Music videos ruined by extra overdubbed sound

Post by Mister Freeze »

Tesla "Love Song" - Great song, cool video, but so much distracting, crowd noise, it makes Kiss Alive look subtle.

Mick Jagger "Lucky in Love" - Includes some plot about kids, coins, and guns, all noticeably louder than the music.

Ray Parker, Jr. "Ghostbusters" - You know that part with the B-list celebrity cameos during the chorus? You can actually hear them :|

“I’m the Man” by Anthrax. You can barely hear the funny parts over the fake crowd noise.

Hazard, by Richard Marx. The middle where the sheriff is asking him why did he tie this around Miss Mary's throat is annoying and ruins the tone of the song.

If I quit playing, what have I got?

Sorry, couldn’t resist! I love those early Bon Jovi videos!

Sidebar question…In the comments on so many YouTube videos, people write “who’s here is 2025?” What is the point of this?

I had a buddy in the ‘80s who used to tape the videos from the TV with a cassette recorder just for this reason. We’d jam them in the car and crack up at the stupid sound fx. I clearly remember the Twisted Sister video with the whoa-oh-oooooh when the guy flew down the stairs or whatever. :lol: And the smashing glass and shit like that. Whenever we’d hear them on the radio the normal way we’d do all the sound effects ourselves in unison like Rocky Horror Picture Show. To this day I hear all that stuff in my head when I hear those songs.

When I was messing with a remix of KISS’ “Turn On The Night” a while back I couldn’t believe how loud the silly lightning/electricity sound effect was. It was comical (not on purpose). Speaking of KISS, I was just discussing this topic a couple days ago with the Mrs because a certain content creator did an edit of RARAN and he used the live clip of Ace shooting a bottle rocket from his guitar and he added a sound effect that is like 3X as loud as the song and it instantly took me back to the MTV days. :mrgreen:

Didn’t Too Young Too Fall In Love have a bunch of fighting noises in it?
Or was it All Hells Breaking Loose?

Both of them did, they're practically the same video.

None that I can think of at the moment but I'm sure there was some.

If anything, I have the opposite issue. If I heard the video first with overdubbed sounds, I'm a little disappointed when I don't hear the sounds when listening to the studio version.

“No Way Out” - Starship

Explosions, bombs, talking. The overdubs were louder than the song!

Not hard rock but Toby Keith did a few videos: My List, I Love this Bar, As Good as I Once Was, probably more. I get the humor but could've done without the sound interrupting the songs.

Music videos are just commercials for the albums. You want to hear it without any annoyances? buy the record - Good lord! :lol:

Dennis DeYoung's "Desert Moon" where his friend is talking to him about his ex leaving town in the middle of the song.

Anything with dialogue over the music. Always thought the Guido who says, "24 hours boys" in Bon Jovi "In And Out Of Love" over the music video was stupid. That being said, I don't mind dialogue before and after the tunes, just not during.

Watched “Owner Of A Lonely Heart” video last night.
There was about a 30 second gap from 1st chorus and second verse.
Just hawks flying and snakes slithering around.

For some reason, MuchMusic only played this extended version starring a pre-Survivor Jerri Manthey,

Yes! Just goofy. The song starts completely over, doesn’t it? There’s the original version of the video that is completely different
