Kids Incorporated Mondays: Twistin' The Night Away

This is nothing more than an all out assault on the legendary Sam Cooke's "Twistin' The Night Away". Ryan Lambert is the lead offender but those insanely peppy backups certainly aren't helping anything. There's only four comments on youtube, so the pickings are a bit slim, but fortunately for us the people that comment on Kids Incorporated videos are the cream of the crop.

jimmypi - Okay so I know that the older guy in the audience was a friend of the cast and crew, but it still freaks me out that he's there...

QBCNetwork - Ryan Lambert's the coolest Southpaw guitarist.

stargate109 - never used the word "gay" like in original.,But that's fine as the meaning has changed.

mshearer1 - lol..ummm...Jimi Hendrix?

As with most Kids Inc videos, it all comes back to Jimi Hendrix.  Don't you ever change internet.

World's Greatest Drummer Rocks Like Nobody's Business

I first saw this video of the world's greatest drummer sometime last week but I don't remember where so you'll have to forgive me vengeful story crediting gods. Either way I am pretty sure WGD here is using this insanely wonderful video as some sort of super reel to try and get an audition for Guns N Roses or something. At the very least he's trying to catch Hubert Lewis' attention for a possible late addition to the News.

If you think this is normal you clearly haven't gotten to the one minute mark yet, that's when the real fireworks start. Also those really are some sharp dressed men.   [via everywhere]

Friday's Foreign Covers: Love Really Hurts Without You

Prepare to have yourself adequately rocked. This week we've got a special gift coming straight to you from Spain, where amazing dancer Marin made this incredibly fancy video for his own take on the tune "Love Really Hurts Without You" made famous by the indelible Billy Ocean. I feel I should warn you, Marin spared no expense in the production of this video, or maybe he did, I'm not sure. Happy Friday.

Kids Incorporated Mondays: Every Little Step

As is the case whenever Bobby Brown is involved, there's a lot of controversy with this version of Every Little Step by the Kids Incorporated gang. Of course this isn't your normal criminal controversy, unless we are counting the criminally insane. Take it away youtubers:

Nitingale78 - 4 I love JLH's voice! So powerful even then. I remember I was so entranced by this little girl singing when she first started in this show. Now, I'm a huge fan of hers.

lskylimper - I am so glad that Jennifer Love Hewitt can act, she needs a voice coach... Disney could do so much with this show now, Hey they got Mini Mouse singing Hanna Montana songs and Goofy singing Queen's Another One Bites the dust... Camp Rock could have been about Kids Inc and Hanna Montana could of been one of the girls not wanting to have a abnormal childhood.

Tygrfawn78 - This was the last song of the season? Really? And Stacy didn't sing? That doesn't make sense. I'd figure that they would utilize her as much as possible if it was. But then, did everyone know that Stacy wasn't coming back? Or did everyone figure there'd be another season right after this? You know, like MMC, how the kids had no clue that the producers were ending the show until the end. How do you know? Do you know these guys personally? I'm not challenging, just curious.

jimmypi - I still can't get over the fact that this was the last song of the season and Stacy didn't sing it.

Oh how I love you interwebs. 

Friday's Foreign Covers: Psycho Killer

The best I can tell is this awesome version of Psycho Killer by cover band Rocks Roll comes to us via Brazil, although I could be wrong. It seems like their site is in Portuguese and they have the .br at the end of their url but I'm no scientist, although the amazing synchronized swaying certainly looks scientific to me. Hot damn that's fancy. Unfortunately this one finishes prematurely. That's what she said. 

Vote Dale Peterson For Alabama Ag Commish ... Or Else

I try not to purposely align myself with any Republicans, but damn if Dale Peterson doesn't make one hell of a case for their nomination in the Alabama Agriculutral Comissioner race. He's like a comical stereotype of everything I think about politicians in Alabama, aside from the Facebook reference. Either way I know a gun, referencing Vietnam and illegals, and a hurried voice can get you a long way in Alabama.  I'm not a scientist but I'm pretty sure if Dale "Dr Doom" Peterson added a mullet to the equation he could start thinking governor.  [via warming glow]

Kids Incorporated Mondays: Don't Fight It

Here we have Martika rocking some Kenny Loggins in the form of "Don't Fight It". Nothing all that special aside from some commenting on her hair.

216rules All that movement by Martika and barely a few hairs out of place. It amazes me.

jimmypi It was the 80s... hairspray was big. lol

216rules how true

My thoughts exactly, although like most everything in the world it needs more Steve Perry.

Farm Yoga With A Rasta Rooster, Cow, And Pedophile

There's so much wrong going on in this video it almost feels right. Then you see creepy old yoga master enjoying his hugs just a bit too much, and it all spirals downhill, granted the rasta rooster is still pretty amazing.  Pedophilia aside this workout looks pretty killer, it might even be able to steal some non believers from Christoga.   [via warming glow]

Friday's Foreign Covers: Deacon Blues

The world of cover band naming is a pretty fascinating one. The main project I'm working on right now is Your Mom, but that doesn't make me any less impressed with my new favorite Japanese cover band Steely Shodan. Hopefully you were able to realize that is a Steely Dan cover band, if not you might want to eat some Benihana or something. Either way they are super hella awesome, and here we have them rocking out Deacon Blues.

Also keytar.  Happy Friday.

Awesome Stuff: Shark Sleeping Bag

Dear Tony Danza (aka Santa Claus),

I'm trying to be a very good boy this year because I found something I really want, this intoxicatingly awesome ChumBuddy shark sleeping bag. Even though you are all-knowing I'm still going to link you to the site where I found this because that lovely lady is doing the lord's work, which I know in turn is actually your work. As I write this letter I am donating things to charity, building houses for the poor, and reuniting long lost relatives. Hopefully this is enough to get me a ChumBuddy because I don't want to keep wasting my time doing stuff like that if it isn't.

Your bestest buddy,

Phletch

 

Here's the official description:

It's a sleeping bag! It's a stuffed toy! IT'S A SHARK! In an effort to make sharks (a very misunderstood animal that also happens to be one of my favorites) more cuddly, I designed and produced a prototype for the ChumBuddy. This 7 foot monster plush was 100% hand sewn (sewing machines hate me) from fleece and felt & contains about 30 lbs of poly-fill. 

Est Ship Date: 4th Q, 2010

It says the thing is 7 feet tall, and doesn't ship internationally. It also notes that the ChumBuddy doesn't ship to Alaska or Hawaii, but I'm pretty sure that's because it just swims there!  Woo hoo, I'm hot today. That's a world class old person zinger.   [via the daily what via patch together]
