"Gangsta's Paradise" but every other beat is "Amish Paradise." Some of the resulting new lyrics are interesting.

In the last week I

• stubbed my right big toe so hard half the nail broke off
• had a new roommate move in
• turned a year older and went to a wake that same day (Happy birthday, you’re gonna die.)
• mistakenly unlocked and opened a ( Read more... )

For whatever reason, the most random selection of songs ran through my mind out of nowhere today.

1. "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson
2. "Walk the Dinosaur" by Was (Not Was)
3. "Rhythm Nation" by Janet Jackson

In other personal music news, I only just realized that this lyric in Weird Al Yankovic's "One More Minute" was a case of Getting Crap ( Read more... )

The temperatures in New York City this October started with early summer and "I can't believe I still need to use my air conditioner in October" then recently did a sudden steep drop to winter, and I haven't been dealing well. As I type this, I'm very cold in my bedroom wearing fingerless gloves and a hoodie with its hood up over my clothing and ( Read more... )

This week two strangers in two different settings started a conversation with me about Dancing With the Stars, which is two more conversations with strangers than I usually have a week. One was at the laundromat while the TV spoke of Nancy Grace's wardrobe malfunction, while the other was at Sizzler when someone overheard my conversation with my ( Read more... )

There's industrial, alternative, dance, electronic, goth, pop, metal.... It's Faith No More, it's Korn, it's VAST, it's Nickelback, it's Crossfade, it's Enigma, it's Incubus, it' ( Read more... )

Seth Green discusses roles he's had and shows he's worked on and being in Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" video for The Onion's A.V. Club.

This Death Note vid is comic genius, and the lip-syncing is amazing. It's L/Light to "Do I Creep You Out?"

I never realized it was Donny Osmond dancing in the back of Weird Al Yankovic's "White and Nerdy" video. YouTube has a clip of him dancing behind Al for the whole song against a green screen, and he's insane. He also signs ROTFLOL in American Sign Language during that part of the song.

...I had his and Marie's dolls when I was 5.

You guys know that I enjoy some German industrial and dance, but the problem with foreign language CDs for me is that if the music itself doesn't grab me there's no chance that lyrics I like will save it. Eisbrecher's Antikörper doesn't rate as high as Eisbrecher did because some of the songs just sounded really generic to me. I liked a lot of the ( Read more... )

...VH1's Best Week Ever just compared liking Weird Al Yankovic to liking butt play. (regarding "White and Nerdy")

Is that Seth Green at the "all my action figures are cherry" bit???
