Viral Videos You Should Watch

17 Mar

These are some of the best videos I’ve seen over the past day

1) Jimmy Wong (Response to Alexandra Wallace): This Middlebury alum performs a mocking video of Alexandra Wallace. Really catchy. Well done Jimmy.

2) “Bless You” (Remake of “Fuck You” by Cee Lo Green): Because everyone asked for a Christian version of the explicit “Fuck You,” these guys delievered.

3) Stupid Internet: Now this poor boy never knew that 15 years after he sang (and danced) his little heart out to Mariah Carey’s “Emotions,” YouTube would be invented and his life would be ruined.

4) Steve Kardynal (“Born ThiS Way”): Apparently, this guy is famous. He sure freaked out most of NYC by singing Lady Gaga’s latest hit in drag. Was it not cold when he filmed it?

5) Wesleyan Students (“I Have Sex”): If you haven’t heard, the Republicans in the House want to cut all funding for Planned Parenthood. The students at Wesleyan don’t think that’s a good idea and this video shows how many of them have used that organization’s resources.

Bieber with Rascal Flatts

When I saw this, I wanted to cry. I actually like some of Rascal Flatts music. Talk about selling out. Maybe this is the worst song ever.

Possibly the Two Worst Songs Ever

15 Mar

In human history. Ever made. Without a doubt. Take a listen if you don’t believe me.

1) Rebecca Black (“Friday”): Poor Rebecca. She probably hoped that one day a song of hers would go viral. Just probably not for these reasons. Her voice is just so bizarre it makes listening painful. Then, she gets autotuned out the wazoo. She pronounces Friday like she’s just learning English. Then, there’s the music video. Rolling Stone says it might be a good thing.

2) Jenna Rose  (“My Jeans”): This song makes me want to listen to Black’s on repeat (!). Oh my god. Talk about Autotuning something to death. She sings about jeans, Miley Cyrus and hanging out with her friends (OMG!). Wow, it’s horrible. And then someone decides that a rap would be a good idea. Wrong. Just so wrong.

Waka Flocka Goes Nude for PETA

9 Mar

Waka Flocka nude

Famous rapper Waka Flocka stripped down to his birthday suit in the latest ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Known for ads with scantily clad (or nude) females, Flocka becomes one of the first males and probably the only rapper to go nude for advertising. Best known for the song “No Hands,” Flocka says that he’s loved animals since he was very small.

According to PETA’s website:

Waka thinks that “[fur] is nasty!” and urges the hip-hop community to “understand what you buy.” Animals who are killed for their fur, such as foxes, minks, rabbits—even dogs and cats—are bludgeoned, stomped, electrocuted, and often skinned alive. Waka shares his disgust and exclaims, “Damn … electrocuting and killing animals!”

The ad campaign is being called “Ink, Not Mink.” Check out the image above.

Highly Popular, Rated-R Music Scene

27 Feb

In case you don’t follow the music world as closely as I do, I’d like to draw your attention to two songs that made it into the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10 this week. Somehow I don’t think either of these songs would have been so successful, even 10 years ago.

1) Cee Lo Green— “Fuck You” or “F*** You” or “Forget You”

Now it probably won’t rise next week, but Green’s song has the chance to become the first-ever chart-topper with such an explicit word in it’s title. This song has had incredible staying power. Time Magazine named it the number one song of 2010, but it just reached its peak position on the charts last week. Helped by a Grammy Performance, it hit number 2 on last week’s chart, blocked from the top position by Lady Gaga. Green first released a graphic video for the song, which went viral last summer. Even cynics of pop music have to admit, “this is a big f***ing song.”

2) Rihanna— “S&M”

Yep, this song about particularly kinky sex has been dominating the radio over the past couple of weeks. Just last week it hit number 7 on the chart, and it could be poised for greater heights this week. The music video has been banned by 11 countries because of its explicit content, and features Perez Hilton being walked by Rihanna. Many feared that Rihanna was done, but this sounds like her pop best. Just don’t let people hear you singing the chorus:

‘Cause I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don’t care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones,
But chains and whips excite me.
