Best nerdy music videos!!
« on: April 20, 2020, 01:28:03 PM »
If you don't like Metal and Star Wars, just click away.

First, there is an awesome Swedish metal band called Sabaton that does all their music about wars and the military.  They do awesome stuff.

Some samples:
Bismark

Fields of Verdun

Night Witches (about the female Soviet pilots in WWII

Main channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Sabaton



Someone has taken sceenes from Star Wars: The Clone Wars (which is best Star Wars) and remixed Sabaton music videos to the footage.  It's freaking awesome:

Side note that some here may find interesting as well, Sabaton has a secondary channel called Sabaton History, where they explain the events behind each of their songs, what happened, and why they picked that event.  Some really interesting, little known martial history.

It absolutely fits, unless it's supposed to be a metal-only thread. In other, non-metal genres, the Decemberists have a nerdy name and some nerdy song topics. No idea what their videos are like.

Sabaton is one of my favorite bands presently,  great stuff.  Saw them last fall, excellent live.   If you like the Sabaton History channel,  Indy Niedel's Time Ghost is really good.



My favorite Sabaton songs:

To Hell and back,  about Audie Murphy, with a chorus based on his own poetry

https://youtu.be/hZNeastYxEc

Murphy's Poem:

No bullets fly, about the the Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler incident.

Anyone up for Pirate Metal?

Might be a bit of a theme here, but I enjoy Metal of most flavors.

Would the Dead Milkmen be more like nerds on drugs?

I don't know if I would consider the Violent Femmes to be nerdy.  Definitely outside the mainstream.  I have some old CD's I need to pull out. 

Gone Daddy Gone - Violent Femmes (1983)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekL7o8BQkZM
This is the only rock song I can think of that used a xylophone.  I am sure it isn't the only one. 

Machine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_cIoR1ZFOA
This one might be alternative to that asteroid thing.  I'm not sure about the learning French part. 

It's Gonna Rain - Violent Femmes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rUxiqQHKs0
They also had this one about Noah and the Great Flood which they took time to explain in concert.

I'd recommend many of the works of Jonathan Coulton, Blue Sunny Day is my favorite.

I'm also fond of some of the works of the Doubleclicks. Fav there is probably Lasers and Feelings
