Here’s an odd little morsel for you on my normal day off - an old Rock TV!

This is from 1999, way before my time in the ministry. I don’t have a lot to say about it, but I’d like to note a few things:

-What I find interesting about this video is its lack of outright jokes, and I mean that as a compliment. The whole thing is like a tone-gag, where they keep straight faced and buttoned-down about an idiotic song and terrible recording.

-The pre-production for this video involved Jeromy Darling (one of the founders of Rock TV) writing this boy band style song - “I Can See It In Your Eyes” - and recording it with the other guys. Kudos on the work - I think the song is great, and funny in a subtle way.

-Why is Leroy bald in this video? I have no idea, but God bless him anyway.

-Years later, Kevin Sawyer came across an a capella group online (don’t ask) that had covered the song and changed the lyrics without permission. Their changes altered the song’s content to PG-13 status, which I found puzzling, and apparently Jeromy wasn’t pleased with their unsolicited contribution.

-This Pop-Up version of the video was put together about a year after the original music video was completed and got a great reception at the Rock (it was literally received better than any Rock TV of the last 7 years). I believe it was done to allow Ryan Pickett and Todd Luker to passive-aggressively make fun of the actors in the ministry.

Enjoy!
