HeynaPod!!! grumble.....grumble.....
I'm horrible with song names....I can conjure up the tune of about 3 of these songs in my head by just reading the names, but that's about it, yet I'm sure I've heard them all. As for Commish's list...don't think I recognized a damn one I miss my Ipod. It was I believe stolen out of the backseat of my car last summer in Jersey.....my fault for leaving it sitting out in the open with the windows down.

My musical tastes run amok!! I like every kinda music except for most of the current stuff. To me, it lacks "human-ness" & is too electronic, cold & repetative.

And that ridiculous wailing that started with Mariah Carey that seems to be the mantra of EVERY female singer nowadays!! It's like nobody can stay on one note anymore without doing rounds & acrobatic riffs!! ( I always say to Bill it sounds like they've got stomach cramps!!)

That's the opinion of an old fart musician.

I think the Office has jumped the shark a while ago.

No, I totally agree with you! It seems these days that "talent" is measured by those vocal "acrobatics". What happened to the classic, pure voices of yesterday? I much prefer them to a lot of today's music.

Well, if the music industry is anything like it used to be, it's not the VOCAL acrobatics that get you anywhere....(if ya catch my drift...).

We used to have a saying...."it's who ya know & who ya (rhymes with know)"!!

I'm really becoming addicted to YouTube more and more as of late. There's a lot of odd remixes and mish-mashes that I've really come to enjoy. I can't help just shaking my groove thang around the office, campus, or even behind the wheel sometimes!


YouTube - Goldigger + Beethoven's 5th Video Mashup

YouTube - Coldplay - Viva la Vida (Telemitry Remix)

YouTube - Kylie Minogue - Can't Get Blue Monday Out of My Head

YouTube - Sweet Dreams are Made of Seven Nation Army

YouTube - Franz Ferdinand vs Kelis - Take Me out For a Milkshake

YouTube - Viva La Vida Dance Remix

YouTube - Tone Loc Vs. Yes Vs. Kylie Minogue (Mashup)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4IECGgyLKo

YouTube - Mash Up - Staying Alive In the Club (ft. 50 Cent & Bee Gees) VJProfessionals.com Video Remix

YouTube - "Tick-Toxic" - Mash Up of Britney Spears & Gwen Stefani

I've also become attracted to really stupid animal videos as my once-brilliant mind devolves into the mush we call America! LOL!


YouTube - Hamster On A Piano (Eating Popcorn)

YouTube - Cat Flushing A Toilet Music Video

YouTube - Chimpanzee Riding A Segway

YouTube - Wiener Dog riding Skateboard

YouTube - Boogie Boogie Hedgehog

YouTube - Dramatic Chipmunk

YouTube - Sneezing Panda

This one is kind of sad more so than funny, but it reminded me of the old-school Fay Franus from the city council meetings!

YouTube - Very Angry Cat - FUNNY
