If you don’t have the time, means or know-how to make your own amv, but have an idea for one and would like to share, here you go!
I’ll likely never again have the combination of time, motivation and dedication to see this to fruition, but a fun idea I’ve had for some time is an amv dedicated to Z, using The B-52’s song “Channel Z” from the album
It’s fairly nonsensical and has some very dated subject matter (yet much of it eerily is truer now than ever before) but something about the lyrics made me think “yeah, this could work” and a few would be just plain fun (example, approx. 2:45 “space junk, BONK!” I picture Z blowing up half the Earth in OVA3; a very dramatic moment rendered whimsical in an instant).

Lyrics copy/pasted
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static.
Static filling my attic from Channel Z
I don’t know—I feel like something’s happening
Something good is happening!
I feel love has got to come on, and I want it
Something big and lovely
I want the world to change for me! Gotta get away
Away from Z—Living on the edge of Z
Space junk—laser bombs—ozone holes
Better put up my umbrella!
Giant stacks blowin’ smoke
Politicrits pushin’ dope
All I know—we’ve got to change what’s happening
Something good could happen
I feel light has got to come through—and I need it
Something big and lovely
I want the world to change for me—gotta get away—away from Z
Living on the edge of Z
Waste dumps—toxic fog—irradiate—and keep it fresh forever
Good old boys—tellin’ lies
‘Bout time—I got wise
Getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Gotta tune in—pico waves. Gotta tune out—PCB’s
Gotta tune in—market crash. Gotta tune out—polar shift
Gotta tune in—narrow minds. Gotta tune out—space junk
Gotta tune in—bombs. Gotta turn out—atomic lasers falling from the sky
Where’s my umbrella?
Gonna shoot that static down the drain
Gonna put that static out of my brain
Gonna put up my antennae. FREE!
Hamburger ads!—Pop up in my head—
On the edge of Aquarius—I’m living on the edge
Secret wars!—Take my money away!
I know I feel a change is happening—Something good will happen
I feel love is coming on strong, and I want it
We can make it happen
I want the world to change for me—gotta get away—away from Z
Living on the edge of—ZZZZZZZZ
Channel Z’s all static all day forever—time to open your windows,
Let in better weather
As is part of the general purpose of this thread, if anyone reading this for some reason feels the urge of “wow, I must make this at once!” knock yourself out, I don’t claim dibs but maybe, maaaaybeeee someday I’ll at least attempt it.
