VH1's Most Cheesetastic Video Tricks Revealed

VH1 goes to the film library to make yet another List Show. Just when I think they've done it all, they pull out a Heavy Metal List Show (Metal on VH1? Why?), or their 80s Retrosexual List Show. If your too young to reminise about Tom Selleck, then you've always got Best Week Ever (Hey remember how popular that movie was... last weekend?!).

Here is a breakdown of the first three hours of Cheesetastic programming, which starts tonight, Saturday 10/9c.



Hip Hop Rules (Hour 1)



52 Hundred Pick Up

Artists throw their money in the air like they just don't care.

LL Cool J "Head Sprung"

Lloyd Banks "I'm So Fly"

Missy Elliot "Work It"

Mase "Feels So Good"

Jermaine Dupri "Money Ain't A Thing"




Angry Face

Rappers put on an "angry face" ... to show how tough they are!

Ice Cube "Natural Born Killers"

Snoop Dog "Lay Low"

Xzibit "X"

DMX "What's My Name"




Scarface

Artists pay homage to their favorite Al Pacino flick.

Big Pun "I'm Not A Player"

Fat Joe "Don Cartegena"

Nas "The World Is Yours"

Mobb Deep "It's Mine"




Video Vixen Rules (Hour 2)



Slo-Mo Hair

Girls flip their locks in that oh-so-sexy manner.

White Stripes "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself"

No Doubt "Underneath It All"

Jermain Dupri "Money Ain't A Thing"




Hot Girls On Cars

What's hotter than a video vixen? A video vixen writhing on top of an expensive car!

Warrant "Cherry Pie"

White Snake "Here I Go Again"

Bowling Soup "1985"




The Pole Dance

The classic stripper dance always adds a dash of sexiness.

Dr. Dre "The Next Episode"

Fountains of Wayne "Stacy's Mom"

White Stripes "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself"

Mötley Crüe "Girls, Girls, Girls"




Drummer Rules (Hour 3)



The Mug

Drummers make their funniest faces once they get their close up.

Def Leppard "Pour Some Sugar On Me"

Aerosmith "Dude Looks Like A Lady"




Stick Twirl

Take advantage of your camera time and twirl those sticks!

Mötley Crüe "Home Sweet Home"

Tom Petty "Into the Great Wide Open"

Bon Jovi "Livin' on A Prayer"




Drum Fillings

Drums look so boring on TV, so fill 'em with liquid, powder, or whatever you got!

J. Geils Band "Angel In A Centerfold"

Poison "I Want Action"

Samantha Fox "Touch Me"

Warrant "Cherry Pie




Personally, I think VH1 is really reaching here to fill airtime. I mean, come on, drum filling?! Who the hell has done that since the death of Hair Metal?! Actually, they always exaggerate on their List Shows, like calling hugely popular songs "awesomely bad" simply because it's become dated ( FYI: that's gonna happen when a pop song hits a decade). How sad and snobbish, in my opinion... of course, I'll watch this list anyway (I'm a sellout).
