Lets be serious, there really isn’t anything redeeming about Buck 22′s remix of “Achy Breaky.” From the Larry King cameo, to the models excruciatingly terrible twerking skills, and even the unfortunate scene that a poor young, confused black country boy had to witness, everything was terrible. The real travesty is that it exists on the internet, which means no matter how much we try to run away from it, act like it never happened, or wipe everyone’s memory, it still will be around. There is a scene in Clockwork Orange, where the brainwash the protagonist through intense video sessions that were filled with tor torturous images. Taking his spot in that chair is a better alternative than watching this Buck 22 and Billy Ray Cyrus sing “Achy Breaky” around a group of poorly trained strippers.
First off, why is Larry King in this video? How did they convince him to come out of whatever crypt he was in to read some stupid lines? It is so weird and out of place, but then again, nothing in this video makes sense together; so, technically it makes sense. After telling the world about an unidentified flying object descending upon Europe, the camera cuts to Billy Ray Cyrus and a small unidentified black kid walking in a field (what they were doing there in the first place will forever remain a mystery). Right at this moment, the Alien Spaceship comes down and beams them up.
If you haven’t heard, Aliens all over the solar system have gone through the same twerking transformation as Miley Cyrus, and they were just thrilled to show off their stuff to their goddess’ father (which would make Papa Cyrus like a Zeus type character). Unfortunately for them, Miley doesn’t exactly know how to twerk herself, so trying to learn from her put them behind. During their sorry assassination attempt on twerking, Buck 22 starts rapping, which is just the worst. The entire time you are wondering if he is being serious and are actually begging Billy Ray to pick up the microphone to belt out his classic. Nope, that only happens during the hook. You have to listen to this guy rap for what feels like an eternity.
Check out this video and learn what not to do with your life. This is just a sorry display of everything and it is going to haunt your dreams for the rest of your life. Good luck.
