Disney Recycle?

Okay, this is really eye-opening! I had NO IDEA that disney re-used their scenes, frame by frame. I knew that Kaa was in Jungle Book and Robin Hood, as was Baloo, but I mean, well, gee...

Just watch this, okay? You will FREAK OUT! Promise.

The creepy music doesn't help with the whole 'not-freaking-out' thing.

Karaoke anyone?

Okay, so I'm a little old to have been involved in the Dance Dance and Karaoke Revolutions. I don't think we had any revolutions in the 70-80's. But we sure had some timeless music!

Now you can sing it! That's right, the hits of yesterday and today can be sung online, all you need is a microphone, no registration required, over at Karaokeparty.com. What a hoot!

I went for Oasis Wonderwall right away, and I must say, I sound mahvalous. It isn't the original singers like in Karaoke Revolution, but they are rather good. I dare say, if you go visit you will be amused.

Tesla Coil Guitar Fail

Okay, what if I told you there was a guy who had two Tesla Coils that throw out sparks three-feet long?

What if I told you he hooked his guitar up to it, so that the sparks were thrown whenever he played?

What if I told you he played Thunderstruck, by AC/DC?

Sounds like a winner, right?

Nope. EPIC FAIL!

Great idea, guitar guy, but, um, LEARN TO PLAY! Or get your friend who can play to do it for you.

If this were my video, I would take it down. It sucks so bad.

When you have an idea this great, it's hard to screw it up. He managed.

10 guys, 12 days

Okay, the title sounded bad, but it's just an a capella group.

A friend told me about these guys - an absolutely unique take on the twelve days of Christmas. Very talented, pretty funny, and a lot of work put into the act. Apparently the other stuff by them is good too, but I didn't browse it all. Sorry about two videos in a row, but it's Christmas, you know. You have to expect a lot of Christmas stuff.

Unless I was Jewish, or Muslim. Or a profound atheist. But I'm not.

Well, enjoy the video.

TelevisionTunes

I found this site recently. It is a very exhaustive resource for themes (opening and closing) for shows from way back to today. I first looked up "New Zoo Review," a song that inexplicably darts around my head from time to time. Then "The Electric Company" (We're gonna turn it on...we're gonna bring you the power...), and "Zoom" (the old one).

Then, Doctor Who, the old one, with Tom Baker. Excellent! Well, I didn't even mention "Hong Kong Phooey," or "George of the Jungle" or any of the other great tunes I remember. You can really have fun with this site.

Super Mario Bros. 2 theme, gypsy-jazz style

Okay, okay, it's a three-link day. I try not to love-bomb you, but for my kids, this is EXACTLY what Papa used to sound like back before arthritis set in.

The fact that it is a Mario Bros theme is just a bonus.
