1. I'm loving these! ...

Especially the Monkees lol. Thanks for posting this! :hi:

[merh]

2. Apparently it is a new genre

and another poster made a thread on them just after I did.

:hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. I liked the Monkees one too

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. How do they do that? How do they make the songs sound right with new words?!

[merh]

5. The one fellow that makes the videos sings all the new lyrics

he mixes it and matches it on his computer.

He did a few and now others are copying him, giving him credit for the new genre.

[GreenPartyVoter]

6. No amount of mixing and matching could ever make me sound like a good singer, let alone a famous one

:rofl:

[merh]

7. You and me both

:rofl:

[cemaphonic]

15. there are some music production conventions that make it possible to mostly eliminate the vocals

from a song while still retaining the rest of the music. As long as the vocals are recorded to the center (which they almost always have been since the late 60s or so), you can use phase cancellation to cut them out. Then you just record your new lyrics over it.

8. One of my favorites:

[merh]

9. Oh, that is a riot

:rofl:

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. !!!!!!!!!! I love it even more than the Monkees one!

[deucemagnet]

10. Pirouette!

:rofl:

[merh]

11. My brother used to be a huge Idol fan

I sent him the link to this video and haven't heard back from him yet - I don't know if that means he has not had a chance to watch it or no sense of humor.

:rofl:

[AggieGal]

12. These videos are awesome!

I have often wondered why some videos have nothing to do with the song. Now these are all about the song and video matching. Good times.

[Bucky]

13. The literal Laura Brannigan "Turn Around White Eyes" video is the best

No link from me, however, cause I'm at work (no YouTubing allowed)

[merh]

14. You mean this one?

(To view when you get home.)

That song is so campy, this version is much better. :rofl:

Have you seen the "judgmental video" of Britney's Toxic video?

I love that youtube is out there so the many creative folks have a place to showcase their wit, snark and humor.

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. Total eclipse is good, so was the aha one & billy idol, but I am still loving

the monkees and joe cocker the best. :hi:

Editing to add this Meatloaf one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTPko-aXvJM

Some of them though, are really, really bad. Have you been through the whole list at youtube?

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A095CDB461A1FEED

[merh]

20. Oh, gawd I forgot how long that Meatloaf song was.

that is funny, but I couldn't watch the whole thing :rofl:

the person making the video could sing. :)
