Any Logic to Big Brother's Suggestions on GOOTUBE?

A very good question has been posed.

WHY do certain SUGGESTIONS pop up on GOOTUBE? What's the ALGORHYTHM?? Or to quote the line from the stranger who punched newsman Dan Rather and was never caught: "What's the FREQUENCY?"

If you type in MAISONETTES after typing in Elton John a few times, does that equal GEORGE MICHAEL?

The experiment here, is that typing in MAISONETTES got all manner of weird shit. This included an invitation to watch moments of WWE wrestling "that kids should never watch," and even some kind of come-on identifying rare pennies worth A FORTUNE.

How many of this dubious choices for what to watch next, were based on my previous views, or more insidiously, on previous Google searches? NONE that I can determine. I have never searched WWE phony wrestling shit, or rare American coins. Or any of the other crap that came up.

Do some of these assholes PAY to be pushed high on a search? What good does it do? How many MAISONETTES fans care about some black Pastor's blabber over racial issues? How many MAISONETTES fans ARE THERE? And will we ever know if Lol was getting a LOL over calling his group MAISONETTES rather than MASONETTES?

How come GOOTUBE didn't point me toward other items with MAISONETTES in the title? Why not let me try and find another actual VIDEO?

Another thing that PISSES ME OFF about GOOTUBE videos of songs, is that you can't tell if you're going to get a piece of jukebox shit (the song with a generic photo that never moves) or an actual VIDEO of a live performance.

HOW ABOUT THIS ASSHOLE, who decided to use Lol's song as the background for his SHITTY party snapshots of himself and his retarded drunken friends?

Just why there's a somewhat identical video version, I have no idea. Was this the "official video" they tried to get played on MTV?

Lol almost does the same stares into the camera, and the two pointy-tits tarts are around, once again unable to move their feet.

For a song about heartache, why does the lead singer have TWO bitches alongside him? He doesn't look too lonely does he! Unless they're going steady and he's the lookout.

PS, we still don't see any wires coming off the guitars, and in fact this time, we hardly see a long shot of the band. We do get an asshole drummer doing the drumstick spin, which was corny even in 1982. It doesn't help when you mug for the camera when you do it. Gilson Lavis at least didn't show off directly into the camera on any Squeeze videos.

As to the song itself, yes, it still holds up as a nice mid-tempo pop tune, not nearly as frantic or as campy as what Lol was doing with City Boy. The video? Well, who doesn't like C-cup cuties mincing back and forth? All they have to do is show their profiles and the fact that those ARE tits. They don't even have to dance. You want more movement, go dial up Squeeze and the two bitches on "Cool for Cats." (I know, TWO Squeeze references to one Maisonettes song is a bad ratio)

I do remember this guy rather fondly; one of those friendly but somewhat arm's length types. He had a certain cool, detached sense of misanthropy, which you could glean from listening to his often arch and desultory between-song comments during the City Boy years. Even if he lost a bit more weight he would've been an odd choice for a romantic lead singer in that particular era of the early 80's. He also wasn't about to trim the beard down to just stubble!

Who knows where this guy is today? He'd be able to collect social security if he was in the USA. His former City Boy partner likewise keeps a low profile. Steve was interviewed for having co-written a song with some popular bitch (maybe Lady Gaga, I forget) and when the subject came to his long career in the music biz, he didn't even mention the group he was in! He just said something like, "Well, yes, I had a Top 10 with the group I was in, and then moved behind the scenes..."

As to Lol's partner in the Maisonettes, he's on Farcebook but who knows what he actually does for a living. I hardly noticed him in the video, except that, as usual with staged items like this, there was NO attempt made to pretend he was really playing his guitar. It's the old, "stand around strumming an electric guitar that isn't plugged in" thing.

Where are the two pointy-titted girls? That video was 35 years ago! They are menopausal matrons by now and probably as fat as Adele. Anyone looking them up hoping they still resemble how they looked in the video, will careen down...Heartache Avenue. Oh, excuse me...HEARTAKE AVENUE...
