"Greetings my friendsGreeGreetings my friend. We are all interested in the future for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you, in the future.
"My friend, can your heart stand the shocking facts... about... grave robbers from outer space? *gunshot*"

"What do you think will be the next obstacle the earth people will put in our way?"
"Well, as long as they can think, we'll have our problems. But those whom we're using cannot think. They are the dead, brought to a simulated life by our electrode guns."

"You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!"

"It's because of men like you that all must be destroyed--"
"We haven't seen the last of those weirdies, we haven't seen the last of those weirdies"
"Headstrong! Violent! No use of the mind God gave you!"

-----Video Night by Broken Class-----

On the downtown streets of London
a battle's taking place
a battle of technology
and privicy of face

the government is watching you
they see your every move
with a mesh of video cameras
when or where you can not choose

they claim that it cuts down
on the problem of urban crime
they capture every face
every moment caught in time

[bridge]
you unknowingly pass them by
as they secretly catch your eye
all of london's in a craze
video nights make…
video daze

[chorus]
video night
video night...
everywhere you turn they're watching
video night...
everywhere you go they're recording
video night...
in the shadows and the lights
video night....
Give up your rights
[end chorus]

in a secret room in downtown
there's a super computer spy
it scans all the faces
of the people walking by

they're searching for the criminals
they are watching for the crime
but what they have a problem with
is they're watching all the time

As the camera catches the face
of everybody walking by
it compares it to the database
of all the criminals they can't find

they say that crime is down
it's become a safer town
people say it's piracy
an invasion of their privacy

[bridge]
[chorus]

IT'S XENON LIGHT! WITH VIDEO NIGHT!
VIDEO NIGHT! WITH XENON LIGHT!
ON SONGFIGHT!

====================================

CHORUS:
I waited all night, I waited all night for you
Been stuck here watching video tapes trying to forget mistakes we've made.
Tomorrow you leave for a thousand miles away--can't follow through on what you say you'll do?
Just a lonely night at home, a lonely night at home again.

Here I sit in front of my TV
Trying not to think about you leaving
me and my heart in pieces
and all the things you said you'd do
they never were completed
and you never made the effort
to finish what you started
to bring closure to this heartache.

now i lie here devestated waiting for a phone that'll never ring.

CHORUS

here i sit in front of my TV
watching "Dark City" once again
i never got to see the ending
i was waiting here for you
but i never made an effort
you said i'd never feel the loss
you never knew how much i loved you
you say I thought i was above this.

how can you say i thought i was above you?

CHORUS

maybe one day i'll wake up
and know this was my fault
too scared to take a risk
and open up my heart to you
the more distance that i have
the more pain i will feel
i have to sever and hate
it's time to peel away this blistered skin

CHORUS

Video Night by Milwaukee Youth Center Choir

Video night, it's video night, it's video night
all night, all night

Went to the store for a video
my membership card in my hand
maybe something with Margot Kidder though
I haven't seen her too much since Superman
how about that one Brando flick I missed
the one with Matthew Broderick in it too
I remember someone mentioning it sucked
wonder if they've got Hot Shots Part Deux


this summer...
in a world torn apart by forces they couldn't understand
one man faced a love that knew no bounds:
there's a new partner on the force, and he's got four legs!

Harry Dean Stanton
Julia Sweeny
and Micha Baldwin, Jr.

from the director of Snore Wagon and Terminal Dearth
comes a story about a little boy and the magic hat that made him special.
this summer, only on video

Video Night by THE GOLDEN PLATES

Steve McQueen
Errol Flynn
Charlie Sheen
Who needs friends?

On my own
All alone
No one home
Looks like a video night

All alone
On my own
No one home
Looks like a video night

Well, just 'cause I'm not cool
That doesn't make me mad
I'll just watch all of Labyrinth
Because Bowie's rad
Next up it's Chasing Amy, after that it's Jaws
Please, until the credits end, withhold your applause.

and, end song.

Video Night by Gunn and Fames

Welcome to the video section
of your seven-eleven store.
Other places have new releases,
But we've got something more-
Movies from the good times
When rock 'n roll was king.
Makes you get up dancing,
Makes you want to sing.

If you want a time that's out of sight
Have yourself an Elvis video night
For a video night- that's right.

It all looks so familiar,
Yeah from back when I was young.
You'll know each song as it comes along,
And how it should be sung.
The acting's pretty wooden
And the plots are pretty thin.
But if you watch the first five minutes
You know I'll get you in.

If you want a time that's out of sight
Have yourself an Elvis video night
For a video night- that's right.

Well if your baby leaves you
And you feel like it's a crime
Rent me out on weekly hire
We'll have a real good time.
You know I'll make you happy
Even if it's just one day
Cos you can bet when you take me out that
I'll chase those blues away.

If you want a time that's out of sight
Have yourself an Elvis video night
For a video night- that's right.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Elvis has left the seven-eleven.
