THUNDER BUSTERS - AC/DC VS GHOSTBUSTERS MASHUP

Mashups were huge last year, but they've somewhat faded away at this point. I'm a big fan of them because I have very little attention span, so people like Girl Talk really help to hold my focus by switching songs constantly. This is one of the few full length mashups though that I wouldn't dream of tuning out. It could be the greatest of all time. Wax Audio took Thundstruck, mixed in some Ghostbusters, and created something 100% awesome.

EMINEM FEAT. LIL WAYNE - NO LOVE OFFICIAL VIDEO

Eminem dropped his new video, No Love, featuring Lil Wayne today. It's definitely one of the best songs off the album so I'm glad it finally has a video. Even more badass is the fact that Weezy is actually in the video. As you are probably aware, he's currently in jail. I am positive that he's still locked up because according to facebook, I'll be attending his release party on November 4th. The video is predictable but solid. Em's verse has to be one of the greatest verses in recent history. His part of Drake's Forever was hot, but this just killed it. That's just me though.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY ON SLIDE WHISTLES

Quick, name a classically awesome song involving a video and Wayne's World. Yep, you got it. It's Bohemian Rhapsody. Ever wonder what if would have sounded like using slide whistles and kazoos? No, neither did I. Thanks to Mystery Guitar Man though, I now know, and it's sweet.

THE LEO STRUT SONG/DANCE

I don't use this phrase lightly but, "Best. Song. Ever." Yeah that's right. The Leo Strut song is sure to start swiffering the nation immediately. Not since Bangs - Take U To Da Movies has there been a song/video that is this amazing. It really takes the Strutting Leo meme to a whole new lever of greatness. "Put your elbow up tight, take a step with the right. Tilt your head to the side, smile real real wide. Leo Strut." This makes doing the Soulja Boy look like childs' play.

CLIMBING TO THE TOP OF A 1800 FT ANTENNA TOWER (FAST FORWARD)

I saw this video and immediately thought it was pretty badass. These technicians have to climb to the top of broadcast towers that are almost 1800 feet high(actual climbing takes place on the highest 200 feet from what I can deduce). Most of the time they are simply freeclimbing because it's significantly faster and takes less energy than constantly having to attach and detach your clip to the structure. It takes so long that I was actually bored watching the video of it even though it's pretty cool. Thankfully for you, I put it is fast forward and set it to music so you don't have to listen to him blather on and on about how tough their lives are. My apologizes for the watermark, I used the evaluation version of a program. Be sure to adjust to video to 720p, I don't know why youtube insists on embedding in lower quality.

Song is Roman History by Pet Lions

THESE GIRLS DON'T UNDERSTAND HANDJOBS

It's not all that often that you get a rap song about handjobs. It's just not really a topic that warrants any discussion. These two lovely ladies, Riki "Garfunkel" Lindhome and Kate "Oates" Micucci, are fully willing to admit though that they don't know what they are doing. The more impressive thing than there full disclosure is the absurd number of intelligent references in the song. It's gotta be one of the smartest rap songs ever written. They are like two less feminine versions of Bo Burnham. Knowing some of you, I'll bet a lot of this goes right over your head.

PET LIONS - STUCK AT THE BOTTOM FAN-MADE VIDEO

If you don't know about the Pet Lions, you should. They're a Chicago band jammin' out some great power-pop/indie-rock/I-have-no-idea-how-to-classify music. In any case, they're good. They're EP is free on their website if you want to taste the greatness (petlions.com). They are now onto working on their first full length album right now(again, check the site for details) and I have a feeling it's going to be damn good.




While surfing the youtube, I happened to notice this trippy video made for one of their other songs and figured I'd share it as well.

NICE PETER - 50 CENT IS A PUSSY

I could have sworn I posted this video a long time ago, but I checked when it randomly popped into my head this morning, and I couldn't find it anywhere. Even if it is a repost, it's a good enough song to warrant a double post.  It's not too often you hear a song talking shit about 50 Cent by anyone other than a professional rapper.  It elicited some great comments on youtube, so I included a video of him discussing some of them for you as well.

BLOODHOUND GANG - MOPE

Writing the post before this made the word "boobies" pop into my head. Yes, I am a still mentally a child and am still entertained by the word "boobies".  That led me to remember the album Hooray for Boobies by the Bloodhound Gang.  I always loved their song "Mope" because it's hook is "Rock me Amadeus" by Falco.

PAUL McCARTNEY'S ORIGINAL DEMO OF BLACKBIRD WAS LOCATED BY JON LAJOIE

As with any good song, it goes through several iterations before discovering the ideal combination of lyrics and melody. Very rarely though do you get to hear an original version before the kinks are worked out. Well, here is your chance...the original version of Blackbird by the Beatles.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ROOSEVELTS BABY

I am a big fan of turning a commercial into a song, or the other way around, I don't know. The McDonalds McNugget R&B song and the Filet of Fish certainly made me want to go out to McDonalds. Don't even get me started on the SlapChap Remix. Needless to say, they work on me. Taco Bell recently got into the game with It's All About the Roosevelts. "Paper money's out; silver's our new green."  See you at T-Bell.

RUCKA RUCKA ALI'S GOT JOKES

Racist? Perhaps. Hilarious? Absolutely.

AXIS OF AWESOME - TITTY BAR

There aren't nearly enough songs written about titty bars. Thankfully the Axis of Awesome took it upon themselves to do just that.

KELE OKEREKE - TENDERONI

I'm not sure why The Skinny has suddenly turned into a music blog, but just roll with it. I'm sure it's temporary given my fickle nature.  Something about nice weather and new music is just working for me right now though, and you're going to have to deal with it. This song is the first single from Kele Okereke's (Bloc Party) new solo project. It's also the second song in the past week named Tenderoni that I've discovered. Something's going on here, and I want to be a part of it.

DUB FX - FUTURE AND NOT COOL VIDEO

There are very few times that I actually care enough about a band or musician that I actually recommend that people check them out. The first is Pet Lions, who are credited with brining me back to pop/rock from my long time allegiance solely to hip hop.  Their sound is addictive and awesome; I had no choice but to return to my roots.  The second is Dub FX. I just recently discovered him a month or so ago, but have been obsessed since. He began as a street performer and recently recorded his first studio album. He makes all of his songs with a loop machine, effect pedals, and his voice. Pretty impressive if you ask me. Unlike Reggie Watts, who uses a similar process, Dub FX actually makes great songs, not just humorous ramblings. Most of his songs have a lot of level 2 thinking and deeper meaning to them. The best part is, while they are legit and meaningful songs, they are incredibly entertaining and fun to listen to. This is the first non-street performance video I've come across, and I'm pretty sure it's fan made. It combines two of his songs, Future and Not Cool. I think once fans are making videos for you, that's when you've officially made it.  Check him out at http://dubfx.net/





Here's one of his live performances. It really gives you a sense of the process.

REGGIE WATTS - FUCK SHIT STACK LYRICS

I've noticed recently that quite a few people have been ending up on the post of Reggie Watt's song Fuck Shit Stack by searching for the lyrics. This must result in a huge disappointment when they get here only to find there are actually no lyrics transcribed. Well, I've decided to remedy that(with my favorite lines highlighted). Plus, it gives me another reason to post the video for one of the best songs in recent history. Watts is the epitome of motherfuckin' lyrical wordsmith motherfuckin genius.






Yo, Uh. Word. Adjective. Pronoun. Adverb.
Run on and on and on.
Where my gerunds at?
Parenthetical, uh.

Shit motherfucker ass tits cunt cock motherfucker shit ass tits motherfucker shit

You take some shit, put it up on the wall, check it out for a while.
You take that shit up off of the wall, put it down on the floor in a glass bowl.
You take some fuck, put it up on the wall where the shit used to be.
You take that fuck up off of the wall, put it down on the floor
with the shit in a glass bowl
What? Yo, here's another little piece of advice-vice

You take some fuck then some shit
then some fuck then some shit
You've got a fuck-shit stack
A fuck-shit stack

Take some fuck then some shit
then some fuck then some shit
You've got a fuck-shit stack
A fuck-shit stack

It's a stack of fuck-shit on top of itself, nigga

I make references to weaponry
Ancient or new
I wear bullet-proof vests for no apparent reason
other than to create a false sense of importance
of which I could never retain on my own.
I like to create a buffer memory of incredulity
So y'all motherfuckers could never get near to me.

I'm a cartoon character.
You'll never be able to be like me! (me me)

I like women
I like women
I like the concept of a woman
I like to take that concept and reduce it to an object
I like to take those objects and put 'em in my videos
Have them shake they jiggly bits so they looks like hoes

I like to take some car polish, smear it all over they asses
and buff that shit out so it looks like fresh peaches and shit.
I like to take some more of that car polish and smear it all over they tits
and buff that shit out so it looks all sparkly, like diamond necklaces and shit.

Why?

Cuz I'm a lady's man
a lady's man
a la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lady's man

I'm a materialist.
I'm a materialist.
I'll take a piece-of-shit car and I'll lower the motherfuckah;
Put some 18-inch rims on the motherfuckah;
Take some neon, put it underneath the motherfuckah
so when I roll around this town it looks like a hover (hover hover)

I like to take a flat-panel display monitor,
put one on the steering column,
one inside of the glovebox,
one on top of the dashboard,
two in back of the headrests,
one mounted in the ceiling,
two still in the motherfucking packaging, on the back seat
so when my motherfucking friends go and sit on the shit and break it (word?)
I can honestly say:

I. Just. Don't. Give. A. Fuck.

You take some fuck then some shit
then some fuck then some shit
You've got a fuck-shit stack
A fuck-shit stack

Take some fuck then some shit
then some fuck then some shit
You've got a fuck-shit stack
A fuck-shit stack

Take some fuck then some shit
then some fuck then some shit
You've got a fuck-shit stack
A fuck-shit stack

Take some fuck then some shit
then some fuck then some shit
You've got a fuck-shit stack
A fuck-shit stack

It's a stack of fuck-shit on top of itself, nigga

Yo, where my girls at?
Where my girls at?
Where my grills at?
Where my grills at?

Where my girls at?
Where my girls at?
Where my grills at?
Where my grills at?
(Where is they?)

Fuck shit, fuck shit,
Fuck shit, fuck shit

Fuck shit, fuck shit,
Fuck shit, fuck shit
