There are a few wonderful things about this guy besides his uncanny likeness to Jon Lovitz. First of all, maybe it’s his eyebrows, but he looks very sincere. Secondly, his song of choice is Haddaway’s “What is Love (Baby Don’t Hurt Me), which is pretty awesome. Ok, so, apparently there are only two wonderful things about him. Really, his singing is about as good as Keenan Cahill’s lip dubbing skills (not good at all you guys).
This cover is timely because it was just a little shy of a week ago that I was able to see Robyn in concert. She happens to be the most adorable human being to grace the face of the planet (yes she’s cuter than your baby) and her dance moves always make me squeal in delight just like every time I spy a pug butt from three blocks away. Don’t jude me, I just have a very keen appreciation of cute things.
The Swede took some time out of her busy schedule to do a cover of Prince’s timeless classic, “When Doves Cry”, and now I need to cancel everything I was supposed to do today just so that I can continue watching this video.
The only way to make an already incredibly great cover better is to listen to it while watching people fall. I don’t care if you fall on your ass, on your face, on your head (ok, a little bit on your head, I’m not the heartless bitch you thought I was!) it’s gonna be funny to me.
When I played soccer in high school, my favorite part next to actually playing was watching the other girls take ungraceful faceplants after tripping over the ball.
In college, my friends and I would sit on the curb outside of our building and watch girls walk the “catwalk” in their super high heels and just wait to watch them topple over in slo-mo. Every day, multiple times a day we were treated to laughing our asses off.
And now, I bring you a fantastic choir cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” to be enjoyed while watching girls fall over hurdles.
My friend Scott introduced me to the amazing aural experience that is Yelle. Seriously everything I’ve heard just makes me want to shake my ass and get cray. Her music video for “A Cause Des Garcons” is hot not just because it is one hell of a jam, but because the dancing is DOPE!
This is the kind of dancing where you question if it’s good or not and say, “I could totally do that, it looks like my son/daughter/Aly McBeal baby/special needs friend/niece flailing around,” but then in the privacy of your bedroom you lock the door, look in the mirror and test out your moves and then realize these people actually have skill.
The President has been in India the last few days and brought good will and dancing to the children celebrating Diwali. While I’m happy the President shook his groove thang, I’m certain he was holding back in the moves department. What I’d REALLY like to see is Barack doing the percolator, maybe throwing out some good old Chi-town juking or even bringing it back to the good old days of the Kid ‘N Play. This will have to do.
