I promise I won't turn this into some viral marketing channel. But... This video of a song for the PopCap Plants vs. Zombies game is just so cute! The game is being released today, and some people are already hooked.



It reminds me a bit of Magical Trevor, though it's still not as cool a song as Re: Your Brains ....and.... that's pretty much ( Read more... )

I have an account here on Dreamwidth now and will probably start posting here. I do plan to crosspost to LiveJournal, so my Twisted Tuesday entries will continue both places.

I will still be reading LJ as often as usual (which was not as often as I used to, but I try to keep current.

25 years ago, a film appeared about a British rock group trying to break into the American scene. With improved acting... wait... improvved... Hrm... that's not really a word, is it? Can we start over? Great. Thanks.

In 1984, This is Spinal Tap hit the theaters, confusing audiences everywhere. This mockumentary featured Harry Shearer, Michael ( Read more... )

A band doesn't get more indie than making a song about a serial killer. The Greenskeepers managed to make one that gets lines from The Silence of the Lambs stuck in your head. As if Cartman quoting it wasn't enough.( Video under cut. )

Just pointing people to a great song on the FuMP that came out this week. One might argue that it's not "funny" as such, but it's very good and has some great irony.

In the late 90s, the Internet was getting very popular. DSL had just come into play and the web was exploding. This meant that nearly anyone could get on the net, including people who shouldn't be there. This led Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie to create a skit which they later animated in 2005.

I've been focusing mostly on classics over these first few weeks, but there's some great new stuff out there as well. This week's entry was created last month and I'm including it to help celebrate Obama visiting the homeland of the Beatles. The video itself was created by a fan during the past few weeks.

Baseball season starts with opening day on April 6. And with that, I'm sure you all know what's coming for today's Twisted Tuesday.

Abbott & Costello first performed together in a burlesque show in 1935. Within three years they were on the radio, and within five years, they were signed as supporting characters for One Night in the Tropics where they ( Read more... )

This week's Twisted Tuesday is dedicated to Karen who was one of the first people to ask me if I'd heard of a song based on a vague description of the song and allowing me to answer "Oh, yes. That's (song x) by (group y)." In this case x is Star Trekkin' and group y is The Firm (but not *that* The Firm).

I probably should have saved this for the ( Read more... )

Tom Lehrer's fame is arguable. Those who have heard of him seem to know a lot about him, and those who haven't (and probably outnumber the former these days) know nothing. ...obviously. However, anyone who has listened to humor and satire long, is bound to have run into his music. The New York Times said of him in 1959 "Mr. Lehrer's muse is not ( Read more... )
