It’s funny how the mind works sometimes. You think of one thing, and that reminds you of something else, and then that something reminds you of something else.

Today we’ll do things a little differently, or oddly, depending on your point of view. I’ll show you two videos, and see if you can guess the connection.

(To be fair, I will put the answer at the end of the message, but do your best to not skip ahead.)

Ready?

The first video is for Aerosmith’s 2001 hit “Jaded”.

Next is “Elvira” by The Oak Ridge Boys (#5 US, 1981).

Here’s a little hint: You have to watch the Aerosmith video, but you only need to listen to The Oak Ridge Boys song.

Okay I will admit that that hint may be a bit confusing, but I need to put a little space between the videos and the answer.

Remember, no peaking at the answer until after you have watched both videos.

Did you guess the connection yet? If not, that’s okay.

The answer is below.

The connection is this: The Aerosmith video for “Jaded” stars Mila Kunis as the female lead, and her mother’s name is…Elvira. Like I said, it’s funny how the mind works sometimes.
