Important Political Video: The Scorpions, "No One Like You"

There is a Scorpions song that should probably be posted today to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. It's called "Wind of Change." It's basically about the fall of the Berlin Wall. (The Scorpions are from Germany, you know.) The video has lots of news-style footage of very important geopolitical events of the era. Unfortunately, that song kind of sucks. So here's the video for "No One Like You," which takes place on Alcatraz, and has great white sharks and a mental patient with his head wrapped in bandages and forks stuck in his eyes and a sexy blonde in S&M gear throwing the switch to the electric chair and setting the whole place on fire. It might just be greatest video of all time. So watch that instead. But think about commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Good sir, I take issue with your characterization of "Wind of Change" as a song that "kind of sucks." As with most wind-related things, it actually blows.

That guitar smash sequence exhausted me.

I always get "No One Like You" confused with "Rock You Like a Hurricane." Possibly because at least for the first 40 seconds they are the same song.

Nonetheless this video is made of pure awesome, and makes me glad the Wall fell so the East Germans could see it too.

sorry your heinous

They both also prominently involve the band behind bars

It's nice too that they don't have to worry about that pesky Kommissar coming around anymore.

What about the midget prison guard?!?!? You forgot the midget prison guard. Think about it.
