The second installment of this feature brings us to the Nu Shooz song, “I Can’t Wait.” At a time when bad hair metal ruled our life, this catchy little pop tune was a guilty pleasure. We will embed the video, but first we would like to supply an interpretive running diary:

Wrenches … banana. Hmmm.

Flapping garbage can, dog in sunglasses. Strange imagery and animation, allowing future generations to pinpoint “mid-80s” without even looking it up.

What’s in the vase? Oh, a small shark. Right.

(30-40 seconds of strange close-ups and pure nonsense)

(repeat, with different tools)

Guess what I’m thinking?

Close that box! Strange things!

And … cut!

Our best overall thematic/conceptual guess: Nu Shooz found a rummage sale one morning and shot a video that afternoon. Seriously, nothing happened. But go ahead and have a look for yourself. You can’t help but think the song is at least catchy.
