Random Theme: Songs Named After Girls

Angie is the next name in Brian's list, and I fought with myself for a while on whether to post this one or not. I finally decided to do so, not because I like it, but because it just shows why I'm not a Stones fan. For one thing, the way that Jagger says "Angie" is ridiculous. For another thing, I've never seen one member of a band be so into a song and the rest of the band look like they're going to fall asleep! Charlie Watts looks like he's about to fall off the drum throne, seriously.
For those of you who don't know, the way most music videos are recorded isn't what you might think. For example, the video above is just the band miming out their parts while Jagger lip syncs. The studio recorded track is played for them to follow. Very few music videos are made at the same time the music you hear is recorded. Even with that in mind, though, they all look dead. If we factor in the drugs they're probably all taking, you might get to this level of mellow, but still. Well, they'd probably never make it on my list any other way, and they were a very influential band before they all died and were revived by secret celebrity medication and forced to continue touring as the undead. The song was also a #1 hit, so, I guess I'm in the minority here.
