Drew Magary on the David Lee Roth masterpiece:
Truly, this video is a masterpiece of grossly offensive racial humor. Within the first sixty seconds, you get astonishing caricatures of Latinos, Indians, AND blacks. Let's see a sketch from the Jeff Dunham Show top that! Then comes the fat lady who needs a laxative. Then comes two hot 80's skanks. I love hot 80's skanks. They have huge hair, and they jiggle a lot. You can trace the death of rock and roll directly to the unnecessary disappearance of skanks from rock videos. Mainstream rock bands today are way too serious and angsty to have skanks parading around in their videos. Asses. MORE SKANKS, PLEASE. This is why hip hop is the dominant force in music today. They have the honeys.
Then you get Roth himself dressed in African tribal blackface. But there's more! You get Roth wearing a thong! And you get Roth having a conversation with Steve Vai's guitar. AND Vai makes his guitar laugh! He totally fucking does. He uses that whammy bar for all it's worth. WAH wah wah wah wah wah! NICE.
