Techno Tuesday: Jack, Jr.
February 24th, 2009 | By Greg Gangelhoff in Techno Tuesday | No Comments »You may remember Junior Jack from Jess’ Hump Day Music post on crazy house music videos, but the man deserves more than an honorable mention within a larger column. He deserves his own damn week of music, and that’s what he’s going to get. Mr. Jack, otherwise known as Vito Lucente, is an Italian who has produced music under many different pseudonyms, including Room 5 and Don Vito. His music videos have come from the Junior Jack and Room 5 sides of his personality, so let’s take a closer look at this baron of bootyshakers.
Oh, and this first video is NSFW, so don’t show your boss, unless they’re into that sort of thing.
That was ‘See You Dancin’,’ Junior’s most recent new single and his most recent video. The bouncy, uplifting melody and vocals are typical of his oeuvre, although that Corvette/horse chase is just plain silly. Also, the protagonist of the video is Mr. Jack himself.
Next up is ‘Music and You,’ a 2003 collaboration between Room 5 and Oliver Cheatham, he of the silky voice. This video manages to turn you on and showcase the importance of a dirty rat to the proceedings. I feel like some very weird mental associations are being formed here (this one is really NSFW, though nudity is strangely absent):
Hit the jump for 5 (that’s right, five-oh) more videos from JJ.
