Something From Nothing: Public Transportation as Music Video Location

Sep 10, 2009 - By Adam Tod Brown

Life’s a bitch.  You can’t always get what you want.  (Insert third cliche that we can’t think of off the top of our head here.)  What we’re getting at is sometimes you just have to make due with what you have.  Take Paul Marz for example.  You know Paul Marz, right?  No?  Well you do now, because he’s the guy in the above video.

Paul Marz recorded a mediocre rap song and needed to make a video for it.  Did he rent a mansion and strap on a leopard print thong like MC Hammer?  Did he start a fire in an oil drum and ask a bunch of people to run around to make it look like the apocalypse like Jay-Z?  Did he smoke crack like Whitney Houston?  No, he didn’t do any of that.  Instead, he hopped on a presumably illegal one dollar van (that means some dude bought a van and drives people around for a dollar, try to keep up honky) with a video camera and got to fucking work.  And we commend him for that.

Did everyone on the van want to be featured in the video?  Of course not.  The woman with the kid on her lap looks like she will kill everyone on the van for nothing more than ten dollars and the promise of silence.  But on the other hand, Paul Marz is almost certainly going to bang the impromptu video ho in the back of the van.  We’re not sure what it is, but we’re certain there is a message somewhere here, kids.
