I’m a musician who plays all the parts of the songs I record, and I decided I wanted to put one of my songs on youtube. So I figured I’d make a little artwork with the name of the song on it just so there would be a static image on the screen to go along with the song.
At the last minute, I remembered that I had some nature footage I’d shot in the summertime and I wondered if any of it would fit into the song. “I’ll just spend a few extra minutes,” I told myself. Nine days later, I was finished!
I ran out of my own footage quickly enough and then scanned the Internet for free or public domain footage that I could use in my video. As I searched and worked, a definite story unfolded and slowly revealed itself to me. Each and every one of the cuts in this video moves and changes in tandem with the music, which was no small feat! When I watch the video now, it’s hard to believe that my original intentions were so simple.
One of the youtube comments said that it reminded them of Koyaanisqatsi. I had no idea what this was, so I looked it up and watched it. I certainly wasn’t trying to be derivative, but I can see the connection.
Now if anyone enjoys this video and decides to check out any of the other 28 videos on my channel, expecting a bit of inspiration and intelligence, I will have to apologize in advance!
It’s pretty easy to get very tired of Christmas songs by the time Christmas rolls around. I mean, how many freaking times can one listen to Silent Night? Uh, no offense to Anyone who might be listening….
There is a reason why you hear Christmas songs endlessly in every store from mid-November until New Years: People spend more money when they hear them! It’s a proven fact. That is why you are going to continue to hear Christmas songs in every public place you visit for at least 6 weeks a year. Merry Christmas, I guess.
Below are the 10 funniest Christmas songs, in our humble opinion, anyway. These are ones you probably don’t hear every time you walk into a Walmart. Thank God.
#10. I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas!
This classic will be remembered by people in their 50s and older. It was written by John Rox and was sung by a 10 year-old named Gayla Peevey in 1953. It actually made it to #24 on Billboard’s pop charts in 1953.
Other people who sang a version of this amusing tune were the 3 Stooges, and also Dr. Demento.
What can go wrong with a Christmas song about massaging a ‘hippo hero’? Works for us.
Quitting smoking? Fear not, it’s easy – I’ve done it lots of times.
No, seriously, I’m such an advocate of quitting smoking that I made this video that may or may not inspire you to do the same!
The patch, the gum, the Zyban, or any of that other crap is OUT. Cold Turkey baby! It’s the best way, because trust me, then and only then do you really experience yourself quitting and then actually adapt to it. You build more willpower in those first few days of cold turkey than you ever will by easing off “painlessly.” Oh yeah, and of course, if you’re on the patch and then cheat by smoking, you could actually have a heart attack – COLD TURKEY BABY!
But some people experience some not so pleasant things: constipation, insomnia, irritability, crying for no reason among other wonderful withdrawal symptoms – not fun. But hey – they fade – and pretty quickly too.
So go ahead, check out my music video on quitting the habit! You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll want to join the leagues of born again anti-smokers who just can’t bear to be in the same room with a smoker and take pleasure in feeling superior and indignant to the offenders!
What do you get when you cross the Death Star from Star Wars with a jigsaw puzzle? If your answer is “the Wikipedia logo,” you either made these pictures or you have a really wicked way of thinking.
A creative anonymous artist made fun illustrations by observing that if you combine different objects, you can get some of the well known logos of products or companies.
He’s been in more movies than all of the other actors in Hollywood combined. His demo reel stretches around the globe seven times. He has been scientifically proven to produce the greatest volume of laughter per cubic foot in the history of comedy. I’m talking about none other than Jack Black, and all of the above is true.
