Hi all,

 

Matt's post over in the Contemporary Forum got me thinking about vacuums in music videos. I used to be glued to the music channels when I was younger and always got excited spotting vacuums. Here are some I remember well.

Bjork - Army of Me - Vax 2100




/>

The Beautiful South - Don't Marry Her - Hoover Senior Ranger




/>
Bryan Adams & Mel C - When You're Gone - Dirt Devil upright




/>
Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over - Electrolux cylinder and a Hoover Floorpolisher




/>
And of course, this thread would not be complete without Freddie and his 119.




/>
Anybody got any others?

I can remember in the Prince music video for the song "musicology" from about 2003 there was a kid dancing around with a Hoover convertible model U4101.

I don't think that's a Kirby in the Sneaker Pimps video.  The bag on the vintage Kirbys are on the right side (when driving the unit), not on the left as this vacuum shows.   I also don't see an Emptor, just a collar attaching the bag to the exhaust.  It looks like a Royal perhaps?

 

Anyone laughing that she's vacuuming with the vacuum powered off???

I must say that the Vax is a model 4000 judging by the hose and the colour of it. The Vax 2100 was turquoise. Here is my contribution:

Also the Hoover Ranger again, although this time it would be in keeping with the year of the song:

Vac.... in a video. I know it's not a music, but it's still cool... Margaret Cho's mother using an Electrolux.

7:28 Is it an Electrolux Diamond Jubilee or a Marquee?
