Idolator

In this fan-recorded clip from a few weeks ago, the B-52's, Cyndi Lauper, Erasure, and others come together to belt out a gleeful version of Sly and the Family Stone's inclusive anthem "Everyday People." It seems like a blast, but the amusing thing about the clip is the way every time Fred Schneider perks up and sings louder, it feels as though you've just bitten into something weird and unexpected. Sort of like finding a Gummi Bear in the middle of an Italian hero. [YouTube]

Last night on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart enlisted the B-52's Fred Schneider to turn snippets of Scott McLellan's audiobook version of What Happened—in which the former White House press secretary makes the shocking claim that the current U.S. president might be something of a propagandist (I know, right?)—into a party at the Love Shack. Schneider looks half-mortified to be there, perhaps because he's without his foils Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson, or perhaps because he knows, deep in his heart, that "Rock Lobster" would have been a much more appropriate choice for the backing music.
