Reggie Watts Delivers the Best Rick Roll of All Time
YouTube Comedy Week is in full swing and Comedy Bang Bang music man Reggie Watts has done something amazing. The comedian has flawlessly recreated Rick Astley‘s iconic song of love and devotion, “Never Gonna Give You Up”. Enjoy: …and here is the original for reference. You’re welcome.
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Cotton-Eyed Joe’ by Rednex
This week’s workout song, “Cotton-Eyed Joe” is dedicated to the gang over at the New Girl as it reminded me that I had the maxi-single of this hit on casette. A “Where are they now?” special is long overdue for the Burning Man/Haight St./steampunk homeless hybrid known as Rednex. Rednex – Cotton Eye Joe from...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Crazy in Love’ Cover by Emeli Sandé for ‘The Great Gatsby’
Everyone is spazzing and gushing over Jay-Z‘s The Great Gatsby soundtrack, but I’m not…mainly because I really haven’t listened to much of it. But I did hear a couple of tracks…like the cover of Amy Winehouse‘s “Back to Black” by Andre 3000 and Mrs. Beyonce Carter. Yeah. It’s haunting. It’s a little bizarre. It’s an...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Blurred Lines’ by Robin Thicke featuring T.I. & Pharrell
Someone recently asked me, “Who do you like better Robin Thicke or Justin Timberlake?” That’s a tough one. It’s like the ultimate falsetto smackdown of the 21st century. After much thought, I decided that in terms of charisma, J.T. has it on lock…but when it comes to singing talent, Mr. Thicke wins it for me....
Workout Song of the Week: ‘Pom Poms’ by The Jonas Brothers
The Jonas Brothers have been around for so long that you’d think I would be a fan of them considering I have the taste in music of a tween girl. I have remained ignorant of their music…until now. I have been jammin’ out to their latest song, “Pom Poms” for four reasons: 1.) It’s a...
When Anna Kendrick Sings While Using a Cup as an Instrument, The World Listens
I felt the need to post this music video of the “Cups” song with Anna Kendrick (the same song she performed on Pitch Perfect) because everyone in the world wants to be her best friend. I don’t know why they waited so long after the movie to make this video, but I am so happy...
‘Accidental Racist’ is the Best Worst Song About Not Being Racist
Brad Paisley and L.L. Cool J have been really causing a buzz with their song, “Accidental Racist”. The title alone is subject for scrutiny and ridicule…but before we get to all that, let’s listen to the song, shall we? First off, let’s focus on the song itself. It’s essentially about a white guy who wants...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘People Like Us’ by Kelly Clarkson
Don’t be surprised. Anything Kelly Clarkson does will eventually end up in my workout regiment. I’m pretty sure that she is making all these songs just for me. Even though the staging of her performance of “People Like Us” on last week’s American Idol was a hellacious glowstick 5th grade craft project, the song delivers...
Finer Feed: New ‘Arrested Development’ Posters and a ‘Breaking Bad’ Spinoff?
The new character posters for Arrested Development have lots of character, with no actual characters. Pretty damn brilliant. [/Film] Saul from Breaking Bad might get his own spinoff. Next up: a wild and wacky sitcom about the people work at Los Pollos Hermanos. [The A.V. Club] Glee is going to do a school shooting episode....
Thank You SNL, We Needed This ‘Voice’ Sketch
The Voice is easily my favorite singing competition show right now. American Idol has turned into a show where the world act like Nicki Minaj is a legitimate singer and Randy Jackson says “In it to win it” at least 12 times. X Factor is just American Idol but with a bigger budget and America’s...
Workout Song of the Week: ‘World of Entertainment (WOE is me)’ by Jurassic 5
On Saturday, I jumped into a cab and the driver was at least in his mid-40s and of Eastern European descent. After settling in, I realized that he blasting music by the one of my favorite hip hop groups Jurassic 5. Now, this was an interesting combination. It was kind of like seeing a supermodel...
Finer Feed: New ‘Great Gatsby’ Posters and Clint Eastwood Musicals
Here’s a new poster for Baz Luhrmann‘s The Great Gatsby. Yup. It still looks like a movie about rich white people..except FLASHIER! [ComingSoon.net.] Clint Eastwood is in talks to direct the movie adaptation of the musical Jersey Boys because as we all know, Clint Eastwood is known for his stellar movie musicals. [Screen Rant] Will...
