This super rare VHS copy of Miami Horror's 1983 classic "Don't Be on With Her" fell into our laps today and we wanted to share it with you in all it's bootleggy goodness. We're totally fucking with you, folks. Miami Horror is actually a newish Australian group whose first EP, Bravado, containing this song, is available tomorrow. The video is directed by the same duo who did today's Morning Aural, Rhett & Warren of Moop Jaw and clearly, they enjoy messing with people's minds. |

"Rainbow Kraut" by the Brisbane-based The John Steel Singers is actually a send-up of a popular Australian children's song about colors. The video is inspired by Guitar Hero and the directors claim it took over 1000 AfterEffects FX to create. The whole combination is toe-tappingly hypnotic. |

Jason Forrest's video for "War Photographer" is great because a.) it matches the color-scheme of Queerty b.) it features both vikings and Voltron-esque samurai or c.) it's an excuse to also watch Forrest's video for his remix of Donna Summer's "What You Truly Need". Discuss. |

For about a dozen different reasons, I can't think of a better way to start off today than with the epic, old-school classic "Fight the Power". Among the reasons: Almost 20 years after being made, it's still one hell of a jam. |

Franco-American singer Madeleine Peyroux once sang a cover of Joni Mitchell's "River" with k.d. lang which is pretty awesome, but this is not it. Instead, she covers the late, much-lamented Elliott Smith's "Between the Bars." Which is also pretty awesome. |

Your new editor has some experience with music videos, so the Morning Aural thing is something he's been looking forward to. Also, talking in 3rd person. I'm kicking it off with a tribute to Los Angeles, the town I hang my hat in. Munk is from Germany, Shazam is from Australia, I'm from New York, but we're all 'Down in L.A.' |

If you're lucky enough to have someone you love, we suggest you play them Simple Minds' "Don't You (Forget About Me)." As for us, we dedicate this to you. |

McFadden and Whitehead's disco hit "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" goes out to all of you fighting the good fight for gay rights. Go on with your bad selves! |
|
Here's a tip to winning our aural affection: make a reference to Sisyphus in your song's first line, as Filthy Dukes did in this track, "Tupac Robot Club Rock." |

This track, "Dita Dimoné," comes from British popster Pop Levi's second album, Never Never Love. |

Yeah, yeah, most of us know this song by heart - you know who you are - but we can't resist sending President-elect Obama some Kylie love. He's up in our head - and we like it. |

Barack Obama's certainly not "ramblin'," but he's definitely bringing joy this fine Wednesday. Here's Tom Saxton and Pete Seeger singing Saxton's track, "Ramblin' Boy." |

We're "Living In America" and wondering how the late James Brown would vote in this election - Alan Keyes? |
