Cosplay Piano: The Walking Dead, Batman, Superman, Game of Thrones

If you're a fan of The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Batman, or Superman - you'll truly enjoy these videos.  Award winning pianist, Sonya Belousova and Director Tom Grey are the geniuses behind these musical arrangements.  While The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones vids are a bit more elaborate, they're all great nonetheless.  The Game of Thrones piece is my favorite.

Evolution of Get Lucky

In April I posted a video titled the Evolution of Music which consisted of a medley of Pentatonix's favorite songs.  This time around, PV Nova take Daft Punk and Pharrell's, "Get Lucky" and do something similar.

They take the song and change the music to reflect the decade, starting with 1930 until the year 2020.  It's pretty cool, I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The 70's and 80's were perfect!

Make You Feel My Love by Sean Rumsey

I first heard Sean Rumsey's cover of Adele's "Make You Feel My Love" over a year ago, and I still can't put it down.  I absolutely love his rendition of the song.

I learned today he was actually a contestant on The Voice currently airing in the UK.  According to the Mirror "he is on the verge of being signed by a "host of record labels"".

 

Get Lucky by George Barnett

I don't know about you, but I'm liking George Barnett's cover of "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk much more than the original.  What do you guys think?

It's My Friday, and I'm In Love!

I don't know what it's like to work on Friday's anymore.  It's just something that doesn't exist in my life.  So in honor of Thursday being my Friday, I thought I'd share this cute animated video :-)

A Song About Immigration, Fiats and Sexy People

I was about to watch a video on you-tube when an advertisement pops up.  My first thought was to skip it, as I normally do, but after letting it play for a minute I got dragged into it.  I'm assuming all you club-goers have heard of the song.  It's titled "Sexy People (The Fiat Song)" featuring Pitbull.

Italian singer-songwriter and actress, Arianna Bergamaschi, better known as Arianna, released the song earlier this year.  She spoke to Artist Direct as to why she made the track: 

I'd made a track for a friend who does music for commercials. I was at home and they called me asking to suggest a song that's like the dance song "Tu Vuò Fà L'Americano". That's a Neapolitan song from Naples. They wanted a song like that because the commercial was about immigration. They wanted to speak about Italian immigration in L.A. I knew the Italian song very well, and they just asked for a suggestion. I said, "Torna a Surriento" is one of the best because it speaks about immigration. I sang it for a little bit since the commercial was 30-seconds. I didn't imagine it would get four million views on YouTube, and we'd do a song [Laughs]. I'm a singer in Italy, and I've done so many things including theater and musicals. It's like a dream for me to be here. I wanted to do a single in the U.S., but I didn't expect it. Everything feels like an unexpected dream."

Check it out, it'll make you dance.

Sunday Funday: Sebastian Castro in Bubble

Just in case you gay boys never heard of the Peruvian-Japanese actor-singer known as Sebastian Castro.  On Valentine's Day he released a video for his single, "Bubble".  And yeah, it's a little gay. LOL.  

Sebastian says, “I tried to recreate the feeling of losing my virginity… I just wanted to make something so visually, musically, impulsive that would give anyone and everyone a glimpse to what it felt like.”

Um, you explained it alright.  This video is not meant for the straight or faint of heart, and definitely NSFW.   Watch at your own risk, LOL.

Everybody Talks by Derik Nelson

Meet Derik Nelson, as he covers "Everybody Talks" by Neon Trees.  I absolutely loved his rendition of this song and had to share it with you. 

Enjoy and have a Happy Friday!

Sunday Funday: I'm Not Gay

Today' second Sunday Funday video uses a different genre, but is just as hilarious as the video I posted earlier.

The song titled,  "I'm Not Gay" features an up-and-coming artist, by the name of Jesse Pepe.  I couldn't find much on him, but I did find his Kickstarter page, where he states his "goal as an artist is not to be another flame-out mainstream performer."  But as one guy put it, "Grabbing guys’ crotches, stroking poles and asking for a good drilling at Home Depot probably isn’t the best way to show you’re not gay."  LOL. "That’s exactly what Jesse P’s alter ego J Pee does in this parody clip titled, guess what… “I’m Not Gay.” The homo-bro rap track was written by Pepe himself and features lots of gratuitous shirtless shots and inappropriate touching."

Once again, be warned - it is NSFW, but it is good, clean fun. Absolutely hilarious! 
 

Sunday Funday: RuPaulogize

It's time for some Sunday Funday realness!!!  I'll be posting two music videos that are absolutely hilarious and are sure to be a hit.  Be warned, both videos are NSFW and each will be posted separately.

The first video features our favorite drag queen superstars, Willam Belli and Sharon Needles.  Will this bring down Belli's previous video, "This Boy is a Bottom"?  I think it may very well do that - I can't stop playing it. 

You may remember Willam coining the term "RuPaulogize" in season 4 of Drag Race, so you knew a song was coming.  The video, which features Sharon Needles as RuPaul, parodies One Republic's, "Apologize".  You have to check it out - you'll be ROFLD (rolling on the floor dancing).

 

Saturday Morning Coffee Break: Define Me

I'm going out of the norm for today's issue of Saturday Morning Coffee Break.  I'm featuring a music video by singer/ songwriter, Ryan Amador that is absolutely amazing.  He sings alongside Jo Lampert in a duet that is both powerful and moving.  The song is titled, "Define Me".   

Trust me, making you cry is not something I want to do, but this will be especially emotional for those who have ever been bullied or blasted with gay slurs growing up.  And this will be emotional for those straight folks with a heart and soul, who may have contemplated saying these things once, and regret ever doing so. But finally, this is for those Christians who know loving your fellow brother is something Jesus asked them to do, and yet, don't understand why their fellow worshipers are so full of hate and contempt for those who wish them no harm.

The video features Amador and Lampert stripping down to their underwear revealing gay slurs and negative stereotypes across their arms, legs, and chest.  It ends with them washing away the words and sharing a smile.  

Once again, it is absolutely amazing; I just love it.  And this why it is today's Saturday Morning Coffee Break.  And rightly so.

Grab your java, sit down and enjoy.

50 Ways To Say Goodbye and I Didn't Even Know It

This just goes to show how much I pay attention to the lyrics to a song. Last night, Ryan showed me the music video to Train's, "50 Ways To Say Goodbye" and I never realized how hilarious the song was until I saw it.  Suffice it to say, I was embarrassed. LOL.  I listen to this song everyday as I walk from the gym to the office.  It has an upbeat tempo and it brightens my day.  But omg, it's so cruel!  LMAO.

The video stars David Hasselhoff and Taryn Manning - It is absolutely hilarious.  If you haven't seen it, check it out here.

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #17 - Gentleman

Currently listening to

PSY

I haven't posted a jam in over a year, so I figured why not let you join in on "Gentleman" from your favorite Korean artist, PSY.

I never understood the craze behind his previous song, "Gangnam Style," but since it surpassed Justin Bieber's single, "Baby" on April 1st, he must be doing something right. lol.

Here's the video and song for your enjoyment; And yes, while I don't understand what he's saying, I'm still listening to it.

The One That Turned You Gay

Who's in for a little humor this morning?  I saw this video a couple of years ago, but completely forgot to post it.  YouTube Vlogger Shane Dawson, did a parody of Katy Perry's, "The One That Got Away" and titled it, "The One That Turned You Gay".  The lyrics are pretty darn funny.

How was Aunt Hilda to know she would turn her nephew gay?  Lol.

This Boy Is A Bottom (NSFW)

The following video was released a few days ago by drag superstar, Willam Belli and it's absolultely hilarious!  I loved it so much, I had to download it.  You may remember, Willam was eliminated for breaking the rules in Season 4 of RuPaul's Drag Race, where he went on to say he wasn't going to "RuPaulogize" for breaking the rules.

As with most videos by Belli, it is NSFW so make sure to have some headphones on or wait to play it at home.

The video parodies the song, "Girl is on Fire" by Alicia Keys.

 

Must Watch: Cut The World by Antony & The Johnsons

Starring actress Carice Van Houten and actor Willem Dafoe, this music video will leave  you with your mouth wide open.  I really don't know what to say about this video, aside from the fact that it was brilliant? Splendiferous?  You decide.  Maybe by watching it a second time you'll understand it more.  

The video does come with a statement, "This video may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised."

Must Watch: Take Me To Your Momma for Rice & Beans

"Take me to your momma for dinner".  It's the singing chihuahua - it gets me every time. LOL. 

Nevermind that the guys in this video are hot, have hot bodies, and know how to move their ass, The chihuahua has it going on.

Cazwell is back with a new song, and this time it's called "Rice and Beans".  He left that "Ice Cream Truck" and bought a Taco one I suppose.


Is it me, or can those guys shake that ass?  I can only imagine what it's like in the bedroom. Damn!

Must Watch - Must Listen: Tarzan Rain

You may remember or you may not, but in one of my flashbacks (that I haven't done in a while), I featured a song titled Tarzan and Boy by Baltimora.  It was actually a club song from the late 80's, early 90's - a one hit wonder to say the least.  Well today I came across an odd mashup..

Adele vs. Tarzan.  I know, I know, my thoughts exactly.  But it does sound pretty good.  The Reborn Identity mashed up Set Fire to the Rain with the 80s New Wave dance hit.  Take a look, and listen.

Hungry for Cato or Alexander?

The movie, Hunger Games hasn't even hit theaters yet, and girls, and boys are swooning over this guy, really?  LOL.

Unbeknownst to you, Alexander Ludwig, the main attraction of the upcoming movie, had to put his rockstar dreams on hold, because he wasn't able to pull a Justin Bieber fast enough.  Who knew Cato could sing?  Actually he just released his track, "Liv It Up (Teenage Wasteland)" on Monday, March 6, 2012.

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #16 - Monday Morning

Currently listening to

Melanie Fiona

It's a Monday!  Everybody's favorite day of the week!  Actually, I think I'm the only one who thinks it so.  

A majority of you have never heard of this artist, but if you want something to make you dance while you get dressed on a Monday morning, this song will get you to move.  Hell I'm shaking my ass right now, and I'm typing!

Melanie Fiona is a Canadian R&B singer I discovered while listening to another one of her tracks and the moment I heard "Monday Morning" my Mondays have never been the same.  I now play it every Monday as I drive to work and it makes me smile and jump for joy!  She's absolutely fantastic!  The song is featured on her album, "The Bridge" which was released in 2009.

Unfortunately, the song never debuted in the United States, but it did reach number one on the Swiss Singles Chart, and has also become successful in Poland, Austria and Hungary, reaching number one there as well.

So without further ado, listen to Melanie this Monday morning...

If you wish to hear the song with lyrics, view it after the jump...
