Matchbox 20 - Push

remember when rob thomas got fat...and they said it was "glandular?" and then a couple of years ago he claimed that the weight gain was a result of his cocaine addiction during that fat period? and remember how it seemed completely improbable that anyone in matchbox 20 could

A. become a cocaine addict and

B. then become FAT because of it?

you probably don't remember ANY of these things, but it really hurts me that i can remember details about the life and times of rob thomas so effortlessly. i didn't even have to look them up.

for me, he's a little like the electric fence in this video. i wanna leave it alone, but i keep coming back for more while my compatriots just stand there watching.

Music video

The video for "Push", directed by Nigel Dick, starts and ends with Rob Thomas playing with a puppet. Throughout the song, the band is seen playing in an alley. A couple of scenes feature Thomas chained to a wall. Another scene is of Thomas holding onto an electric wire fence while the band stands in the background. He gets zapped by the fence but keeps putting his hands back on it. Thomas is also seen in a room containing a clock and a bed, though no windows are shown.

EDIT 2/18/09 -- I changed the embedded "Push" video to a weblink because the player autostarted the music when wikimusicvideo loaded. Dearest readers, if there is one song on here that I REFUSE to subject you to hearing without making a conscious decision to listen, it is and will forever be Matchbox 20's "Push."
