James Mason vs the Pirate 27.07.10
As you know, Corbin is really into playing pirates right now (which means I am too) and I’ve always loved They Might be Giants (despite their current evolutionary tendencies) so is it any wonder that this video would bring a smile to my face. I hope it gives you a little chuckle too. Flansburgh & [...]

Control Yourself 29.04.10
Another post stolen from Woot.com (because I am anything but original). This is a cover of MGMT’s Kids which, by the way, has two very weird videos. Not it’s kind of sad but I found this version much better than the original. I think what makes this version apeal to me (besides the family-friendly video) [...]

Cut the Strings 20.01.10
Found this on They Might Be Giants This isn’t my area of expertise so I won’t even get into the legitimacy of their “argument” but here’s what the YouTube publisher had to say.

Free Will Song 13.02.07
Just found this over at Samshua. Quite possible the most hilarious and distrbing song of all time. As you listen to the song, you’ll see that saying God is sovoriegn yet gives us a free will is such an oxymoron. These people sing about God’s control and power and glory over everything and then say [...]

Hokey Pokey 21.03.06
Borrowed this from Scroobious Scrivenings The following is from the Washington Post Style Invitational contest that asked readers to submit “instructions” for something (anything), but written in the style of a famous person. The winning entry was The Hokey Pokey (as written by William Shakespeare). O proud left foot, that ventures quick within Then soon [...]
