I thought I’d share some sweet videos I’ve favourited on Youtube.
Neil Patrick Harris is the SHOE FAIRY. Fuck yeah.
Just like all the other movies from your youth you figured that if you watched Little Shop of Horrors again you’d ruin it because it wouldn’t be as good as your remembered right? If this one song is anything to go by I think that hypothesis is wrong!
500 Days of Summer wasn’t too awful, I guess. I mean Joseph Gordon-Levitt starred in it and I’ve loved him since I first saw 3rd Rock from the Sun. But this trailer looks like it’d make a much better movie!
Almost…apart from the fact I’m lazy and inflexible and too old.
Best to leave it to the pros, like these Royal NZ Ballet dancers who performed this amazing tribute to Lady Gaga after just 12 hours of rehearsal time. <3
I wanted to include this advert in yesterday’s Pick N Mix but couldn’t find it online anywhere. It has shown up on NZ TV recently after big changes made by one of our major chocolate manufacturers. Cadbury has moved production to Australia, reduced the size of their blocks of chocolate, reduced the amount of cocoa solids in the chocolate and added palm oil to their recipe (which not only negatively affects the taste of the chocolate but also contributes to deforestation in Indonesia).
Whittakers’ is taking a well deserved dig at them here. I think without even trying Whittakers’ has just taken a large chunk of Cadbury’s consumer base, Cadbury basically handed it to them on a platter.
A theme song for many (if not most) females. And I don’t think that’s a good thing at all. That said, I can’t help but love Lily’s hair.
The Fear – Lily Allen
If you can’t see the video it’s been sucked out by your reader, click through to the site to view it :] Lyrics
I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don’t care about clever I don’t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them
I’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
‘Cuz everyone knows that’s how you get famous
I’ll look at the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track yeah I’m on to a winner
Chorus
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When we think it will all become clear
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by The Fear
Life’s about film stars and less about mothers
It’s all about fast cars and passing each other
But it doesn’t matter cause I’m packing plastic
and that’s what makes my life so fucking fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
and its not my fault it’s how I’m program to function
I’ll look at the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track yeah I’m on to a winner
Chorus
Bridge
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I’m killing them all on my own little mission
Now I’m not a saint but I’m not a sinner
Now everything is cool as long as I’m getting thinner
One of my defining characteristics is my constant search for truth. I’m known at work for constantly checking things with Google.
If we receive a group forward that seems dubious my colleagues just say “Kim will find out if it’s real”. And I will. It doesn’t matter how long it takes. I’m determined!
I demonstrated this will power again yesterday when I wanted to find a song. I’ve previously spent hours looking for a music video when all I knew about it was that it was dance-y/techno-y and had two people dancing across a basketball court. I found it after a few hours of searching.
This time I knew the tune of the song, I thought it sounded like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and I took at a guess at remembering some of the lyrics. The first and last time I heard this song was 5 days ago. I’ve never been a big fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers so the task seemed pretty big.
I thought the lyrics were ‘all I wanted was someone to…’. Google kept telling me the lyrics belonged to a group called Hidden In Plain View who are no longer together and don’t seem to exist on the internet apart from some lyrics and a Wikipedia entry. I was still pretty sure it was the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony’s voice is pretty distinctive.
Many many searches, reading of lyrics, and watching of YouTube videos later I decided to listen to the 30 second clips of the hundred or so RHCP songs in the iTunes store. The song I was looking for didn’t have the chorus as part of its clip but I recognised the tune enough when I heard it to look up the lyrics and hope I’d found the right one. I squealed and ran to tell the boy when I realised I had found it!
The song is Hard To Concentrate from the album Stadium Arcadium. The lyric I thought I knew was “all I want is for you to be happy”.
I just spent the last 4 hours searching online for this video (literally). I had time to kill and was on the computer so decided to try to find a video I remembered I like the one time I saw it at the bowling alley one and a half months ago. I couldn’t remember the name of the song, and of the words, the tune, the artist, all I could remember was a girl with her leg over the guys shoulder and they were dancing on a basketball court (or something similar). I new it was a Ministry of Sound type song and as that is not my usual genre of choice I really didn’t know where to start.
I don’t know how I did it but 4 hours and a lot of youtube, lastfm, azureus and google searching later I found it!
David Guetta – Love Don’t Let Me Go (version 2)
I mostly just love the first and last 40 seconds. Unfortunately the video doesn’t look nearly as good on youtube with sound coming out of the laptop as it did on a huge crystal clear screen.
I quite like this song too…
David Guetta – Love is Gone
These are both so different to my usual choices of music.
I’m currently debating whether a laptop would be a better idea for me rather than upgrading my brick of a computer. And then I could get a wireless router and be constantly connected while lounging in my bed :]
Just a quick post of a couple of my favourite videos
