Fact: Pop-Up Video Pops Up Online

12/5/07, 6:47 pm EST

We were excited to discover today that one of our favorite shows of pre-Rock of Love-era VH1, Pop-Up Video, had resurfaced online, allowing us to watch the storied series while we’re at work. (Editor’s note: Well, we would never watch it at work, but other people might find it an enjoyable way to kill time.) Pop-Up Video bubbled with so much in-depth, unnecessary trivia, it made our Almost-Impossible Rock & Roll Quiz seem like a third-grade math test. Now, we can revisit all the stories behind a-ha’s “Take On Me” (the single only sold 300 copies when it was first released!) and Janet Jackson’s “Runaway” (she never traveled anywhere, it was all blue screen!) — and enjoy that satisfying pre-TiVo pop sound effect. While we were a little bummed by VH1’s failure to post any videos recorded after Bill Clinton was in the White House thus far (we did, however, enjoy the Billy Joel, Culture Club and Toni Braxton clips that are among the forty-seven currently available) and some slow buffering time, we’re happy to welcome Pop-Up Video back into our lives.

“Take On Me” was a great video. And I only saw it about a year ago! And all you old farts who feel so superior just because they’re older than me can bite me!!!

And I’ll betcha 1000 bucks that I remember it better than all you stuck up old freaks who saw it for the last time in 1984!

Friggin’ jerks!

Good post rocknlola. SP fans, no one is taking away from SP’s achievements and talents but you gotta admit he’s not singing anymore so we should give AP a chance and just enjoy his vocals too instead of venting out on him just because SP has left Journey. Not Arnel’s fault he’s gone you know.
