdown.
