SFist Has a Cure For Your Bad Case of the Mondays


Yeah, we know. It's a Monday. And not just any Monday, but the five-year anniversary of That Day with all the attendant beating over the head that comes with it. So to cheer you up, dear readers, SFist presents to you, the Holy Grail of awesome music videos-- Journey's "Separate Ways."

Why is this video so awesome? Let us count the ways: the air guitar. The air keyboard. The playing to the cameras. The girl in the bad 80's hair who appears to be doing nothing but walking up and down an SF waterfront. Steve Perry out-emoting Bono. The porn stache. The mother f------ keyboard hanging on the wall! The clenched fist hitting the side of the warehouse!! So much to choose from. And like all things Journey, that weird, off-putting sensation of simultaneously being appalled and rocked out all at the same time. How awesome is this video? What other videos have been critiqued and analyzed by such intellectual heavyweights as Beavis & Butthead, Hal Sparks, and Charles Krauthammer.

Oh, and if that's not enough sparkly fun, check out this video of some choir doing the song along with choreographed dance moves. It's either the cheesiest thing ever or the most brilliant piece of ironic art ever. We're just not sure which.
