Once again I had to choose between two. This one won because the other one was by Garfunkel & Oates, who I featured not very long ago (but you should totally go watch their one anyway, coz it’s brilliant. I will never look at ducks the same way again. Also, I really want one of those duck-hood bathtowels).
The basic premise is replacing the actual song lyrics with a commentary of what’s happening in the video clip. There appear to be a few of this kind of parody, but I’ve watched a couple of others and this one is the best by far. I’ve concluded that there are a couple of reasons for this: 1) the video is so freakin’ odd, commentating it points out all the weird shit you’d never really noticed before, and 2) the singer actually does a fairly good approximation of Bonnie Tyler’s voice, and is mostly in tune (not the case with others).
‘What the effing crap? That angel guy just felt me up!’ *giggle*
On a different note, a friend of mine, known variously as Tom Baby, Top Five, and Tom Baby Fuck Yeah has requested his own blog post. He will have to deal with sharing it with Music Monday though. He would like me to tell you that he is awesome and devastatingly handsome. Also, he likes Basshunter, the Spice Girls (almost as much as I do) and has a man-crush on Christian Bale.
Here is a limerick for him:
There once was a guy called Tom Baby
Whose sunnies were really quite shady
Many drinks did he sup
With collar flipped up
And had muchos luck with the ladies.
(Limerick part II pending approval 
)
LOL this video is pretty hilarious! It doesn’t seem at all related to the words of the song!? o.O
Jenny and I were discussing hooded bath towels on Friday – sitting outside Bed, Bath & Beyond before work. We decided against them though, since they looked like they were kid-sized and something we might get ON, but not OFF. FAIL.
HEHE I like Tom’s limerick. He sounds amusing.
That video made my morning.
@ Cone Head I am a bit confused .
Is Tom the name you have given to the man of your dreams other then Johnny Depp or have you meet someone ?
My name is Tom Baby and I approve of this limerick!
Tom Baby’s the man of everyones dreams, yyyeahhh…
(Holly would you like my number?)
Tom Baby, Fuck Yeah
@ Luke: Tom Baby is a real person (as evidenced by his comment), a friend of mine from work who is awesome
@ Holly: A hooded bath towel would not be the worst thing in the world to wear permanently. It would certainly come in handy in wet weather.
@ Sam: I’m glad
@ Tom: Of course you approve of this limerick. It is awesome.
OMG. That literal version of TEofH is HILARIOUS!
my mum walked past and asked what i was watching cos it sounded screwed up – she rotfl’d too XD
[...] I got an awesome spam comment on my last week’s Music Monday from someone called Dr [...]
A guy called Tom Baby Fuck Yeah
Was so hirsute he looked like a bear.
From his butt to his chest
He was matted at best,
‘Til we bought him a pottle of Nair.
Now that he is gleamingly bare
All the ladies agree that he’s fair –
All those years wasted – wow!
He’d be married by now
Had he not been all covered in hair.
Ally: LMFAO! *just came perilously close to spitting coffee on laptop.*
Poor Tom! I hope he’s not offended by your insinuation that he is (was?) excessively hairy!?
@ Ally: LMFAO! I am totally showing that to him!
I am glad you liked the video. We recored it at 12 in the morning so the singing was a little shaky.
Thanks always
