Not new, but worth sharing

A few weeks ago I had the song ‘I Know Him So Well’ from the musical Chess stuck in my head so I went to the good ol’ YouTube to satisfy my need to hear it. In doing so, I found this video parody starring Susan Boyle and Peter Kay:

Can I just say perfect parody is perfect? Everything is spot on in this from the hair, to the sets, to the little bits of visual comedy thrown in. If you’re not familiar with Chess, the music was written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA so there was plenty of popular interest in the show. As such, several of the songs had music videos created for them and had success on the pop charts. You can view the original video for this song here to compare it to the parody. Seriously, everything is captured and parodied perfectly.

One song in particular from the show can still be heard fairly often on the radio (well, I guess I have no basis to say it’s played often. I very rarely listen to the radio but I’ve heard it played at work at least once):

Oh, eighties.

BTW, the actor performing the song is Murray Head. You know, original Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar and Anthony Stewart Head‘s brother? Damn, that’s a talented family.

Supernatural’s Jared and Gen Padalecki in Awesome Music Video

Most of you on Tumblr already know of this awesome music video, but I thought I’d share it here for those of you unfortunate enough not to see it. This is a song called “I Am Human” by the Brian Buckley Band and aside from being an awesome, heart-wrenching song, it also features Jared Padalecki and his beautiful wife Genevieve (Cortese) Padalecki, both of Supernatural fame.

Check it out!

WOO HOO!

I love you, BTR.

Web Crush Wednesdays: The Cooler Steve Martin

It’s Web Crush Wednesday, party people! Let’s take a look at the latest Web Crush!

Okay, let me be honest, I hate LMFAO. I don’t think they are very talented. They are catchy and fun, I guess, but talented? No. There are many pop artists like this that I simply do not care for, but then something happens, something that makes me change my opinion of a song, and causes me to embarrassingly sing along to a song that I once professed to hate. What brings me to this lowly state? Parodies of songs, or to be very honest, nerd parodies of songs. Without fail, if you take a song I hate and relate it to something nerdy, I’m suddenly a silly screaming fangirl, which brings me to my latest Web Crush. Ladies and gentleman—Mr. Steve Martin!

No! Not that one, you idiot! The Cooler Steve Martin! What do you mean you don’t believe me? Just check this guy out!

Cool, right? Ha! I thought so! This video has everything a nerd could ask for looting, minecraft, wizards, comic book references, the Force, big guns (“I call it Vera.“), and to put it quite simply, nerds doing awesome nerd things. Steve also got rid of the annoying part in the original song where they just say the word “wiggle” over and over. Seriously, LMFAO, what the fuck?! It’s replaced by the much more hilarious “study, study, study, study, study, yeah!”  It also has zombies. I love zombies!

I would also recommend that Steve nerdify: Fell in Love in a Hopeless Place, Love You Like a Love Song, and The One That Got Away. Those all need nerdified immediately… because they suck.

So check out, like, and subscribe to The Cooler Steve Martin‘s latest video and check out his vlog too!

Web Crush Wednesdays: Not Literally

This week’s Web Crush goes to the girls from Not Literally for their awesome Harry Potter videos! Let’s take a look!

Though I can already hear MadameAce yelling about stereotyping Hufflepuffs… I love all the Slytherin stuff that they have put up so far so… yeah, my Web Crush, my rules. I will say for those of you who get really annoyed by stereotyping the Hogwarts Houses, you probably won’t like these, but hey it’s supposed to be funny and really the Ask Hogwarts episodes are hilarious!

But wait! That’s not all! There are also awesome Harry Potter themed music videos.

Well, there you have it. I hope you enjoyed this week’s Web Crush and check out more from Not Literally.
