You're stroking my cortex and you know I'm insane

Five reasons why "Space Lord" by Monster Magnet is on my video list:

5. This was their biggest hit, pretty much because of the response to the video. A one-hit wonder that is a one-hit wonder because it makes fun of a one-hit wonder.

4. They are one of the first to make fun of hip-hop money-throwing, hoochie-filled, champagne-flowing, car-strolling videos. Was before the Offspring's "Pretty Fly for a White Guy."

3. Old man with "Mother" written on his chest.

2. They pretty much copy Mase's "Feels So Good" video step-by-step, using the same locations, sets and um...themes. Only when it's Monster Magnet-style...classic.

1. Lightbulb suit.
