Creepy

I do not consider Scarlet's "Independent Love Song" creepy, cuz why should I it was the song for Bed of Roses. Here are the lyrics for those who don't know or remember the song:

You could say this was an independent love song
It's nothing like two lovers
What love meant to them
But that's not to say the love we had
Isn't big or that strong
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way

You might say this is another boring love song
To be together and forever be true
And so today is much the same as it was then
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way

I'll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I'll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on

Now I find that many men will look my way
And I'll take them and let them show me the way
And sure I like a few but I leave the rest to play
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way

I'm gonna show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I'll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on

In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way

I'll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I'll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on

You could say this was an independent love song
It's nothing like two lovers
What love meant to them
But that's not to say the love we have
Isn't good or that strong
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way

Agree? Not creepy right? Then why on earth is the video creepy? (I wonder how many times creepy will be said in this blog, hehe).

Here's the video:



Why are cupid's arrows killing the happy in love people? Well really only one out of each couple seems to be dying. I find that particularly creepy. I don't know about you.

While finding the video I found another version of the song by a German band, The Bates. They also had a video. While watching it I thought they definitely took the creepy factor to another level.



Okay I know they took their band name from Hitchcock's film Psycho, but did they have to take a love song and create a Silence of the Lambs video? Talk about uber creepy!

Creepy tally: 7 or 8 or wait is it 9? Oh who cares! :)

Huh?!?

I was watching "Best Week Ever" and "The Soup" and both shows had a clip from Tyra's talk show with guests Spencer and Heidi from "The Hills". Now, if you didn't already know how big of an idiot Spencer was well he shows it in the interview.

At around the 4 minute mark you will see what I mean:



Did he just say that? And if I was Tyra I think I would have reacted differently. Oh and Tyra did you just say "perfect couple" to Spencer and Heidi? Are you smoking something?

Anyway, I then checked out Heidi's video that Spencer directed. First off, who told Heidi she could sing? And secondly, could there be some variety in the video?



I love Audrina's (also from "The Hills") reaction to the video.

It is all in the look:



Okay let's move on from the crazy and end with a great video from "The Soup":

YouTube Comments

YouTube is entertaining for so many reasons. You can find TV shows, original content, commercials, etc. But the most entertaining part of YouTube is the comments section. There you find the comedy, the crazy, the over-sharers, and the so-called intelligent. I am the most interested in the first three.

I watched Mariah Carey’s old video “Always Be My Baby” recently and of course it had to do with David Cook’s version on American Idol. BTW, he is too arrogant, but he continues to do great performances so it is hard to hate him. It would be better if he stopped the bowing!

Anyway, I was talking about YouTube comments! I of course watched the video and checked out the comments:



First, the crazy:

omg i luv thiz songg soo much and the vidoe alwayz makez me cry. lyke in a pool ov tearz. itz lyke da last day of camp and your goin ur seprate waiiz. omg and dey kiss under water how mani people get to do that in their lifetime. omg

Wait I am confused. You are telling me only a select few can kiss under water!?! No one ever told me that!

Second, the over-sharer:

this is scary. i mean. i think she is very pretty in an unconventional way. alos i lost my virginity to someone who looked like her, but she was the slutty version of mariah and a 5 foot flat version. weird. now i can't looks at mariah without thinking of her

You know, all I can say to that is I really did NOT want to know that!

And lastly, the comedy:

i love this song it reminds me of the guy i work with that i like cause he always calls me baby

Correct me if I am wrong but, um, I think that is called sexual harassment?

Have you found comments that amuse you on youtube?

One more thing, the group dance on Dancing With The Stars looked a little awkward and why did the song have to be “Cotton-Eye Joe”?

My Ideal TV Boyfriend!

Two of my friends took the "Who is your ideal TV boyfriend" quiz, so I decided to also take it.

And guess who I got!

Who is Your Ideal TV Boyfriend?



Although I would not have minded either one of my friends' results.

"I've found a masterpiece in you"

So, I am watching American Idol and they are performing songs from when they were born. And of course, all of the contestants are recalling when they first sang or picked up an instrument. For some reason my mind wandered to when my sister and I would record ourselves singing or saying stupid things. Well I recall one time I decided to take a song and replace some words with my own. Really the only part I remember changing is one word. But, at the moment, I cannot find that cassette tape or else there would be more than one word changed.

Let me just preface this by saying I was really young and you know some things are really funny when you are young. So, you remember that Atlantic Starr song "Masterpiece"? The chorus is:

I've found a masterpiece in you

A work of art it's true

And I treasure you my love

I think when I was making up the new word I combined the first two lines. So my version went like this: I've found the master fart in you

I know classy huh? I remember my sister vividy saying on the tape "You're stupid!" She was so loving, but so so true. It was stupid, but hey for your enjoyment I found the music video!

Here is Atlantic Starr "Masterpiece". Enjoy!

Awesome, right?!?

And for your viewing pleasure:

"But I think it's about forgiveness"

What is up with me and random songs I haven’t heard in years popping into my head?

Guess what it is this time!

Don Henley’s “The Heart of the Matter”

This is the part that is constantly in my head:

But I think it’s about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore

Do I need to forgive someone? Is the Big Guy upstairs trying to tell me something? Oh goodness, you know when I wrote “big guy”, what I heard in my head? Of course it is from a TV show:



Yeah, that was nice. You probably did not want to see that, but let’s get back to the heart of the matter. <--Oh, oh look what I did there; I am sooo good, haha!



First off, the hair! Does that look like a wig to you? It is just so much. I mean my first reaction was this:



But then I saw some different pictures and thought maybe he has more of the Linda Hamilton hair:


Second are they using pickaxes to try and get down to the heart of the matter?

And third, does this video have really anything to do with the song? I mean it doesn’t have to be literal but give me something!

The Response

Stephanie alerted me yesterday about the new video Jimmy Kimmel made in response to Sarah Silverman's video a couple weeks ago.

I wouldn't say it is a better video, but it does have a lot of Hollywood people!

Enjoy:



Which video is better Silverman's or Kimmel's?

Placeholder

Just thought I would post a video until I can think of a humorous, witty and intelligent blog to write.

I saw a music video this afternoon that was cute, happy, fun, hoppy and just enjoyable. I bet many of you aren't even going to click on it because I am saying that it's a country song. Maybe if I say it is Carrie Underwood you would be more inclined? Yes, no? Oh whatever, like I care watch it if you want!

There is a little ode to her "Before He Cheats" video in the video, which is quite entertaining.

Enjoy! If you can, it is called "All-American Girl":

Jimmy Kimmel VS. Matt Damon

Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Sarah Silverman was one of the guests. I decided to watch for a little bit, it was taking her a while to get to her point so I almost turned off the television to go to bed. And I am so glad I didn't! Because what resulted was awesome!

It was so awesome I FELL on the floor laughing so hard!

If you know anything about the connection between Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon this will be even more hilarious to you, if you don't it will be just hilarious!

Here it is:



So what did you think? Was it funny, or was it just really late at night and I was just delusional?

“Oh baby, baby it’s a wild world”

Can you sing the next line?

That line just popped into my head one day. Why was that? I have no frickin' clue. I haven’t heard that song in a long time and I couldn’t even place it. But, Mr. Google (yes, we are formal) helped me out and said the song was by the band Mr. Big (no, we are not formal).

By the way, I know its originator is Cat Stevens, but I am more familiar with Mr. Big’s version.

Anyway, enter youtube and its awesomeness! I had to re-familiarize myself with Mr. Big so I watched “To Be With You”, the best song from 1992! Okay, so maybe it wasn’t but it is in my top songs of that year! Here it is:



Now, I just am wondering a few things about this video…why does it change from black and white to color? Was there something special in the lyrics to make that transition? And one more thing why does the guy with the tambourine have better hair than anyone else? Because the lead singer seems to have gotten his hair styling tips from Tiffany:

In 1993, Mr. Big covered “Wild World” and made a video. This time they got a little more adventurous:



Again, I have comments. It has been most likely over a year since the last video, why on earth did the lead singer not cut his hair? Is it rock ‘n roll to keep it that way? Why all the crazy use of the green screen? Oh and if the song is about saying goodbye to your significant other, why would you put nature clips in the video? Is it because of the phrase "it’s a wild world"? I have a feeling it doesn’t mean animals and flowers.

For more enjoyment here is a group of guys who recreated the “To Be With You” video. It is quite accurate, though they didn't add the transition to color:



I love reading the comments on youtube, cuz people are crazy:

From rocknroller91:

u guys r pathetic i absolutely love mr big and ur recreation of it disgusts me how u can make a fun of a excellent band with talent like that is pathetic. i wudnt mind if it was done in a manner that was making fun of them but it is

Did that make any sense to you?

American Gladiators

I really do not like how reality has seeped into the new "American Gladiators". I do not need to have a full background on the contestants. I could care less. I used to watch for the games and the gladiators! The gladiators are who I wouldn't mind a background check on. I loved Nitro in the original...that or he is the one I only truly remember.

So you decide, new or old?

Here is an old clip.

And the new...


Here is another fun clip associated with American Gladiators.

I hate when clips are not embedded.
