Good (?) Song: Keep the Dogs Away by Thor
Bad Video: When your band is fronted by a bodybuilder with the last name Thor, it’s clear you may not be headed for superstardom.
0:10 - Thor’s famous “stagger away from the microphone” dance.
0:51 - I believe that’s Derek Smalls from Spinal Tap.
1:44 - Thor was the first band to be fronted by a He-Man action figure.
2:09 - That lightning bolt sign features two, count ‘em, TWO, colors of lightning bolt.
2:40 - Oh good - I’m glad there’s more, I wasn’t sure what the message was yet.
3:10 - ‘Cause the song’s about dogs. Get it?

About me
Music is the joy of joys, but sometimes, words can get in the way. Be it a weak metaphor, a forced rhyme, or just pure nonsense - lyrics can go wrong a hundred ways. It won't stop us from loving a song, but it might give us pause to say, "Wait... what?""And, as I say, 70% is how you look, 20% is how you sound, only 10% is what you say." -Eddie Izzard
