Top 10 Musical Movies Of All Time

Music is proven to be a fun and beneficial activity. Studies show that music can help children become better listeners, work through conceptual reasoning challenges in new ways, and engage both sides of the brain. The benefits don’t stop when your child graduates from school. They last their whole life. Considering adding music into your home? Here are five musical instruments you can get your kids to start with:

The Xylophone

Playing the xylophone is an easy way to introduce children to music. The instrument comes in various colours and shapes that will catch their eye, making it easier for them to learn how the song goes with just one glance.

Hand Percussion

Hand percussion instruments are easy for children to play because they can use their hands and immediately start making music. Playing these instruments helps with coordination, teaches rhythm skills, and is an excellent way to make noise in the classroom. Moreover, these instruments help kids with their hand-eye coordination and teach them how to keep a steady beat.

Piano

Playing the piano has been proven to improve concentration, reduce stress and anxiety levels, and increase self-esteem. Fine motor skills are also improved in pianists of all ages.

Ukulele

You can’t help but smile while playing the ukulele! Play with your child, and you’re guaranteed to get smiles. The instrument is easy for kids, inexpensive, and provides a great way to improve hand-eye coordination as they play songs in just weeks or days.

Drums

While a drum set might not be the quietest instrument, it is one of the most popular and versatile ones. Parents need to ask themselves if they want their child to have access just to this fun musical toy. Although some parents may think that kids will get bored quickly or even hurt themselves with all those drums, these children are often enthralled by what they can do on them – especially when nobody else in the class has something like it. There are also plenty of ways to dampen sounds from an acoustic drum kit, so noise isn’t as much an issue anymore.

The final decade of the 1990s was full of strange things. There were many strange song releases with corresponding visuals like in those old MTV days. You could find Aphex Twin or The Prodigy on just about every channel. There could be intense visual creativity (and probably bad acting), as seen in songs such as “Breathe” and “Dragula.” However, it’s not even close to the actual weirdest music videos from the 90s.

What you’re about to read is something you may not expect. Now, don’t try to find these videos on the Internet. There’s so much variety: surreal ones that start and end weirdly; others that give us only brief flashes of wackiness. So, all of them are worth a watch. Grab your rappel gear because we’ll be taking a climb down into the 90s history, looking at 5 awesomely weird music videos.

Nothing Really Matters – Madonna (1998)

Madonna’s song and video, “Nothing Really Matters,” is full of strange occurrences. The video opens as we see Madonna in a kung-fu grip on the water-filled plastic bag. The scene seems to contradict her lyrics about nothing really matters. Plus, there is this spastic dancing throughout the music video by Madge herself and other people. They appear to be close friends with her, judging by their hair color. The strangest occurrence has to be those eyebrows permanently raised higher than possible while still looking natural at the same time.

Sock It 2 Me – Missy Elliott & Da Brat (1997)

Missy poses no stranger to ordinary music videos, including this one from her iconic debut album. The video for “Sock It 2 Me” features lots of green screen action and spacemen figurines shooting laser blasts towards each other. The scene looks like a precursor to what was in store when Missy took over rap with Supa Dupa Fly’s attitude. The following song made even more sense once we saw how she could really get down (with laughs). Yes, it’s weird but then again, so are Hollywood movies where superheroes fight baddies on top skyscrapers. They’re just different kinds of strange until you take them into context and see why they can be good things.

Groove Is In The Heart – Deee-Lite (1990)

When you start with the song’s jarring intro, it’s not like we can’t tell there will be something weird happening. But then the song gets progressively more bizarre, like what is “succotash wish”? And don’t even get started on how much fun that psychedelic DJ disco party was. Twirly might as well have been invented for this video because we’re telling you right now; they’ve never looked so good together before in our life.

Thinking of You (I Drive Myself Crazy) – N’SYNC (1997)

The guys from N’SYNC are a little off their rocker in this 90s music video. They’re all dressed up like crazy people and singing about how they drive themselves crazy when thinking of you. It’s too bad that the boys wouldn’t be allowed to make videos like these nowadays. At least, we’ll always have our memories of some dapper dudes hitting high notes for us on stage or your TV screens back then.

Blue (Da Ba Dee) – Eiffel 65 (1999)

The music video is just as weird, featuring blue alien headbanging with automatic tuning. It sounds like they are mocking the song. The music video was probably released in the 90s when computer graphics were making their way onto screens. At that time, no one knew what to do with them, so we got really cheesy videos like this. Everything from aliens to humans looks fake or pixilated, giving it its “so-bad-it’s good” status.

That’s all for now! Let us know in the comments section what you felt after seeing these weirdest music videos from the 90s.
