Weird But Awesome Stuff on a Lazy Saturday

Don’t have much to write about today, so I thought I’d share this funky music video that Alyssa found on the Internet. It’s a mash-up of different tunes, produced by a company called Ithaca Audio. Enjoy, I know I did.

We Will Make the Daffy Duck Metal

I have no idea where this Daffy Duck cartoon came from, but it’s phenomenal! I found it over on Topless Robot. I suppose it could be an epic ad for some new Looney Tunes cartoon, and if it is, then it’s brilliant. It’s a badass metal song about Daffy Duck the wizard, with fire and dragons and an elevator. This is why I created this blog. To share such things with you.

My 6 Favorite Disney Songs

What’s not to love about Disney songs? They’re an entire genre of music all on their own. There’s a reason why Disney became the powerhouse it is, because they make really good movies, at least when it comes to cartoons. Who doesn’t love the marathon awesomeness that was Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas and the Hunchback of Notre Dame in the early to mid-90s? And then Pixar, wow. Is there any greater movie-maker than Pixar these days?

For a fun list idea, I decided to show you all My 6 Favorite Disney Songs. This is Music Week, after all.

Play Mickey, play

Back in Middle School choir, all we sang were Disney songs. The popular ones too. I remember learning the songs to The Lion King specifically. I’m sure we learned some others. Then we’d all stand up on those green metal risers and sing for our parents on show night. It was fun at that age to learn the lyrics to the movie.

Feel free to sing along.

My Favorite Song, and Other Really Awesome Tunes

Most people will tell you that they don’t have only one favorite song. They will name off artists, albums, genres or maybe their favorite song right now. Not me though. I have one favorite song, and I’ve had this favorite song since it debuted in high school in 1999. It will probably always be my favorite song. I love the tune, I love the chorus, I love the lyrics; it’s a song that really speaks to me and defines my mindset. Or maybe it’s just a really catchy song. That’s the thing about me, I don’t know that much about music.

My favorite song is ‘The Great Beyond’ by R.E.M.

Great song, right?

I am geeky about a great many things. I love comic books and video games. I’m a huge fan of TV, movies and books. But the one medium I’ve never really been geeky about is music. I never wanted to be a rockstar when I grew up. I don’t know anything about the history of music. I can’t speak intelligently about the great movements or artists. I’ve heard of Elvis, The Beatles and Frank Sinatra, but I could barely tell you anything about them. I’d only heard of contemporary artists like Lady Gaga or Amy Winehouse when they started making news about their weird behavior.

I don’t know music, but I know what I like.

In celebration of sheer randomness on the Internet, here is a sketch comedy group called Ninja Sex Party. They have some pretty funny songs on Youtube, and here’s one I found today that’s pretty awesome.
