Kill The Video Star - Steve Miller Band's Abracadabra

If you want your MTV - you’re out of luck. That place is essentially dead. That’s why we’re cracking the Necronomicon to resurrect the most horrific music videos we then think of on our latest iteration of Kill The Rock Star!! This week, we explore the mind-numbing horrors of middling-level magic performers as we make The Steve Miller Band’s 1982 hit ABRACADABA reappear before your very ears!! Along the way, we delve into our ambivalence toward Steve Miller and our seething hatred of The Eagles, Miller’s criminally lazy rhyming schemes, ponder the panty styles of angels, and question reports that this video and the main model/actress featured in it are “iconic” in any way. All this, plus bad magic acts, laconic tangos, and the only rat-chicken-baby transition ever filmed!! We’re trying to pull a funny episode out of the hat this week on Kill By Kill!!
