8-Year-Old Juliet Sings Her First Hardcore Song

prawn1 — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:22:43 +0000

Juliet is a long-haired 8-year-old from Brisbane, Australia. She loves her little Dachshund and her tropical fish, and at that age, loves nothing more than to sing about them.

With help from a producer friend, Juliet’s mother recorded her child playing about with her pet and toys, and timed the video to a piece of heay metal music. The results are violent and adorably cute. Check out My First Hardcore Song below.

Juliet’s music video has been viewed over 18 million times on YouTube, her single is available on iTunes, and the tiny rocker even has her own range of t-shirts.

Ooh Aah. Hello.

prawn1 — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:28:03 +0000

Matthijs Vlot has become the darling of the supercut world. Vlot mashed together a multitude of scenes from other movies to create two of most cheerful mashups that you’ll see on the Internet today (if you haven’t seen them already that is). In Hello, he sources dialogue from a variety of films and syncs it to Lionel Richie’s love song of the same name. And in Ooh Aah, he uses exclamations from other film and cartoon characters to add to Meg Ryan’s fake orgasm scene from “When Harry Met Sally”. See Vlot’s masterful supercuts after the jump.

Why This Kolaveri Di: The Tanglish “Soup” Song

prawn1 — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 07:07:08 +0000

Translated from Tamil, “Why this kolaveri di” means “Why this murderous rage, girl?” The song is taken from the sountrack to an upcoming Tamil film and is performed by playback singer Dhanush. What is more interesting than the quirky title is the tongue that Dhanush sings the song in — Tanglish, a mixture of English and Tamil. Why This Kolaveri Di is also called the Soup song, where soup is Tamil slang for young men who fail at romantic relationships.

The music video has been viewed over 38,000,000 times on YouTube! For more about the song and its history, Wikipedia has all the details.

Hilarious “Phonetic Punctuation” by Victor Borge

prawn1 — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 10:49:10 +0000

The late Victor Borge was not only an accomplished classical pianist but a hilarious comedian to boot. In the early 1940s, Borge (originally Børge Rosenbaum) escaped the Nazi menace in Denmark, travelled to America, and started performing his now-famous routines. One of those skits is called Phonetic Punctuation, where Borge creates different silly sounds for the punctuation that he encounters as he reads a romantic story.

Borge also did duets and a particularly funny one involved singer Marilyn Mulvey who valiantly tried to perform Caro nome from Rigoletto, despite the many interruptions from the pianist. See that clip after the jump.

More of Borge’s comedy routines can be seen on YouTube.

Your Mom Makes Dubstep

This is the funniest thing I’ve heard in ages. Disappointed at the state of dubstep in the world, DJ Logam from interdimensional recording label Betamorph Recordings has shown how simple it has become to create a dubstep track, so much so that even your mom could do it.

You can download the track from here. Logam has also created a competition asking for remixes to Your Mom Makes Dubstep. Have a listen to those mixes, also on Soundcloud.

This Cute Cartoon Medley Brings Back Fond Memories

prawn1 — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 11:25:44 +0000

Back in the day when life was much simpler, cartoons ruled my life. As much as I liked school, I longed for the time it would end each day so that I could rush home to catch the next episode of Voltron. And then there was Dangermouse, Inspector Gadget, Visionaries, Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers, Saber Rider, BraveStarr, She-Ra, Thundersub, …

Artists Jane Lui and Paul Dateh bring back waves of nostalgia in their collaboration, Cartoon Medley, where they play the theme songs from classic cartoons including Inspector Gadget, Duck Takes, and the Animaniacs.

Dubstep Beatboxing

prawn1 — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 09:38:02 +0000

While people like Skrillex uses all manner of computer jiggerypokery to make the familiar dubstep sounds, it seems others are able to do just that with just their mouths. A street performer in Milan, Italy provides an introduction to “bobwobwobwobwobwobwobwob” through the medium of beatboxing.

The artist in question is David Crowe, who once auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent.

DUBSTEPPIN!

Knock Knock.
Who’s there?
Bob.
Bob who?
Bobwobwobwobwobwobwobwob.

Lol, that little dubstep joke is courtesy of @tsozik.

I have no idea what the name of this song is, nor do I know the name of the chap doing the most fantastical dance move in the video. I do know that he has amazing muscle control and I also believe that he is missing a couple of bones in his body. Take a look at PUMPED UP KICKS|DUBSTEP below.

Update: The song a dubstep remix of Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People. And the dancer is Marquese “Nonstop” Scott of the dance crew, REMOTEKONTROL.

Grab Your Tongs for the “Braaiday” Song

prawn1 — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:49:09 +0000

In a tribute to a South Africa institution, Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues have created a song all about the merits of ~~National Heritage Day~~ Braai Day.

In a parody of Rebecca Black’s infamous Friday song, Watts and his hipster friends wax lyrical about the shopping for the right meat, applying the right amount of marinade, and the proper beverages to be consumed. An obligatory black rapper makes an appearance for no reason whatsoever and he likes his women like he does his steak — with meat on the bone.

Check out Braaiday below.

The song is available for download on SoundCloud.

What Video Game Characters Do While You’re Sleeping

Imagine this likely scenario: The “I just need to get to the next save point” excuse has failed and you’ve had to switch your video game off and go to bed. Have you wondered what some of your favourite video game characters might be doing while you are sleeping? Me neither. But YouTube user slamacow imagines what their nighttime follies would be in this music video. Spoiler: they dance to bad techno music, but Nyan Cat makes an appearance so it’s not all bad.

The World Is Saved!

Gamers, whoever and wherever you are, should appreciate this. In a wonderful collaborative effort, IGN and Danny Wiessner (he wrote and performed the piece) created a song for fans of video games and captures the essence of gaming.

From empty stomachs, parched mouths, and the looming deadlines of work life, The World Is Saved takes a look at the trials that we face, the experience we gain after we have finally saved the day, and the memories that stay with us long after the GAME OVER screen.

Movie Line Rhymes

prawn1 — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 07:21:32 +0000

Jordan Laws and the people over at Screen Werks stitched together clips from 48 popular movies to create a wonderful musical mashup. The likes of Darth Vader, Napoleon Dynamite, James Bond, and Audrey II all get together to drop some mad rhymes.

As good as it is, the drum beat is a little too loud and I mentioned on Google+ that it could have done with a line or two from Pulp Fiction. Jules is a natural poet:

My name’s Pitt. And your ass ain’t talkin’ your way out of this shit.

Or perhaps from Pulp Fiction and Snatch:

Brick Top: In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary… come again?
The Wolf: That’s thirty minutes away. I’ll be there in ten.
