Enjoy Your Lunar New Year With Some Of Music's Greatest Butts

According to Chinese reckoning, today marks the lunar new year. It's the Year of the Dragon. Specifically, the Year of the Water Dragon, which I'm told will bestow a peaceful energy on the coming year, favoring the ideals of negotiation and forward thinking.

I know, right? BOOORING. We Americans know that "lunar" is an adjective related to the moon. And "moon" is synonymous with "butt." And what better way to commemorate the passing of another moon cycle than with some clips of the best buns in musical history?

The accompanying use of fireworks is at your discretion, of course.

Bruce Springsteen

If you were largely unfamiliar with the Boss until the release of Born in the U.S.A., and your first exposure to his music was the video for "Dancing in the Dark," you may have come away with a...slightly skewed impression of his work.

Kylie Minogue

George Michael

Given the former Wham frontman's almost immediate disavowal of the posterior fixation of the "Faith" years, it wasn't surprising to discover he was conflicted about other things.
