5 reasons vh1 should bring back pop-up video



pop-up video.  as you read those words you immediately sang that little ditty to yourself didn't you? (pop-pup video-o) yeah me too...
back in the 90s when MTV still stood for music television and VH1 had not yet been infiltrated by celebreality, pop-up video was a smash hit. A half hour show airing in segments of 5 music videos, a little bubble or "info nugget" would pop up to give us random tidbits about the video- from where rick astley shot his video for "never gonna give you up" (...never gonna let you dow-ow-own) to pointing out that mandy moore was only 14 when she drove that green vw bug in her video for "candy." (please see youtube and vh1.com for further reference.)
so, after 6 years of wonderful pop-up "info nuggets" the show was axed, eventually leading to the celebreality of surreal life, i love new york, tool academy, and many more i'm too ashamed to mention.  here are the reasons pop-up video should be brought back from the dead to rid us of any more celebrity fit club with k-fed and screech:


1. lady gaga.  any insight as to what the hell goes into the making of a lady gaga music video would be greatly appreciated by all. 
*it would also be awesome if a pop-up would reference who\what she was before the fame monster- click here


2. they could do a "break-up" special edition pop-up video with bands or couples that have broken up since the show went off the air and tell their break-up stories through pop-up nuggets. examples: jessica simpson and nick lachey, n*sync, j.lo and ben affleck.

3.  because nobody wants to watch tool academy15

4. so we can count how many times beyonce's booty shakes in "single ladies." she's gotta hold some sort of record for that.

5. so they can start doing pop-up episodes of their trashy reality tv shows that pop-up explanations as to why they thought any of them were a good idea.
