When song dedications go horribly wrong

I remember when dedicating a song on the radio used to mean something to me. Doing your best to call into your local radio station, picking a song you wanted that special person in your life to hear, and then hoping the DJ would eventually play it at some point during the night. In fact I remember the first time I actually did this, and it was for a girl I liked in the sixth grade. I made the call and waited for hours hoping my song would come on; alas it never made the air waves that day.
Once I got to college requesting music on the radio took a back seat to actually making mix tapes for people. Ah yes, the lost art of the mix tape and even today this has been replaced by the mix cd. In college however is when you had songs that became the song that reminded you of that special person in your life. Maybe it was a shared concert, or music played while on a date, either way songs became part of what ever relationship you happened to be in. I can go through my shelves of cd's and certain albums bring back so many memories it is sometimes hard not to just sit back and reminisce.
Then there is the music that you thought you loved because you thought you loved the person you were with. You might even still have that cd in your collection, but more times than not you hear the song at some random moment in the day. The second you hear the music you remember all the bad things about the relationship you used to be in, and even though you want to turn off the music you sit and listen to the song in its entirety.
Last night as I was finishing up my school work a friend sent me a link and I sat for about 5 minutes in awe. I am not one to cut someone down for anything, but this video I watched was wrong on so many levels. and I would have to say it might even be cause for a restraining order. I think it is around 2:50 when the music dedication gets thrown into the mix and I can only feel sorry for the girl who was at the receiving end of this video.

and that's all i'm gonna say about that...
That was too amazing to be for real.
Uh, why the fuck did you make me watch that vid? I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I agree, there are lot o' songs(even movies) that remind me of certain relationships, friendships & even family too. Seems like every so often someone posts about this phenomenon about memories & music here on mog. In fact I posted about xmas family memories w/that Wayne Newton album that I mogged about right here: http://mog.com/Augusts1/blog/252180
Ya know, I've been feeling like a bit of a loser lately. Then I watched this video. Thanks for the huge boost to my self-esteem. Must go disinfect my eyeballs now.
HEY! This got cut off at the best part!
TEASER!
;)
this... has... to... be... a... joke....
right?
GOD, it feels real and it feels like a joke all at the same time.
I wanna dedicate this post to...Ah, never mind.
hollee crap. I can't watch it. I have this weird thing about obnoxiously awkward videos. It makes me want to hide in a hole until it's over. I made some requests to sweet someones in 5-7th grade. It was all the rage. The thing though is that they couldn't see you do it. I hope for this guy that the girl he made the video for is exactly like him so it went off smoothly.
BAHAHAHAAHAHAA. this cant be real!
I'm guessing the fact that it ended up online is probably an indication that it did not, in fact, go off so smoothly.
Kevin, I hate you now. Whatever grudge you have against me from your untimely death in MOGwars is now officially done, as you have just killed me a thousand times over.
