WATCH IT: Butch Walker "Summer Of 89" (Shane Valdes, dir.)

While this video doesn't really answer the question of whether actor Seymour Cassel would be a great director — he does seem drunk and pushy enough to handle the job quite fine — "Summer Of '89" does prove that actual director Shane Valdes probably still has nightmares about the "golden" age of music videos. Much like the song gives a nod to "Summer Of 69," the video pokes fun at the questionable stylings and creative decisions that helped make many videos so timelessly dated. Luckily, Butch Walker and The Black Widows look good and sound good enought to overcome all the surrounding crap. --> watch "Summer Of 89"
