00:00You know, now that I think about it, he's kind of like doing this OG ex-boyfriend DM slide,
00:07but like with a real slide, like in the court. So yeah, he was kind of gangsta for that one,
00:14but also that's kind of trifling. So don't slide in people DMs, even if you think you're as smooth
00:19as Michael Jackson. You're not, it's foolish. Hey, Naturally Curly World, it's Alexandra.
00:24I'm April. I'm Gerilyn. And this is the best ever, the best ever,
00:28the best ever throwback music videos.
00:35What we're going to do right here is go back, way back, back into time.
00:41My favorite throwback music video, got to give it up to Lady Marmalade.
00:45Hey, sister go, sister soul, sister flow, sister flow, sister flow, sister flow, sister flow, sister flow, sister flow, sister flow.
00:53We have Missy Elliott doing a brief cameo. We have Lil' Kim.
00:57We have Christina Aguilera. We have Maya. We have Pink.
01:01Just five fancy ladies saying, I'm going to get this money in lingerie.
01:09So today music videos are really, really whack.
01:12It's truly just about throwing ones, being in a club, popping bottles,
01:17and that's not really that entertaining.
01:19So when I think about the best ever music videos, TLC, No Scrubs.
01:26No, I don't want no scrub.
01:29The scrub doesn't gotta hangin' no love from me.
01:32Definitely tops it all.
01:34Like that song, No Scrubs, y'all.
01:37So my all-time favorite video is not what I'm going to share with you today.
01:43But I will tell you what my all-time favorite throwback video from Michael Jackson is.
01:50And I could go with Thriller.
01:52However, personally, mine is Remember the Time.
01:57I mean, Michael Jackson videos were something that you went to school
02:12and you look forward to going home.
02:15Because, you know, when you go home, you gotta do homework.
02:17But when Michael Jackson was coming out with a video,
02:20you were trying to get home as soon as possible.
02:23So you could be the first person going back to school,
02:27showing up and be like, I got the new dance moves.
02:29That music video, I credit it with starting my love of corsets.
02:33I have a huge collection now.
02:35Granted, they're skinny enough that they can wear Fredericks of Hollywood
02:39without the plastic warping too much.
02:41So I get like the metal hardcore ones.
02:43But that was where it started.
02:45So they were wearing like these black leather bodysuits
02:50and their hair was so bold and their attitude was so sassy.
02:55And I was just so here for it.
02:56Because it's not just a moonwalk.
02:58I mean, it's like some kind of Egyptian,
03:02voguing thing that we had never seen before.
03:04It was amazing.
03:06And my biggest sadness,
03:08I love doing karaoke, you guys.
03:10They always leave out Lil' Kim's verse.
03:14Every time.
03:16And I am always willing to be Lil' Kim in my friend group
03:20because I'm the only one that can rap.
03:22And I just...
03:23I get up there and I'm just like,
03:25we come through with...
03:26Oh.
03:27Oh.
03:29Oh.
03:31Hmm.
03:32But that got me into, you know,
03:35being darker woman with blonde hair.
03:38That got me into wanting a huge,
03:41poofy wig like Christina had on.
03:43And just giant sunblocking,
03:47cascading curls all the way down my back.
03:50I want to be pampered.
03:51I want to be heavily made up.
03:53I don't have it in me to be a sex worker
03:55because I'm not cool like that.
03:57But all the ladies and gentlemen
03:59and others that are out there in the game,
04:02props.
04:02Meanwhile, I'm going to be over here fantasizing
04:05with this music video.
04:07Then, oh, can't even forget,
04:09left eye came on the scene.
04:11Her part is like by far my favorite verse
04:14of the whole song.
04:16She is so bold,
04:18so much sass and just individuality.
04:21And it truly showed in that music video.
04:23The brilliant and magnificent Eddie Murphy.
04:25He plays a king
04:27and Iman is his queen.
04:30So here comes Michael Jackson
04:31being his magical black self.
04:35And he thoroughly impresses Iman, okay?
04:39She is sitting here like gasping for air
04:41because he's got that smooth criminal going on.
04:45But in Egyptian times
04:47when the kings and the queens ruled Egypt.
04:50Okay, so.
04:52And then one of my favorite parts
04:54is when he starts pointing at Iman
04:58to tell her,
04:59do you remember
05:01back in the park,
05:03back in Spain,
05:05he's like going full on throwback at her
05:08because he's really trying to throw her back
05:10to this time when
05:12they were in love
05:14and they were super happy.
05:16And, you know,
05:17now that I think about it,
05:18he's kind of like doing this OG
05:21ex-boyfriend DM slide,
05:24but like with a real slide,
05:26like in the court.
05:28So yeah,
05:29he was kind of gangsta for that one.
05:31But also,
05:31that's kind of a tribe one.
05:33So don't slide on people DMs
05:35even if you think
05:36you are as smooth as Michael Jackson.
05:37You're not.
05:38It's foolish.
05:39Everybody's just getting down in Africa,
05:40having a great time.
05:42There's kitty cats running around.
05:44There's people jamming
05:45and doing like body rolls
05:47and that's pretty cool,
05:48you know,
05:48because we still do that
05:50and it's super awesome.
05:51Choreography is great
05:52and I need for you guys
05:54to understand something
05:55about Michael Jackson,
05:57okay?
05:58Michael Jackson was trill.
06:01He was trill, fam.
06:03And if you don't understand that,
06:04you need to go back
06:05and listen to Remember the Time
06:07because he was trying
06:08to tell y'all about some
