Music Bender

Well, my journeys through YouTube have produced many an interesting video, but never one so… loosely related to music as this one. “Hit The Road Jack” is featured in this short video, portraying the aptly named Tupac of Long Beach Cocktails making cocktails fly. And if you were interested in just where the idea of cocktails came from, check out this post over at Food History about the history of cocktails. Don’t act like you weren’t wondering where they came from.

I really can’t believe these are songs. It amazes me everyday listening to the radio that people pay to hear these “artists” on CD and in concert. This is also an issue of great concern. If you find this sort of music to be anything but laughably terrible, I may take issue with your intellect. My apologies, but honestly people. Anyway, no matter if you find the following funny or actually enjoy it as the artist wanted it to be enjoyed, sit back and smile!

Lip Gloss

My Humps

Dangit, I can’t even file this under “Worth Watching”. Oh well.

hatebreed, my humps, fergie, lip gloss, lil mama, bad songs, really bad songs, and so forth

It’s about time for another WTF post. And here we are with a couple videos that are VERY WTF?!?!?

First it’s Alanis Morissette’s cover of My Humps. I uhh… No.

And next we have a video that will find many sympathetics with all of us in Physics class right now. Check out this classy jazz filled view of a real-life physics problem.

For our last stop on the Doubya Tee Eff Train, we’ve got the “Blades of Glory” Music video, featuring Bo Bice, the guy from American Idol a couple of seasons ago. I can’t wait to see the movie, but this’ll have to suffice for now.

In a stunning performance, Kermit the Frog has recorded a cover of Radiohead’s “Creep”. Increasing signs of depression have followed this performance, and by the latest reports, Kermit has checked into a rehab center just a few miles from his home in Hollywood. No information was available on Kermit and his relationship with long-time girlfriend, Miss Piggy. Jim Henson, meanwhile, is turning over in his grave.

In the past couple of seasons, Saturday Night Live has been featuring these Digital Shorts, usually one per show, a pre-filmed segment that often is a song of some sort. Here are some of the best.

The Natalie Portman Rap

Unfortunately YouTube seems to have eradicated all traces of Lazy Sunday, the Chronicles of Narnia rap that simply blew everyone away.

Hey everyone, sorry I’ve been gone and not making my daily posts. Tomorrow I’ll make my first for this week. I’ve been away due to business in Chicago looking at a college there and looking at the city in general. Exciting stuff, and it left me with some great ideas for the rest of the week!

Yes! You heard right, featuring Michael Jackson’s Thriller: It’s Thriller Thursday!!! This is the most looked forward to day of the week, as always.

Firstly, let’s kick it off with the video in it’s entirety.

Oh, man, are you dancing yet? The people at this wedding certainly were…

If that hasn’t gotten you into a good mood yet, try this for size. Apparently there’s an Indian Version… It’s pretty sweet. *Dies of sarcasm stroke*

Well, I may have overloaded a bit much for Techno Tuesday, so Wanksta Wednesday will be a little less video heavy.

Wanksta Wednesday is to celebrate uhh… all that is wank. Sta. Whatever, here’s Fiddy Cent’s Wanksta Music Video, let’s see where things go from there.

This video is the obvious lead in to this next video, featuring a true wanksta doin’ da walk in skoo.

Okay, so maybe not as wanksta as I first thought, but let’s continue our journey into wanksta-ism.

As defined by UrbanDictionary a “Wanksta” is

1) A “wanksta” is a very basic word meaning a person who acts/looks like a gangster or thug, but has never done anything gangster or thug-like besides acting or looking like one. It can be towards any race or ethnicity. The word does NOT imply a WHITE guy acting black.

2) A contraction of “wack-ass gangsta” used pejoratively to label those who purport themselves to be ganstas but who are simply posing as such.

3) Fake gangster, hustler or faking on anything that involves doing dirt.

never went blood or crip hunting.

only when photo ops are around they quickly throw up gangsigns and meanmug like they gangbang when they don’t.

They like to act hard all the time. but when you confront them. they be like “nah dude. nah dude.”

somebody who drives around in a rent-a-car luxury car and pretends to own it. and act like he hustles.

always flashing huge wads of money in public. but in reality its his laundry money hes going to use that day. etc…

You need to stop that wanksta ass before you really get litup fool.

Oh. Okay, go look at Fitty’s video again.

Continuing our themed ride for this week, we have techno Tuesday, where we celebrate the sheer awesomeness of some excellent techno beats. I’ve listened to an awful lot of techno, trance, house, and dance music, but for the most part I stick to some fairly common songs in this post. Which could lead to this blog’s downfall, but I really do like the Axel F by Crazy Frog music video. Sorry! However, there are some great others that I like too, so check ‘em all out.

Beethoven Virus - Banya

Sandstorm - Darude

Every Time We Touch - Cascada

Heaven - DJ Sammy

OH NOES, You ready for some REAL techno?

Breath - Prodigy

Just Be - DJ Tiesto

As The Rush Comes - Motorcycle

Starting off this themed week with a moody Monday, we have Snow Patrol, a band with mellow tunes and melancholy lyrics. Even their upbeat songs have something a bit… sad about them. Here are a couple of videos. Even though they aren’t the most amazing videos, they still fit the songs, and the songs are definitely worth listening to.
