Web Watch loves good music video parodies – especially ones that have a message.
Here’s one song that an online commenter had this to say:
FINALLY! A SONG ABOUT BEING GAY and…desiring love…WITHOUT IT SOUNDING LIKE crap.

Web Watch is certain we’ve written aboutHOW TO MAKE THE ULTIMATE ROADTRIP MIXTAPEpreviously, but needless to say, if it’s our archive of thousands of links we’ve covered over the years, that posting is sadly lost. (If it ever turns up, we’ll be sure to link it from here – you know, just for closure.)
Besides, if true, it wouldn’t be the first time we’ve written about a particular website more than once in the annals of Web Watch history.
Web Watch knows it’s hot out there.
You’re hot. We’re hot. It’s walking on the sun, hot.
So what better way to cool off than to start planning your Christmas holiday light display?
Do you – or someone you know – suffer from SYNESTHESIA?
That’s the neurological condition where someone experiences one sense at the same time (or in place of) experiencing it in the traditional way.
One of Web Watch’s friends has this condition, and when they hear specific words, they also end up visualizing that word in front of them at the same time. Some people see colors by smell, or can hear what tree bark sounds like by touching it.
Look, we know that the above isn’t the best explanation about what’s going on in some people’s heads, but the point is that some people just are better at visualizing things in a manner that the rest of us could just never understand.
Sometimes it takes a little time for proper parodies to make it out into the mainstream.
Today, Web Watch presents some of the more creative takes on GOTYE’s SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW music video. Enjoy.
By now you’ve probably heard about that NPR intern who claims to have over 11,000 songs in her music library, but only paid for 15 CDs in her life.
Remember CRACKER? What a great opportunity for someone in the music industry to write an open letter to that intern, right?
That’s exactly what DAVID LOWERY did.
Web Watch has mentioned Matt Harding before – he’s the guy who struck upon the absolutely perfect “job”, if you want to call it that, of traveling around the world and dancing.
And not just good dancing.
We’re talking really bad dancing.
And he’s been able to turn this hobby into a paying career of travel, music, Internet viral videos, and just bringing a little bit of joy and happiness to everyone he meets.
It’s a world-trotting flash mob.
Over the past few years, Web Watch has covered all sorts of information about what makes a pop song a hit.
We’ve talked about how you ONLY NEED FOUR CHORDS TO WRITE THE PERFECT POP SONG, how the KEY OF A SONG CAN PREDICT ITS POPULARITY, that MOST POP SONGS ARE ABOUT SEX, and even what the PERFECT SONG LENGTH should be for a hit song.
But now we have some science to thank for proving that everything Web Watch has told you in the past is absolutely true. See? It pays to read Web Watch and be on the cutting edge of everything!
