Oran "Juice" Jones "The Rain"

This is a beauty. Classic 80s quality video. The acting is spot on. OJJ’s cigarette smoking is very believable. I love how he oversells the parentheses, “I saw you (AND HIM) walking in the rain.” And how about the background singers with choreography every bit as cheesy as their 80s prom cummerbunds?

But, really what makes this video great is that the monologue Jones gives at the end. It lasts two minutes, almost half the song. “I gave you things you couldn’t even pronounce.” The closing tirade kills. “Silly rabbit, Trix are made for kids”. What the hell does that even mean in the context of the song?

You dismissed…
