A video that has everything -- Ghetto Superstar

Talk about a video that has absolutely everything... Warren Beatty turns into Pras from the Fugees, Mya sings the chorus to the tune of Islands in the Stream and Ol' Dirty Bastard steals the show as he usually did. Oh, and the song is danged catchy! Especially listen for ODB's relentless off-key wailing... hilarious!

Rainn Wilson = Bob Dylan?

Rainn Wilson goofs on an audition for a spot as one of the faces of Dylan from "I'm Not There" With director Todd Haynes...

Follow Ronald McDonald through the apple pie trees!

I can't imagine why McDonalds' ads don't look like they did in the 1970s. I for one would love to grow a hamburger patch in my yard...

Kermit Supply...

A man uses a Kermit the Frog puppet to interpret Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing At All." It's funny, yet creepy all at the same time!

On the other hand...

This is a song I can dig and that I am glad the trusty Lucy station on XM reminded me of. I'll never be a huge Screaming Trees fan, but anyone that grew up in the golden age of alternative radio can't help but sing along to the chorus on this jam...

Popular? But why was it so popular?

I was recently reminded of the song "Popular" by Nada Surf which was a pretty big hit in 1996. I understand the quaintness and the gimmick of the spoken word "Teenage Guide to Popularity," but I still can't get my head around how this was a radio hit...

Dan Abrams calls out lapel pin hipocrisy on live TV...

Barack Obama gets called out by this fellow, Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Georgia) for being unpatriotic for not wearing an American Flag lapel pin. So, what does Kingston do? He shows up on Dan Abrams' show not wearing a pin either. Enjoy the hilarity that ensues!
