Video Fun: Wedding Reception Dances

We’ve all been to interesting weddings.

Some I’ve attended were memorable due to the groomsmen (they were all in a band together), the catering decorations (the official photographer was taking pictures of all the wedding guests licking the ice sculpture over the course of the evening), or the bride sharing with everyone about the types of tranquilizers she was on that day.  I even have a tale to tell about what songs NOT to play at a wedding reception, but that’s a different story for a different day.

For now, take a gander at what these wedding receptions were like.  They all seem like fun, don’t they?

I think what we can take away from this is that what you think is an original idea may already have been done. So if you’re thinking of doing a fun dance at the reception, try to be a bit original.

BRIDE AND GROOM’S FIRST DANCE is BABY GOT BACK

Video Fun: Baby Got Back

Sir Mix-a-Lot’s BABY GOT BACK has inspired a few other people to make their own versions of the song, whether it be a remake of the song itself or a different take on the music video.

Take a look at what I’ve found:

Music: U2’s NO LINE ON THE HORIZON

Hopefully you’ve heard U2 on the Grammy Awards playing their new single, Get On Your Boots. 

Or maybe you’re watching U2 play on David Letterman this week.  In any event, Amazon has the entire album available for download for $3.99. Get it while it’s cheap.

This is what a song would sound like if the lyrics were a literal description of what was going on in the music video itself. You can find more of these over at LITERAL MUSIC VIDEOS.

Wikipedia Band Name / Album Generator

The latest meme to spread across the Internet is USING WIKIPEDIA TO NAME YOUR BAND’S FIRST ALBUM

It’s a three-part process as you discover the name of your band, the name of the album, and the album cover art.

  1. Click on Wikipedia’s “Display Random Page” link.  The page title that is displayed is the name of your band
  2. Go to Random Quotations and view a set of random quotes.  The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the name of your album.
  3. Visit Flickr’s list of uploads from the last 7 days. The third picture displayed is the picture to use on your album cover.

Here is an example:

SleeveFace

Here is a new use for your old record albums:  SLEEVEFACE.

All you have to do is take a picture of yourself holding a record album cover up to your head (or other, appropriate part of the body… although, since this site is called SleeveFACE, you would think that a focus on the face would be the way to go).

The goal in the photo is to mimic the body gesture, photo angle, and any significant clothing in the album cover to make the image on the album sleeve appear seamless with the person holding the album cover up.

This is just another example of a great idea for a website being made into a book topic.  Who said that the Internet was going to make books obsolete?

Game: Guess the Band

Here’s another game you can play on long road trips:  GUESS THE BAND

All you have to do is rattle off the names of people in the band, and have people guess.  The first person to guess correctly gets a point.  This one should only be played by people who really are into their music and claim to know their bands inside-and-out.

Let’s try some examples:

Game: Guess the CD

Here’s another game you can play with your friends on long road trips: GUESS THE CD.

Just rattle off the names of the songs on the CD (in any order you choose, preferably from obscure to common).  The first person to guess the name and artist of the CD wins a point.

Let’s try it, shall we?
