Music Videos: At the Diner

MxPx - Chick Magnet
For some odd reason my two all time favorite music videos take place in diners.

The one you're about to watch is by my all time favorite band, MxPx. In this video from their 1996 release Life In General, the band decided for the first time to cast themselves in roles that didn't just include holding instruments and lip synching. Here the trio instead use their drummer and one of the most haggard looking human beings in the World, Yuri Ruley, as the title character, the "chick magnet." For me it was the cheesiness factor that made the video. Also, at about the 2:08 mark, the Chick Magnet uses a french fry as a Grouch Marx cigar to the delight of a throng of ladies.

Watch it HERE.
