New York-based indie band the XYZ Affair released their music video for the song "All My Friends" on July 9. The video already has more than 16,000 hits on YouTube and the number is growing. The video features four early-90s Nickelodeon stars that might have been long forgotten by many but are remembered fondly by a few: Marc Summers, host of "Double Dare" and "What Would You Do?"; Ferguson from "Clarissa Explains It All;" Pete the elder from "Pete and Pete;" and Budnick from "Salute Your Shorts." The video brings back many nostalgic memories for me personally since I am sure I saw every episode of these shows multiple times during my youth. The song itself makes me think back to high school to Motion City Soundtrack's glory days. And this has to be the coolest cameo vid I’ve seen since Henry Winkler’s appearance in Say Anything’s "Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too."
"We find ourselves flabbergasted by some of the places this video has turned up, as well as what everyone has had to say about it," the XYZ Affair said in a statement on their Web site. "God bless YouTube. God bless you. God bless America. But most importantly...God bless Marc Summers."
