Jukebox Friday: Vegas Baby!

Ah, Vegas! It's not all just booze, girls and gambling. It's also wonderful lounge entertainment to be had for free, especially when you venture off the Strip to where the real action is. Here is a home video of a performer named Van de Guzman rockin' it out big time somewhere just outside the city. I want him to play at my next party.

It's "Owner of a Lonely Heart":


Then "Groovin'":


And finally, "Listen to the Music":

The Truth About Internet Porn.

From the folks at Good Magazine come some facts:

"How'd It Get Burned? HOW'D IT GET BURNED???"

Interested in renting the remake of "The Wicker Man" with Nicolas Cage. Let me save you the trouble:

Pops Says Beat It.

So, now Amy Winehouse's father-in-law is asking everyone to boycott her albums as a way to send her and her husband a message about their drug abuse.

Gee, I don't see what the problem is. As this clip (from her guest appearance on Charlotte Church's TV special in the UK) shows, he's perfectly able to maintain her composure while singing Michael Jackson's "Beat It," and how the director totally doesn't have to keep cutting away from her to avoid further embarrassment:

Bollywood Monday: Kalluri Vaanil.

One of the unfortunate things about linking to Bollywood videos on YouTube is all the ignorant or outright racist folks they seem to bring out in the comments. There's plenty of that on display here, even a little from the poster himself, sadly enough. But just ignore that and groove to the video, which is proving to by wildly popular.

The number is "Kalluri Vaanil" by Prabhu Deva and Jaya Sheel from the film "Pennin Manadhai Thottu":

Booty Booty.

I can't believe I used to watch this (and love this) as a kid. "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" sucked. Here, Twiki wants some booty:

Jukebox Friday: Mashup Madness.

Here are some favorite mashups. The videos themselves aren't always anything special -- usually just A+B edits of the videos for the source songs -- but the music is good.

From Arty Fufkin comes "Creole Pour Moi" (Elvis Presley's "Kid Creole" + "Plastic Bertrand's "Ca Plane Pour Moi" + a dash of Banana Splits):


Thriftshop XL gives us "Lillybye" (Lily Allen's "Smile" + The Cure's "Lullabye"). And actually, I think the two source videos work really well together, too:


Party Ben's "Boulevard of Broken Songs" (Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" + Oasis' "Wonderwall" + Travis' "Writing to Reach You" + Aerosmith's "Dream On"):


And finally, my favorite, "Crazy Logic" by Arty Fufkin (Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" + Supertramp's "The Logical Song" + Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me). This is actually a fan video, with all the visuals coming from "Pink Floyd's The Wall." Odd choice, perhaps, but it works:
