Funny video featuring MMM, Preston, Herb, Doug, and myself 5 years ago

It's been five years since Elastic No-No Band put out "My 3 Addictions." I was going through my old video tapes, and I found an odd tape of the band posing for this album cover.
I didn't have a digital camera handy to send to the artist to sketch the band, so I just shot some video.
It's pretty cute. I cut some of it together, set to the song "My 3 Addictions."
"My 3 Addictions" 5th anniversary video
The posing footage is bookended by an aborted run-through of what I thought the beginning and end of the (never-shot) music video for "My 3 Addictions" would look like, featuring Major Matt at Olive Juice.

Thanks
Thanks, Steve.
I never understood why the artist didn't incorporate her into the final art, but I think the final image works pretty well nonetheless.
And yes, the inventiveness of Elastic No-No Band in their posing (such as Herb with the pizza) was quite a rediscovery for me when I played the tape after all this time.

I didn't really like that she was not included in the end thing.
She was the only human in the whole thing that didn't get an end part.

Agreed
I very much agree. I argued with the artist that I wanted to keep her in there -- otherwise I wouldn't have had her pose -- but he went another way.

Steve - I can certainly see
Steve - I can certainly see how the sight of me simultaneously sticking both blueberry pie and pizza in my mouth would make most mortal men weak in the knees. For you or anyone else, private performances can be arranged. In any event, thanks for noticing!

I'm slightly underwhelmed by
I'm slightly underwhelmed by my performance in this video. I think I over did it a tad. My history on the stage. Another world in IMHO.
Nice song! Cute vid! Probably predictable of me, but I've got an instant crush on the "girl-who-won't-date-me" girl.
Less predictably, Herb eating pizza is swoonworthy.
