Where is the invisible tree that this fell off of?

Tex Williams - Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette

Pete Berg — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:49:30 +0000

My latest song addiction is the 1947 Tex Williams hit, “Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette)”…I have been listening to this on loop all day. It’s so damn catchy! This is an anti-smoking song, but it’s not because they’re unhealthy (”I don’t reckon’ that they hinder your health”), it’s because smoking takes a long time and makes other people wait. But after listening to this chorus about a zillion times, holy crap, all I want to do is start smoking cigarettes!!

There are two performances here…the first one is one of the originals from the ’40s, but it’s a bit out of sync. The other one features an older Tex Williams a few decades later…but he’s still got it.

Nice work, kids.

Some good, some bad, but they’re so short, you can’t afford not to watch all twenty.

Eduard Khil the “Trololo” man sings 44 years after his famous song

One of the latest viral sensations is the known as “Trololo guy,” which I posted here on Pie Heaven a few weeks ago. Well, someone tracked down the Soviet singer 44 years later…his name is Eduard Khil and this was his signature song, and apparently a big hit in the USSR back in the ’60s.

The song’s translated title is “I’m very glad, because I’m going back home” and, according to Khil, is “in fact about an American who returns home through the prairies, and his beloved Mary waits for him at home and knits a woolen sock for him.”

Thank you, India. This is “The Diamond Maruti Car Circus in Delhi … These death defying bad boys drive a wonky Nissan all over your foolish health & safety regulation.”

“We Will Rock You”…by Microsoft Songsmith

Pete Berg — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 05:52:57 +0000

About a year ago, Microsoft came out with this software that take a capella vocal tracks and matches them up with “appropriate” and “fitting” instrumental back-up stock music that it automatically generates. The problem is, Songsmith usually gets the songs hilariously wrong, and just loves to bend genres. It’s like a new form of absurdist art.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this conga version of Queen’s hard rocking hit, “We Will Rock You.”

Lady GaGa’s new video is an epic 10 minute spaghetti western

Pete Berg — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:50:28 +0000

It is OUT OF CONTROL. The song is “Telephone,” which as you probably know is a pretty normal pop/dance club hit with admittedly stupid lyrics. But this music video does not reflect those lyrics at all. It’s straight up Tarantino. GaGa can do no wrong! (Thanks, Jeff)

If he can do it, then why can’t all these conservatives?
