I lasted about 20 seconds into this one. To quote Billy Crystal "it's not fun, it's not funny..."

I was prepared to agree with Rob, but then I couldn't stop watching. It. Was. Awesome. Considering that Temple of Doom came out in 1984, I'm surprised there wasn't some kind of pop sensation song about it, like the Star Wars disco theme of the late 1970s -- I guess if it had been better-received, there would have been? The placement of the dancer and keyboardist on the other side of the rope bridge had me cracking up, and the song was actually pretty catchy.

That was possibly the gayiest, most horrible thing ever... but I couldn't stop watching. It was like Richard Simmons, Devo, and that one dude from N'sync got in a car wreck George Lucas during the 60's. Yet I gotta aggree, it's catchy. But thats probably just cause of the pot.

I only lasted until 1:37. Damn, that was shitty.

Ouch. That's actually worse than Aqua's Doctor Jones:

Now I need to rinse my brain out with carbolic soap. Twice.

Why?

I absolutely love how, other than the lyrics, this video had nothing to do with Indiana Jones at all. If someone watched this video without the sound on, they would have no idea what was going on. There is absoluely nothing about this video that says "Indiana Jones".

The only thing that could make that any worse would be to find out George Lucas wrote it.

I don't care what you all say, I thought that was great! Perfect '80's style cheese and hilarious. The backstory of this is here: http://station.newteevee.com/2008/08/27/lb-raynes-indiana-jones-ode/

A delicious “found artifact” from 1984, the myth of L.B. Rayne is as follows: “In the winter of 1984, Hal Lowenstein Productions produced a song and music video for rising star Laurence Butler Rayne. Familiar with an early draft of the screenplay for the second Indiana Jones film, Lowenstein and Rayne set out to create a hit theme song to be released with the upcoming summer movie. After it was finished, HLP pitched the music video and sent it off to Lucasfilms, just as Temple of Doom was wrapping principal photography. They never heard back.”

And yes, it's catchy, too. I think there's riffs from various other songs meshed in there.

It's like I've always said, LB Rayne is a highly polarizing superstar -- you either love him or you hate him. The man will not compromise.

...I'm watching it again.

I love it. Despite the fact that a bunch of hipsters got together and made yet another ironic parody (and are fans of Chromeo, apparently), this makes me almost miss a time when songs were written for a movie and ALL THE LYRICS ARE ABOUT THE MOVIE. Sure they were terrible, but kind of endearing. Remember "Turtle Power"? "The Power of Love"? Anything with "Power" in the title? "Ghostbusters," fer christ's sake? The Pineapple Express guys must remember this, because I'll be damned if they didn't get Huey Lewis to write an end credits song called Pineapple Express, and I'll be damned if all the lyrics aren't about the movie we just watched. Had Indiana Jones been made by John Carpenter and not Spielberg, this is EXACTLY the kind of video we would have seen. Love it.

Or, "The Power of One" by Donna Summers? Remember that? It was from the second Pokemon Movie. It was entirely about the movie.

The First Pokemon movie, however, had a terrible song called "Don't Say You Love Me" that had lyrics like:

Don't say you love me
You don't even know me
If you really want me
Then give me some time
Don't go there baby
Not before I'm ready
Don't say your heart's in a hurry
It's not like we're gonna get married
Give me, give me some time

Let me remind you that the movie had NO love interest, and was instead about a giant mutated cat trying to take over the world. It wasn't even sung by anyone famous. Why, then? Does anyone remember this?

Wow, I can't believe the original poster, and a few of commenters, don't "get it". Maybe they weren't alive during the 80s?

This video (and song) is both catchy and hilarious.
BTW, the song is available for download (legally). To lazy to find the link, google for it.

Don't you guys know theres something called "Kitsch Art" is considered an inferior, tasteless copy of an existing style and bad taste, some clasic exemples Evil Dead, Showgirls, Starship Troopers.

I Just can't belive you guys don't get it, this is so fuckin cool!

"Wow, I can't believe the original poster, and a few of commenters, don't "get it". Maybe they weren't alive during the 80s?"

I was alive, just a bit too young to keep up with pop culture.

I'm hoping the dude who posted this had his tongue planted firmly in his cheek..this is a brilliant video.

I think Roger Ebert is right, this truly is the dawning of the "Age of Credulity".
