Video I've Seen Too Many Times #4: One Thing
One Direction is another one of those musical phenomena that was insanely popular even though I had no idea who they were. Although, in this case, it's fair to say that I'm not really in their demographic. They seem to be a more or less standard boyband, although I'm having a little trouble figuring out which one is supposed to be the "tough" one, since they all look about as tough as soggy bread.
Oddly enough, since I don't have to watch the entire video every time, I still have no idea what the "One Thing" is. I do know that the one in the tie has tried playing it cool, though. Boy, do I ever know that. Enjoy!

Video I've Seen Too Many Times #3: Feel This Moment
This video (and much of the song) seems to be about how awesome Pitbull is. Which is weird, because pitbulls are banned in my province. While it's sort of catchy, most of its appeal comes from its heavy use of a sample from a-ha's Take On Me. When you include the guys who wrote that song, Feel This Moment has a total of ten writers, which seems a bit excessive.
Personally, I prefer a-ha's song, but what do I know. Maybe it's because I didn't have to watch it 60 times this week.
