Das Racists and Video Dance History


Can you name all the Michael Jackson music videos cited in this new one?

There is likely some insane inside joke here about earning 1M just by saying "Michael Jackson," but I find using pastiche as a mode of production, not just presentation, quite interesting. Das Racists are definitely "overedumacated" traffickers in histrionics and assorted tomfoolery, yet, the collisions they create in their lyrics and videos causes somatic dissonance, which ain't supposed to happen. Throw the corpo-real something, it will calculate, right? Well, apparently, fact is not only stranger than fiction, but is fiction.
