Do you want to write a song as catchy as Soulja Boy’s “Crank That,” one that will lead you to a life of making YouTube dance-lesson videos, being chased around by mini-yous, and helming sneaker lines from the comfort of your own bedroom? The above video has step-by-step instructions on how to re-create the inescapable song’s beat using the audio-editing program Acid, and there’s even a sound pack to assist those budding Soulja Boys and Girls on the path toward ringtone stardom. NB: The first person to put their version of “Crank That” together with either the theme to Super Mario Bros. or one of the Mario Paint tracks Jess unearthed Friday gets an official Idolator cookie, or at least a “YAHH TRICK YAHHH” from me.

It is indeed a great achievement to create something even more monotonous and soul-draining than “Crank That”. This guy has the personality of a baby seal, post-clubbing.
That mario paint thing reminds me of something your little sister blog Kotaku posted a while ago, dunno if you you guys caught it or not, but I just had to go back and watch it… and it’s still awesome.
