This week’s video for Music Video Friday is Moby’s In This World.
Is it cool to like Moby? Was it ever cool to like Moby? I don’t know (or care). He has a lot of fantastic songs. I especially love Porcelain & South Side with Gwen Stefani and, of course, the absolutely brilliant God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters from the end of the movie Heat (I can’t imagine any movie blogger not loving that).
In This World is from Moby’s 2002 album 18. It’s a great song but even greater video. This video couldn’t be more “me”. I must have had the biggest smile on my face the first time I saw these adorable little aliens just trying to be noticed on this crazy planet called Earth. I wanted to shout “Hi!” and give them all a big hug.
I suppose this video has a great message about how our lives are so hectic that we so easily miss all the special, little things in life (wasn’t that also the message in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?!). Well, message or not, I just love these little alien dudes. If I ever get around to doing a list of My Top Ten Music Videos, I can’t imagine this not being in the list. 🙂

I really like his music, Porcelain is a particular favourite.
Me too! That’s a fantastic song. : )
It is so relaxing to listen to.
Moby has always had cool videos but his music is a bit too chilled out for me.
Ha! Well… He can be pretty chilled, yes. : ) How about Bodyrock??
I don’t know that one. Time for Spotify methinks!
Yeah! Check it out if you can. : )
I love Moby. I like him chilled.
Me too! : ) I do like my noisy rock & metal but I like to chill out sometimes too… Lol 😉
I think it’s still cool to like Moby but you have to be aware that the man himself isn’t cool. Does that make any sense?
AH! So… Kind of like you??? 😀 😉
Why do you say that he isn’t cool? I think he is, he’s a vegan and animal rights activist. I’m worried you’re going to put me off him!
Exactly, he’s a vegan! That’s never cool. The animal rights part is cool though. And his music kicks ass. I don’t want to put you off!
Why is being a vegan not cool?
I just can’t respect someone who doesn’t eat cheese. Cheese is the greatest food on earth.
I’m a vegan. 🙂
Ha-ha I actually started thinking that as soon as I pressed send! Oops! I don’t really think vegans are uncool, you seem very cool 🙂
Haha! 😀 I really missed cheese to start off with, and milk chocolate, but the cravings have mostly gone now. 🙂
You should be proud of yourself, I have literally no willpower, I can’t say no to anything!
I don’t feel proud nor do I berate those who don’t follow this particular path. There are many ways to make the world a better place and veganism is just one of them. 🙂
Nice to meet you. 🙂
You too Ashley 🙂 your blog is really weird, I love it!
Ha! You really made me laugh! 😀
I try, but Mutant will tell you how unfunny my blog is as soon as she see that we’ve been idly chatting on her site!
🙂
Mike’s blog is easily one of my 500 favorites on WordPress. : )
Mike is hilarious! And a total idiot. But a loveable idiot so we all humor him! ; ) lol
😀
HA! Mike… Dear, sweet, idiot Mike. Always sticking his foot in his mouth! 😜 Bwahaha! ; )
Oh MAN… No cheese or chocolate?! That would be tough. ; )
It’s not anymore. It was at the beginning. 🙂
That really is a great video. I’ve always liked Moby, never bought his stuff but whenever I hear his songs I like them. I remember this song but I hadn’t seen the video. You’re right, I think the video is some sort of message. Either way, its a moving video I reckon. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
You’re welcome! I love sharing videos that some people may have never seen before. And I love this one! : )
Now I want to listen to more, I used to listen to moby allll the time back in the day
Now I do too! Lol. I haven’t in aggggggeeeeees. : )
great choice mutant!
Thanks! Love this video. : )
I wanna say I love it, but it’s so sad as well 😦 I love hearing your recommendations because it’s always some music/group I’ve never heard before. Aww man, I feel for the little guys. But great music video as always, you got me hooked on vids like this and the blur video. Have a great week :))
Yay! Glad I’ve introduced you to this. I love his music but this video is especially adorable. Just like the Blur one. You have a great week too!! 😀 : )
Hi, I’m writing about every song that ever became a #1 hit, backwards chronologically, in the journey that is the Every Number One blog. I would really appreciate if you took a look around.
Sounds interesting! : )
Hey, I actually remember this video! 🙂
Yay!!! : ) I’m going to do more 80s ones soon, though, so you won’t remember those…. 😉 lol
Moby rules. This tune is a fave of mine. Dig Porcelain too. Great pick!
Thanks! Wow – there seem to be a lot of Moby fans. I hadn’t listened to him in a while but listened to a bunch again when I posted this video. He has so many good songs. : )
