Girl, You Know It’s True!!!
I love Youtube.com for many reasons. Today, I love Youtube because of this:
Wow!!! I forgot how awesome Milli Vanili was. Even though it turns out Rob and Fab didn’t even sing these songs, it doesn’t make these music videos any less impressive. The acting at the beginning is wonderful. The dance moves are also very entertaining, especially the run in place move which I think might be their favorite. I noticed it in several of the Milli Vanili videos posted on Youtube. I also like the chest bump, the jumps and toe touches. Awe-Some! The production quality of this late 80’s music video is also great. I love the slow-mo as Rob and Fab chase each other through the park. So sweet.
You can’t watch this and not smile. So, I propose deeming every Wednesday… Milli Vanilli Wednesday here on the morning show. We’d play it before the show to get pumped up. We’d listen, we’d run in place Milli Vanilli style, perhaps throw in a chest bump or toe touch. After that, you’d be ready to go. All smiles and amped for a good two hour GMNW. Girl, you know it’s true!

It hurts to watch that video because it’s so my generation. Why did we think they were cool? Why did so many of us (not me) try and dance like them?
I can still remember my friend Ryan popping in a tape in the car (tape, not CD) on the way to school, thinking, THIS IS SWEET!
The acting, if we dare to call it that, was really bad. It does make me smile though, so thank you.
I look forward to next Wednesday! WOOT!
Are you kidding?!?! LOVED them! (Lipsync-and-all)

Ok, this was my generation (high school) too…but NO WAY would I ever admit to listening to these two guys back in the day or listen to their music in front of friends. They were like the group you made fun of in public and secretly listened to when nobody was around.
I will admit though…’Girl I’m gonna miss you’ was a great song.
A post for Tom:
I’m not admitting to watching that….or enjoying it either.
My husband Derek was so upset when he found out Milli Vanilli was fake, he and a friend tore the tape out of their cassette tapes and set it on fire!!!!! I always thought the guys who actually sang for Milli Vanilli should have a record deal. They were good!
