Roughly 90 percent of music videos on TV suck — and that’s a generous estimate. Yet, inexplicably, I find myself sinking into my couch for a couple hours every few weeks, paralyzed by the quick-moving images and mind-numbing muzak emanating from my television screen. So last week I tried to find that one video that was more fun to watch than make fun of.

Settling into my trance-like state, Mandy Moore’s “Have A Little Faith in Me” clip revs up — and quickly stalls. The piano ballad definitively shows the world that Moore is not the next Britney or Christina. She’s actually much worse. The multi-non-talented singer/actress half-smiles in front of cringe-worthy green-screen backdrops as the song’s Teflon chorus never even comes close to being memorable.

Sheryl Crow’s “new” hit “The First Cut Is the Deepest” appears next. You may recognize the Cat Stevens-penned song because it was already a huge hit for Rod Stewart in 1976. Crow tried this same unoriginal industry trick when she covered Guns ‘N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child ‘O Mine” a couple years back and — guess what — it’s still a remarkably lame move. The video breaks new ground in the realm of blandness and confirms the unfortunate fall of the one-time gritty singer/songwriter.

With my eyes tiring and my patience running out after back-to-back clips of trucker-hat impresario Jason Mraz’ nonsensical clowning, I was just about spent. But then The Darkness arrives with their cheese-rock anthem “I Believe in A Thing Called Love.” The song, a screeching, guitar-wanking ode to Queen, complements the absurdly ridiculous video in the best way possible. Tongue-in-cheek rock-star poses, silly costumes and hand-clap breakdowns make the viewing experience a joy from start to finish and give me another reason to watch what will surely be another slew of jaw-droppingly terrible videos in a few weeks.
