Idolator

OMG Steve Allen and Johnny Standley did EXACTLY THE SAME THING FIFTY FRIGGIN YEARS AGO!!! AND IT WASN'T FUNNY, THEN, EITHER!!!

It's mildly funny the first time you see it (the concept, not this particular video), but it gets old really fast.

Analyzing the lyrics of popular r&b tracks = Losing last bit of youth culture credibility.

What, he left his blackface at home?

we'll always remember Alanis

This guy in 1971:

"Today, Chris recites T. Rex's 'Bang A Gong (Get It On)'

[affects posh accent, with barely disguised disdain]

Well, you're built like a caaar/
You got a hubcap diamond star halo/
[rolls eyes]
You're built like a car ... *oh yeah*/"

Even before that: Peter Sellers doing deadpan readings of "She Loves You"

But I did enjoy that one time James Lipton read the lyrics to Popozao on Conan.

I'll admit that I enjoyed the Village Voice's MIMS article.

But I won't even bother with the above video.

@Matos W.K.: For the record, I was not "down" with that one. "Down," huh? Such a crazy word these young folks speak!

This guy's cute, though. Sold!

I actually have the Alanis Humps mp3, but more for the reminder that _anything_ can be Alanis-ized than for the humor.

I would only be "down" with Chris if he did that stuff while tan, shirtless, and penis-gagged (kids, consult your local bdsm/leather shop). It wouldn't be funny, but it would be more watchable.

@Richfourfour: Yup. Also, if that icon is Kelly McNamara, you are my new favourite.
