My insane love of musical covers and parodies strikes again! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41APzy5kqBU] The original. “oh. my. god, Becky!” I think I will never get over the amusement of Sir Mix A Lot prancing around on that huge plaster ass. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltjbnyvq_SI] The Jonathan Coulton version. Folktastic! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7deNm63-n0] Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine – the lounge-lizard […]

[flickr video=http://www.flickr.com/photos/ornery_chick/2675869286/] Here is a video of Smallcat eating the membrane from the inside of a bell-pepper (that bit of stuff the seeds hang from). Oh and yes, I did meow back at the cat. Force of habit; I meow at my cats. I am a gigantic doofus. Also, yes, Smallcat is rather chubby, but […]

But I betcha I’d know this song: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RrwA9hVxVw&hl=en] The reason I would know it is because it’s basically a cover of this: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sCj8Qvbr4g&hl=en] I find them both pretty awesome in a giddy, hyperactive, over-produced way.

I have two different songs fighting for predominance in my poor head. Two highly different songs in every possible way. See below: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRwMdKO4ikE&hl=en] ROMAN My Dear Boy, by Morning Musume (I know, I should be ashamed, but I do so adore these giddy girls) The other is: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNRwbTLouxQ&hl=en] Thunderstruck, by AC/DC. This is one band […]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJQVlVHsFF8&hl=en] Probably the WORST song in the history of disco, probably the worst cover of a bad song, and almost certainly the worst production values for a music video EVAR, but dang, do I ever enjoy it!

The Internet Phenomenon of “rickrolling” has just come to my attention, which means the meme has probably been building for months and months now, and I’m the last person to know that “rickrolling” is misleading somebody to click a link which takes them to the music video of 1980s 1-hit-wonder Rick Astley “Never gonna give […]

There was this one Invader Zim episode where Zim turns Dib into bologna because Dib threw bologna at Zim. (click this link to view the episode in another browser)  When Bologna comes in contact with Zim’s skin, it fuses to him, causing him immense pain and wailing.  I know that makes no earthly sense, but there […]

I’ve been considering earworms just lately, because I’ve had one or another of them stuck in my head constantly for the past two weeks or so. It started with Morning Coffee, a sweet, wistful, decade-old Japanese bubblegum pop hit from the first incarnation of the wildly popular and enduring Morning Musume. The song is all […]

I think it took all of three minutes to vote. Seriously, there was hardly any turnout at my local polling station. There was one woman leaving when I got there, and two men and another woman showed up as I was on my way out. No lines, no pollsters, no campaigners hanging out the prescribed […]

1. Confession time! (oh, this is going to be fun!) I sometimes confuse or conflate various celebrities or famous people, because I don’t follow their doings closely and maybe they look kind of alike, or have similar names. For example, I can’t ever keep David Duchovny & George Clooney straight in my mind. Back in […]
