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:
THE ORIGINAL
BABY GOT BACK, done in the style of GILBERT AND SULLIVAN (Pirates of Penzance version)
JONATHAN COULTON sings BABY GOT BACK live

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.

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.
Here is an example:
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?
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:
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?
You may not know the name Judson Laipply, but you’d recognize his ORANGE CRUSH t-shirt and crazy dance moves from being one of The Most Watched YouTube Videos EVER, a little ditty called THE EVOLUTION OF DANCE. Let’s take a look, shall we?
I don’t know if you saw the announcement, but Judson has released THE EVOLUTION OF DANCE 2, with all new songs and new dances. I personally don’t find it as fresh as the original one was, but I applaud the addition of some moves that deserved to be in the first version.
