I'm sure there's a music video somewhere out there with this really grate song. And like a cheerleading competition in, it. And this one bit where the guy doing the song like cartwheels or summer salts over the roof tops of a long line of buses. I thought it was sisco or something, only I can't seem to find it. I know it's from a good few years ago but does anyone out there know remember or have any idea which song or video I'm on about please? Bare in mind I could & most likely am completely wrong about who's song it is

Ash has the best song, but the best video is Nada Surf. (As Mr. Mesker searches for another baby victim).

I have a late addition to this cheerfest, courtesy of the new show "Glee" (whose return I await eagerly): http://www.hulu.com/watch/8...

I wouldn't necessarily rate it over Nada or Robbie, but it's worth a brief ogle if nothing else...

Careful what you say. Now Nada Surf is in the lead. (*punches a baby*)

There is nothing unhealthy about thinking long and hard about cheerleaders, particularly the ones featured in Robbie Williams' video. I applaud your vote.

Wow, tough call.

Every time I see the Toni Basil clip I get creeped out. The cheerleader/dancers are iconic in a good way but Toni looks like an alter ego of Pennywise.

Ash has a great song but I'm not sure the point of having cheerleaders (or the basketball team) in the video. It doesn't fit the music or lyrics.

The bored slut cheerleaders in Popular are every jock's dream/nightmare as well as just exactly what we dorks thought they were. More importantly to me the song and lyrics fits the video's use of cheerleaders.

Nirvana has an all time classic song and video. The cheerleaders fit the "pep rally gone awry" theme but are not featured enough to match the other songs.

In the end I'm voting for Robbie Williams. His cheerleaders do amazing leaps that the slow motion enhances. They fit the video's theme, if not the song's, of Satan's Cheerleaders. The, er, snake tail that comes out of this, uh... yeah, and molests the girls just freaked the heck out of me. Visually it's the best of them all.

I've obviously thought way more than is healthy about this.

Oh, and the Bad Luck songs must make a place for Warren Zevon. I'd nominate Lawyers Guns and Money.

If you'd Toni's nonsensical ramblings on SYTYCD, you'd know that yes, it is very much possible for concepts to be totally lost on poor addled Toni. Her command of her vocabulary is about as reliable as Lucille Austero's command of her sense of balance.

Uh-huh. And are you telling me that the implications of "Come on and give it to me any way you can / Any way you wanna do it, I'll take it like a man" were totally lost on our sweet innocent li'l Toni?

The original song was actually written as "Kitty" and the only thing Basil changed was the one word - because apparently she had a big crush on Micky Dolenz.

I can't BELIEVE that Toni Basil is winning this thing over Ash and Robbie Williams.

Damn, tough choice this week, but I gotta go with the devil girls.

The "essential innocence" of "Mickey"? Dude, have you listened to those lyrics? It's the same twisted scenario as Josie Cotton's "Johnny, Are You Queer?", only much, much dirtier.
