I can't stand Taylor Swift, but if I have to listen to her music, this is the kind of video I want to watch along with it. Props to the effort they went to in recreating the video for "You Belong With Me" all the way down to the hideously awful handwritten T-shirt! And the boys are super cute!
A friend of mine posted this to Facebook and asked everyone to spread the love, because it's her boyfriend's band. And after watching the video, I have no problem sharing the love, because I honestly do love it! The song is called "Superhero," and it's the first music video by the band Tim and the Space Cadets. Yes, it's geared to a slightly younger audience, but the chorus is super fun, and the whole video is undeniably adorable.
I defy you to watch this and not have a smile on your face by the end!
But to be fair, also the most awesomest thing I saw today.
Charo is a regular guest on Jerry Lewis' telethons, but this has to be one of her greatest performances yet. Yes, she's covering Rhianna's "Please Don't Stop The Music" with her thick, thick accent. It starts out awkward, then takes a turn for the hilarious, but then somehow ends up landing at effing amazing. Seriously. I want a Spanish version of this song. It's fantastic. Also fantastic is the audience interaction, particularly the woman who simply refuses to play along. Jerry's reaction is classic. His reaction to the almost-lap dance is hilarious, but make sure to stay for his jokes at the very end! The guy's a legend for a reason... and so is Charo!
It's not another song parody, but The Midnight Beast is at it again with a ridiculous little musical skit that's still awful funny. These guys are really good, and I look forward to more of these videos. And I've developed a bit of a crush on Ashley. Enjoy!
If you don't know who Jedward is... well, I can't help you. Suffice it to say that their cheese has made them unlikely celebrities despite their glaring lack of actual talent. At least it's only on the other side of the pond. But this video needs to make the rounds because their performance of "Under Pressure" is so BSC that it demands to be seen by as many eyes as possible.
I just have to wonder if Vanilla Ice thinks this is some kind of mash-up since as you know, that base line is totally different...
Okay, so you know that iPod Touch ad with the really catchy song about how "she's got me dancing?" Well, I found out that was by Tommy Sparks, and after being addicted to that tune for a bit, I investigated more of his music. But the song that I became hopelessly addicted to is this song by the band Filthy Dukes, featuring Tommy. It's called "Messages," and it makes me feel like it's 1985 all over again. Seriously. I can't stop listening to it. I'm afraid my iPod is going to stage an intervention any day now. So imagine my delight to find a video on YouTube! And despite the glowy mouth thing, I'll totally have some of whatever he's having. Infect me!
The Midnight Beast are at it again. If you liked their "Tik Tok" parody (I do — more than the actual song as it turns out!), check out their take on "Down" by Jay Sean. They also recently released their "Tik Tok" parody on iTunes, and are probably well on their way to a record deal at this point. Enjoy!

Oh sure, this cereal looks harmless enough. I mean, I guess it's a little creepy the way that King Vitamin is leering out at you as if to invite you into his sketchy lair. But aside from that unsavory character, if you make the jump, you'll see what's really wrong with this breakfast treat.
I don't know where this student production of Peter Pan was staged, but I would guess this had to be their opening night. And hopefully they were able to work out the kinks before any subsequent performances! Make sure you stay through all the chaos with the set to watch Wendy do her best impression of the chick from Paranormal Activity!
Okay, I know that "Single Ladies" got completely played out thanks to all the idiots lip-syncing and dancing the choreography trying to go viral on the interwebs. But I think it's been long enough now that it might be coming back around to being okay again, so with that, I offer you up this video mash-up. Also, it's brilliant. Please to enjoy!
In case you actually needed more proof that the Muppets are all kinds of awesome, I present to you this outtake from Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. While waiting for the next setup to be completed, Jimmy and his Muppet pals are just killing time when things get interesting. People breaking into song + Muppets = Gold.
I actually feel gayer after watching this. The lyrics are in the corner if you feel like singing along! (But why are they singing about dirty eyed girls?)
