Music video set in (Burnout) Paradise
« on: Tuesday, March 25, 2008, 05:51:02 PM »
Wyclef Jean's "Fast Car"

Never heard of him, not surprisingly, given that he's into rap/hip-hop.  This tune actually is music, though.  It's all set inside Burnout Paradise.  They use footage from the game and put people in it.  Pretty cool.

Sony commercial, or music video?  Maybe I should have made this a poll.

You never heard of Wyclef Jean?  I'd say he's pretty famous.

Anyway, I don't have any other comment other than he holds a guitar weird.

He is pretty famous even out of the "rap" circle.

The acoustic guitar is courtesy of Paul Simon, too.  You'll see random pictures of his face in the video and he sings a few parts in the song, too.
Hot damn, I love Paul Simon.

Sounds neat even though I hate the guy, but it won't show me the video.  Which is just as well... I should have been asleep hours ago.  Damn OWmeet people making me stay up to play Smash Bros.

THE Paul Simon?  Bridge Over Troubled Water to Graceland Paul Simon?  Yeah, man.  That is a musical legacy.  I thought he had dropped out of the scene.  I haven't seen or heard him in years.  I need to get a better copy of this video, or at least figure out how to zoom it out.  I didn't see Paul.

I just checked, and it still works.  Don't know why you couldn't see it, Que.

Edit:  Oh, yeah.  I must have been too busy looking at the technical aspects of the video.  There's Paul Simon, plain as day.  He sings and plays guitar for a bit too.  Damn it.  I really wasn't paying attention.
