30 Rock Music: A Tribute

Dear readers, I like to think of these slow news days as our special times together. It’s in these quiet moments that we can share our most profound pop culture hopes and dreams.  Recently, my dreams have involved an awkward little lady named Liz Lemon. All those Sarah Palin impressions were spot-on, but they only served to whet my appetite for Tina Fey’s best, most original portrayal.
That’s right. If you’re at all like me, you’ve been waiting an entire summer for the return of 30 Rock, and now, only a few hours remain until TV’s funniest sitcom (sorry How I Met Your Mother, I love you, too) is back on the air. In anticipation, I’ve compiled the five best 30 Rock-related music related video clips I could find on YouTube. Enjoy, and feel free to suggest your own.



#5. "Touch My Body" - Mariah Carey - This contemporary R&B clip features Mrs. Nick Cannon crooning to 30 Rock's resident super-nerd Jack McBrayer ("Kenneth")

#4. "Alec Baldwin: The Music Video" - There's plenty of fan-created clips featuring the show's stars but this one, more an homage to Baldwin's career, beat them all.

#3. "Notorious" - Puff Daddy and Lil Kim - Stars 30 Rock loudmouth in a relatively restrained performance as a perturbed rent-a-cop.




#2. "Everyday" - The Dave Matthews Band - Before he was "the hat guy," 30 Rock's Judah Friedlander was briefly "the hug guy" thanks to this sappy clip.

#1. "Muffin Top" - The hilarious mock-pop video from 30 Rock's own queen of vanity, Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski)
