Walt from 'Your Weekly Music Lesson with Walt!' on You Tube & Revision3 BETA has agreed to be in the 'Internet Dance 2' video I'm making. I'm still trying to get more people to agree to participate, but I've already got Jeff Cannata (Totally Rad Show), Gabe Bondoc (You Tube), the Elevator Show (You Tube), and more willing to be in the video. I just hope a lot of the people I'm asking don't think I'm doing this for money or anything like that. I've never had extra ads or anything on any of my sites, and I plan on keeping it that way. This blog is something I think is fun, and making this current video is sort of a tribute to the people I enjoy watching online while at the same time making it relevant to this blog. So for those already going to be in the video, thank you, and if I wasn't a fan of your work I wouldn't have asked you to be in the video.
Addams Family Theme
I'm a sucker for classic TV theme songs, so I had to post this.
Mr. Really Really Really Bad Dancer
This is an old Bud Light commercial, but it's my favorite of the "Real Men Of Genius" ad campaign.
Warren Zevon - Werewolves Of London
Not the greatest music video or song, but very appropriate for today.
Cubase SX3
paradigma AKA Nathan Wills gives us a look at what he uses to create music.

Making Music With Electricity & Your Face
I saw this on Rocketboom. I wonder how many bands are looking for a 'face' player?
Pop Waffle Vol. 23
I like my news with a little music & crafts.
Two Blokes, Two Ukes - The Monster Mash (ukulele cover)
You know I'm always on the lookout for a new ukulele fix. Thanks POPTUB.

Song Fu Winners: The Rifftones
Since we've been following the 2nd Song Fu challenge here at Spintown, I thought I'd mention that Bill Corbett, Mike Nelson, and Kevin Murphy — aka The RiffTones — have now been crowned the champion of Quick Stop’s “Masters of Song Fu” tournament. On to todays videos...
Super Note: Update #4
Rhett & Link give us another update on how the contest is going.
Free Credit Report Contest
I love the Free Credit Report commercials, so I hope there are other good entries to this contest.
JustKiddingFilms - Delicious Journey
Really funny music video featuring a couple really cool cats.
The YouTube Bunch
Basically a jacked up version of the Brady bunch theme featuring You Tubers like Zipster.
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
Vadrum
The first 3 videos are my favorite Vandrum clips, I sure hope he does more NES themes in the future. The last video is Nathan Wills doing a little dance, and then he gives us a sample of his music at the end.

Single Man dances to SINGLE LADIES
I tried to post this yesterday, but I was laughing too hard at the time. This dude is the funniest thing I've ever watched online, and he seems completely serious about everything.
David Choi - Pick It
The video is a little nasty, but Choi does a great job again at getting his fans involved in his music. Not a bad little diddy either.
AC/DC Rock N Roll Train
Have you ever wondered what an AC/DC music video would look like in Excel.....wonder no more.
Boogie Swing
Live music & swing dancing, 2 things that Spintown loves.

Featuring: Tommy Knox
I can't believe I hadn't heard of this guy before Saturday. I also can't believe he doesn't have more subscribers. In just 1 day he became one of my favorite You Tubers, and everyone that reads this needs to go check out his channel.
The Internet Love Story

Nerd Dance
I don't know if this was during a talent show, pep rally or what; but this nerd has moves.
Physical Education
This is a musical number from some TV movie or show called "Junior High School" made back in 1978.
Wonder Girls - Nobody
I should have linked to this long ago, but somehow I forgot to. Great music video.
Gabe Bondoc - Superhuman (original)
Gabe has uploaded a number a good original songs to You Tube lately. If he keeps it up David Choi may no longer be my favorite male You Tuber singer.
Friday, October 24, 2008
kingleg - Kazoo Quartet
Android Rap Song (G1 Love)
Not Data from Star Trek, but the Google Android...still a good video.
Attraction Blacklight Theatre
These guys get pretty creative with blacklights.
coomadoug - Taken for Granted (original)
Here's another original song from Doug...I would like his videos a lot more if he didn't feature those stupid dogs so much. Sort of weird, like the old lady that lives with 20 cats down the road.

Fantasy Football: The Rap
I just happened across this yesterday on You Tube. I'm currently 1 game over .500 in both of my fantasy football leagues right now, how are you doing?
Brian Bauer - Distortion!
Brookers linked to this on Twitter, and I thought it was a cool video.
Distortion!!! from Brian Bauer on Vimeo.
Of Montreal - Id Engager
I forget how I came across this video, I think it was featured on Epic Fu. Anyways it's a good song, with a creative video.
Jake and Amir @ CollegeHumor Live
Amir tries his hand at singing near the end of this live performance. I love this show, besides the Retarded Policeman it's probably my favorite show on the net.

Final Notes:
The final songs for the Song Fu challenge have been uploaded. I've been a big fan of The Rifftones during this competition, but their recent song for the final round disappointed me a bit. CLICK HERE FOR Love Theme from JAWS (When a Man Loves a Shark) If you've forgotten the rules for this last round of competition here's the jist.
...envision a world in which composer John Williams was never hired to write the now-iconic scores for the Lucas and Spielberg films of the 1970’s (JAWS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, 1941, and STAR WARS). Imagine instead that the filmmakers decided to go with that other staple of the 70’s - a tailor-made pop tune. Think THE POSEIDEN ADVENTURE’s “The Morning After”. You must choose one of those 1970’s Williams-scored Spielberg/Lucas flicks and write “The Song From…” that the film never had, in the style of a 1970’s pop tune (particularly in your instrumentation).
The song must be at least 1min 45sec, and must be an original creation.
To me Jason Morris saved his best for last, and this is probably the first round I wouldn't have voted for The Rifftones. CLICK HERE FOR Take Me Home (The Song from CLOSE ENCOUNTERS) If you want to vote for which song you like best go HERE.

How To Dance Sexy
Before we get to the videos I would like to mention that I'm working on a sequel to the "Internet Dance" video I made awhile back. This time I plan on featuring Internet celebrities & well known You Tubers though. So if anyone out there wants to be in the video just make a 5-10 sec video of yourself dancing, post it on You Tube & send me the link. On to the videos...
This first video may not be what you're expecting...just a warning.
Gabe Bondoc - YTS (original)
I really liked this song he uploaded yesterday. It's about falling in love with a You Tuber...I was thinking about Kina Grannis during most of the video.
Nicholas Barron Band - Saviour
Great song & performance.
Lois Mahalia - Smile
I don't think I've ever linked to this chick, but if I hear more songs like this you'll see more of her here.

Commodore 64 Orchestra
They need to do the same thing with music from the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)...it by far had my favorite music for a gaming system.
Pageant Moms Compilation
I hate beauty pageants, and pageant moms...funny video though.
The 80's Song
This brings back memories since I was an 80's kid.

Featuring: White Gold
This advertising campaign puts the "Got Milk" ads to shame. The first video isn't a music video, but tells you a bit of who White Gold is. The next 3 videos are all music videos...and they are internet gold.

A Short Love Story In Stop Motion
This is a wonderful stop motion animation by Carlos Lascano with a top notch soundtrack as well.

Shawshank In A Minute
Jib Jab takes a classic movie, and turns it into a 3 minute rap video.
A Conversation In Music Lyrics
I subscribed to the Comedy.com You Tube channel for the "Make A Hot Girl Laugh" series. But this video rocks as well.
Scarecrow Dancing Electro
Really not much of an explaination needed for this video...it's a dancing scarecrow...

Featuring: Danxzen
The Final Challenge of the current Song Fu battle has been announced. This was copied from the Song Fu blog.
For this final duel between Master and Challenger, you must envision a world in which composer John Williams was never hired to write the now-iconic scores for the Lucas and Spielberg films of the 1970’s (JAWS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, 1941, and STAR WARS). Imagine instead that the filmmakers decided to go with that other staple of the 70’s - a tailor-made pop tune. Think THE POSEIDEN ADVENTURE’s “The Morning After”. You must choose one of those 1970’s Williams-scored Spielberg/Lucas flicks and write “The Song From…” that the film never had, in the style of a 1970’s pop tune (particularly in your instrumentation).
The song must be at least 1min 45sec, and must be an original creation.
The deadline for delivery of the song is 11:59pm EST on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21st.
I'll post links to the final 2 songs when they're uploaded, should be interesting. For now lets get to todays featured artist. I was watching 'Epic Fu' the other day, and Zadi featured a small clip from a music video that looked really cool. The clip was credited to someone with a vimeo account called "Danxzen". So I looked it up, and discovered a few more cool music videos uploaded to this account. I hope you enjoy.
PS: For those of you I Rick Rolled yesterday...HAHA!

Do The "Lurch"?
Before you get to the videos, I want to let people know that I may start updating this blog at a more random schedule. I'll still try to update about every day, but I'll be starting a new job soon. So I may not update around 12-4AM which is when I typically have been updating.
I remember watching the Adams Family growing up, and I remember the character Lurch very clearly. However I do not remember a dance craze called the "Lurch".
Mahalo Daily! - Tush Push
Recently uploaded report on line dancing...something I've actually had to teach to middle school kids.
Nerd Rappers
Internet Superstar recently featured some nerd rappers on the show that I found entertaining.

I featured a lot of my favorite JoCo videos awhile back, but the JoCo fans have made a lot of new videos since then so I thought I would do it again.

Random Music Videos
I'm featuring 4 music videos I came across during the past month that I really enjoyed. Monday or Tuesday I plan on featuring Jonathan Coulton again. I featured some of his best videos awhile back, but JoCo fans have made a lot of new videos since. So even though I featured him once before, all the videos will be different this time.
The Gabe Dixon Band - Till You're Gone
This is a great idea for a video, turning people into piano keys.
Torpedo Boyz - The Disco Song
I miss disco...the clothes, the songs & the lights...BRING BACK DISCO!
TV On The Radio - Dancing Choose
This is a great song with an odd, but entertaining video.
Fujiya & Miyagi - Ankle Injuries
This video is made using only dice...cool look & good song.

Nathan Wills AKA paradigma
This You Tuber has some real talent, and I'm hoping he creates some videos that would go well in this blog. If you subscribe to SMP Films, or if you've just watched a few of Cory's AKA Mr. Saftey's videos, you might have heard some of his music before.
Take A Bow (cover)
Happy Slip not only does a cover, but then uses her own lyrics to improve the song.
MR AUDIO PREVIEW
You Tube users should have noticed the "Audio Preview" button recently added by now. David Choi not only noticed it, he used it to write a song.
Take On Me: Literal Video Version
Basically this user took an old music video, but changed the lyrics so that they describe exactly whats going on in the video at that very moment. Just watch, it's funny I promise.

Leprechaun Dance
What's better then a midget dancing? One dressed as a leprechaun of course...duh.
VOTE FOR MARTY Comment Song
The lyrics of this song come from various You Tube comments.
breadpig band's first show: Live in D.C.
This video was made by one of the creators of Reddit.com. I think it's the only band I'm talented enough to play with.
Cosby Show Opening (parody by TRS)
The Totally Rad Show recently did a parody of the Cosby Show opening. I'm a fan of TRS & Cosby so I had to post it.

Featuring: ihatemorningsdotcom AKA Ben Walker
This is someone who seems to be up & coming on You Tube. He's doing some sort of challenge to write 50 songs in 90 days. Reminds me a bit of Jonathan Coulton, and his Thing A Week project in which he wrote 1 song each week for a year. He has his own website ihatemornings & You Tube channel. Here's my favorite 4 videos from his channel.
The Twitter Song
You've Been Missing Everything I Do
Turn It Off And Turn It On Again (Ballad Of The I.T. Guy)

Disturbia - Rihanna (cover)
Kina Grannis doesn't do a lot of popular covers, so this is really a treat.
SUPERNOTE UPDATE #2
Rhett & Link give us a little update on how the Super Note contest is going. Have you made your Super Note yet?
Prof Klein's Vlog - Dance
Hooking Up is an online show staring a bunch of You Tube celebrities. Nalts has a character in the show, and I thought this clip was sort of funny.
TuTu Band "What's That Smell?
I'll be singing this song on my way to the park later...don't you hate when you get a song stuck in your head?

Robot Dancing Partner
Before we get to the videos I'd like to remind you that you can follow me on Twitter, links on the right. I only have 5 followers, but I noticed one of them is Andrew Baron a producer for http://www.rocketboom.com/. Great site, if you don't know what it is check it out I've been a fan for a long time. I don't tweet much, but I always give a tweet about each blog update. Eventually I plan on posting links to extra content on Twitter, that may not make the blog.
This is a little creepy, we're now 1 step closer to robots taking over the Earth.
Cigarettes & Chocolate Milk
This is the Nataly Dawn video I told you yesterday that I would post. I love her voice, is it me or is it really hot?
Kendama Music
I love the Japs, I just wish I could pick up more of their television programming over here.
BANDAI Mugen PeriPeri, Electric Paper Pack Opener
Even their commercials are cool. I wouldn't skip commercials with my DVR if I lived in Japan.

The Snog Song
I didn't get this from the devilishlypure channel, but you'll notice it's the same people.
One Man Rock Band
This dude just can't share the spotlight, so he does everything himself.
A Whole New World
Looking through different channels today, and found someone really into Disney songs. Had a lot of videos on the channel, but not much worth posting. Here's probably the best of the bunch.
Beat the Horse
Pomplamoose just posted another good video. I think I'll post a Nataly Dawn video for Tuesday; I've had one ready to post for awhile, but for one reason or another I never got around to it. Nataly is the chick in the Pomplamoose videos, and Jack Conte is the dude.

Belly Dancing with Jillina and her Sahlala Dancers

Featuring: Doug Payne AKA coomadoug
Before you get to the videos notice I'm now including a Digg button with the updates. So Digg it if you digg it. Hopefully I'll figure out how to change the size & color of the button soon.
I've only posted 1 coomadoug video in the past, but you should check his stuff out. Picture a mix of geriatric1927 & davedays.

I know I promised to post a few more dance videos, so Thursday's post will be an all dance post. I'll also throw in a dance video in todays Best Of The Rest. Today however I'm featuring a You Tuber who's been pretty popular for awhile now. The voice ain't bad when he attempts to sing like a dude, but I laugh my butt off whenever he hits from the other side of the plate. Anyways I picked 4 of my favorite videos from his channel for today...why in the world would a dude want to sound like a chick?
