Those jackasses are suing everyone in sight. Good luck to the maker of that video. Hope you don't have enough assets to be interesting to them.

They recently sued a tee-shirt shop for making a single (one unit) embroidery of their logo on the back of a single jacket. Damages? According to the RHCP lawyers, they suffered 10's of millions in damages.

Head Over Heels was really good.

This one is much suckage. There is no funny, and the voice is terrible.

The shark has been jumped.

Those heroin habits ain't cheap, you know.

I wish they'd make a literal video based on the lyrics of this RHCP song. (^)

And this one, too. (^)

At first, I thought it would suck, but somehow it sucked me in and I ended up laughing a couple of times.

I'm just going to assume it's some shiatty song about California and skip the link.

That was funny as hell. If you think even parodies have to met your high standard (which Im sure nothing does), then you need to loosen up.

The real video is a classic, and taking it literal allows you to see the video by itself, as the backing for a great song.

Once I got over how stupid it was, it was actually pretty entertaining.

For some reason "Pony tail" made me LOL.

And oh my god, PacManDreaming, that second link is awesome. Not sure how anything could top that video.

I *heart* my Slaine castle dvd. That's one of my favorite concert dvds in my entire collection.

Youngsters today, no culture.

That one wasn't as funny as the other two. :( I wonder why they chose that video; there are much more interesting ones out there.

Oh well, the ending chorus was pretty funny.

not funnay!

True, but the literal "Take On Me" video is farking hard to beat. I don't see that one being topped for a while.

This may be the third one by this guy but others are starting to do it also, should be a few other good ones in the future.

These are the same assholes who stole Tom Petty's song.

You are pretty much right, but you also need to add "unfunny" as well.

I Lol'd, Subby, so much that I'd like to nominate this as a new meme

Made me chuckle, but Take On Me is going to be hard to top. Even by him.

 
Third_Uncle_Eno 2008-11-02 05:53:53 PM  
i dunno... it thought it was pretty cool / funny in places...
and i found the Tears for Fears one... that one was awesome!
these people who do these videos recreate the music along with re-doing the vocals, right?

There are new products out there that rip the vocals out of any song for you to sing along with. 30 bucks, I think. Not too expensive at all.

Yeah. Memes are stupid. Plus, you can't "nominate" one, anyway. They just have to happen.

As for the video, milk your Internet fame for all it's worth, my man. I liked this one better than the second, but neither come close to the first one.

Oh, and Dustin, if you're reading this, your wife is farking hot. My girlfriend wants to borrow her for a while.

 
Third_Uncle_Eno 2008-11-04 01:09:48 AM  
hmmm maybe it's just my imagination, but i thought the music sounded a bit different / diff. arrangement? from the real studio version? quite close tho, great stuff, but just something different.... hmmm [ie. "head over heels"]
