Watch This Video and Monday Will Be Painless

GiggleSugar — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:00:00 -0800

No, really. Your life will improve in ways you never dreamed of. I guarantee it. Would I lie to you?

Flashback: Leif Garrett, Teen Heartthrob

GiggleSugar — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 07:00:00 -0800

This is what teen girls were swooning over back in '79. He's kinda like Rod Stewart, light. I will give the dude one thing, though: he had awesome hair.

Cute Alert: Littlest Lounge Act in the World

GiggleSugar — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 09:00:00 -0800

I almost forgot about this adorable kid. She was 7 when someone recorded her hamming it up while playing the organ, so she must be a whopping 8-years-old now. She is having so much fun, and is in such command of this instrument, that when her teacher or father comes by to check her progress, the force field of her confidence forces him to beat a retreat. (I love her little wrist motions, too and the sudden smile.) What a cutie!

Songs in the Key of Craigslist: "Brush My Hair"

GiggleSugar — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 14:00:00 -0800

Oh, Craigslist. Where else are we going to learn about how weird people and their desires are without actually having to date them? Someone took a Craigslist ad about a guy looking for "a woman or group of women" to brush his hair and turned it into a song that I could imagine the Flight of the Conchords guys singing. This special dude reluctantly admits that, OK, it's kinda arousing to him to have his hair brushed, but even those with unusual fetishes have their standards: This woman or group of women can't smell like milk. (Um, what?!)

Beardyman Beat Box Spectacular

GiggleSugar — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:00:00 -0700

This guy is such an amazing beat boxer that I'm not even going to make a joke about his name. When you drop beats like Beardyman, mutton chops and a corresponding moniker are your prerogative.

Have a Doobie Brothers Halloween!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:10:00 -0700

Oh, man. I love Michael McDonald's smooth '70s voice. Such a lovable, stoned hippie voice. It seems a little random to have a guy dressed as Count Dracula sing "Takin' It to the Streets" (as "Trickin' It to the Treat") for Halloween, but what would life be like without a little random sh*t thrown in?

Cutest Backup Singers Ever

GiggleSugar — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 02:00:00 -0700

"They try to me us go to Pounce-hab/and we say no, no, no!"

Watch Out, Jonas Brothers

GiggleSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 13:30:00 -0700

There's a new pop sensation in town. And by town I mean somewhere in Europe. Is it just me or do the other kids in the video seem like they're not very enthused? Even the girl on the boat has a why-am-I-here look on her face.

Sarah Palin, Improvisational Jazz Singer?

GiggleSugar — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 10:00:00 -0700

You know how Ella Fitzgerald was awesome at scatting to syncopated rhythms? Some genius with a piano decided to add some jazz piano to Sarah Palin's speech. I'm mesmerized by this video, and I can't explain why . . .

Those Piano Lessons Finally Paid Off

GiggleSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 13:00:00 -0700

I think she may be the first person ever to play the keyboard while simultaneously using it as a stripper pole. It's oddly mesmerizing. Can't . . . look . . . away . . .

Baby Jams!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:00:00 -0700

The sound of a baby crying may be one of the most agitating sounds out there. But the sound of a baby gurgling, cooing, hiccupping, and giggling? Music to my ears! Club music, to be precise.

Things Not to Say to Your Wife: The Song

GiggleSugar — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 01:00:00 -0700

The things on the list should go without saying, but some dudes need reminding. I especially love how this comedian replaces Green Day's lyric, "It's something unpredictable/but in the end it's right," with "If you're a man who doesn't want to get killed with a knife. . ." Tee hee.

TGIF!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:15:00 -0700

It's the final countdown, people . . . to the weekend! And what better way to celebrate it than with some crazy shut-in teenager who's fashioned his own musical instrument out of a kazoo, a ukulele, and lord knows what else. As longhornlass04, who sent this cool video, instructs: "Watch his eyebrows as he plays the kazoo." Haha.

Heavy Metal Farmer

GiggleSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 10:00:00 -0700

I like to think that this hottie hipster guy is really an Amish dude during Rumspringa, the "running around" time for Amish youth when they experiment with worldly pleasures in order to figure out whether or not they want to stay with the Amish way of life. In addition to possibly experimenting with alcohol, cigarettes and maybe even drugs, I imagine they listen to heavy metal. Here is what an Amish guy gone wild might sound like. . .

Izzy Gets His Opera On

GiggleSugar — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Izzy the dog was just lying around one day when suddenly, German opera on television moved him to join in. You will laugh your ass off, but your ears may never forgive you. (It's practically dog day here at GiggleSugar. Imagine that! Don't worry, cats, I still love you!)

One-Man AC/DC Cover Band

GiggleSugar — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 10:00:00 -0700

If you want something done right — do it yourself. Who knew that could include performing in an AC/DC cover band of one? This guy ~~sings~~ shrieks, plays the keyboard, and drums his heart out — all by himself. Awesome.

An Ode to Milk and Cereal

GiggleSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:00:00 -0700

It's the simple things in life that give you pleasure. The smile on a child's face. The first dew of Spring. Jalepenos on a piping hot pile of movie-theater nachos. That's why I love this song by two goofballs about how much they love milk and cereal. (It's supposed to be a classic, but somehow it went under my radar. This is the first time I've seen it!)

Madonna's Fans Don't Know Her Lyrics!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Poor Madonna. I know some of her hugest fans, but apparently they didn't show up to this concert. It appears something is wrong with her mic, and then, when she tries to get them to engage in the ol' "finish my singing for me so you, too, can feel a part of this concert," they go blank. What self-respecting Madonna fan doesn't know the lyrics to "Dress You Up in My Love"?! But they can sing "oo-ah oo-ah!" Naturally.

Coco's Cat Rap!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 10:00:00 -0700

As if this Nelly song wasn't catchy enough to be lodged in your head forever — add a cat rapping and singing. I wish that dude let Coco rap more. I was just waiting out his performance until she came on. (Have I heard this before, or does it just seem totally normal for a cat to sing?)

Best Teen Cover Band Ever

GiggleSugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:00:00 -0700

You all know The Foo Fighters' haunting song "Everlong," right? Well, hold onto your hats, and forget you ever heard about the Jonas Brothers. This is such an original version of the song, you'll tell yourself that you wouldn't have known what it was if I hadn't told you first. Enjoy!

With Friends Like This...

GiggleSugar — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:15:00 -0700

Methinks Jesus doesn't need enemies.

An Ode to Socks

GiggleSugar — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:00:00 -0700

This fine young man is doing something we would all benefit from doing: finding something in our small, cramped lives to be thankful for. In his case — the guy likes socks. And who am I to judge? Although, it might be turning into a sock fetish. Just an observation.

The One Semester of Spanish Spanish Love Song

GiggleSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:00:00 -0700

A little learnin' is a dangerous thing. Just ask this lovely señorita who has to listen to this dude try to hit on her in really bad Spanish. (How does she keep from laughing?) I love that he signs off by saying, "Au revoir!" Classic.

Parrot Whistles Kill Bill Theme Song

GiggleSugar — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:00:00 -0700

This genius parrot has somehow picked up the haunting and eerie Kill Bill theme song from Quentin Tarantino's film starring Uma Thurman. So instead of hearing cussing and fart noises, this feathered bird is around film buffs! So freaking cool. I love him.

WTF?!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:00:00 -0700

"You can call the operator/For the Super Perforator. . ." Let me rephrase my original question: HUH?!

If a Bear Dances in the Forest...

GiggleSugar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 07:00:00 -0700

And no one's there to film it, did it really happen? Luckily, this quasi-philosophical question need not be asked, because someone DID film it! They say that the closer in proximity to humans wild animals get, the less they fear us. Who knew they'd start partying with us, too?

Thanks for the send, There Will Be Bud!

Robot Rock!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 08:00:00 -0700

This robot band rocks! They've got the '70s New York punk three-chord guitar thing down! Now all they need to work on is their charisma. They're a little stiff in front of an audience. . .

Late Night Burrito Place: The Power Ballad

GiggleSugar — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:00:00 -0700

Did you just get fired from Radio Shack, did the woman you tried to pick up have a boyfriend who threatened to kick your ass, or did you just total your car? Whatever your damage, there's nothing like a late-night burrito place to provide the greasy goods to cure what ails you. God bless America and good night.

Amy Winehouse Throws Punch Into Audience During Concert

GiggleSugar — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 07:58:40 -0700

Who wants to go to a predictable concert where the singer is at her best, sings on key, and sends out love to the audience? Not the folks who go to Amy Winehouse concerts. They're cruisin' for a bruisin', and this otherwise frail looking (and oh, so dainty) chanteuse was happy to oblige. The wacked-out warbler didn't miss a note (well, I mean she was consistent in her missing of notes) as she sucker-punched some fool who was bothering her in the audience. Nelson Mandela might have chosen the wrong person to disinvite to his recent shindig. . .

Flashback: The Village People Sing "Sex Over the Phone"

GiggleSugar — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:00:00 -0700

This is a Flashback in every way. When is the last time you heard The Village People sing something besides "YMCA," saw someone use a Princess telephone, or heard a sex phone line ad? (Do they still exist?) As monotonous as the tune is, it will get stuck in your head, as will the line "I stretch my Princess and I go crazy!" My favorite part of this musical disaster is that the Village People pretend to call girls. C'mon, boys! Let's get real. (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

Coolest 8-Year-Old in the Universe

GiggleSugar — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 03:00:00 -0700

This pre-teen DJ may shatter all the hipster dreams you had of gathering up all your vinyl and becoming a DJ. I'm just warning you before you view it. A dream is a horrible thing to throw away. . .

Flashback: Technotronic's Pump Up the Jam

GiggleSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:00:00 -0700

If they're bringing back fug '80s fashions, why can't they bring back the good stuff, like the dance music? As cheese-tastic as this following song and video are, I dare you not to tap your toes or at least want to "pump up the jam" yourself. Happy Monday!

Techno Chicken Rules!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 30 May 2008 03:00:00 -0700

And I don't even like techno. TGIF (Thank God It's Fowl-Day!) Be-gock!

Super Mario Theme on Piano

GiggleSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 12:00:00 -0700

If the cool jazz sounds from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood met the Super Mario Brothers theme, this is what it would sound like. How many variations of this will they come up with?!

Flight of the Conchords Dudes Know What the Ladies Want

GiggleSugar — Tue, 20 May 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Even with a '70s porn 'stache, Jemaine rocks my world. (Sorry, Bret!) Here the sexy boys prove that even on roller skates, they define hotness. Mreow!

WTF?!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Gravelly-voiced eccentric Tom Waits (you know, the guy whose music Scarlett Johansson covered?) is embarking on his "Glitter and Doom" summer tour and decided to release a vid of his nutso press conference onto an unsuspecting public. Lord, I love the crazies! Be sure to watch until the end. . .

Cute Alert: Kid Band Sings the Police's Message in a Bottle

GiggleSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 01:00:00 -0700

I was going to find you some videos of hipster kids from Brooklyn, New York performing in their awesomely named bands, Toxic Muffin, Care Bears on Fire, and The Tiny Masters of Today. But after seeing them display premature (and studied) cynicism and cooler-than-thou attitudes, I decided on these kids workin' their way through "Message in a Bottle." Sorry, but they're way cuter!

John Mayer Continues to Love Himself

GiggleSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 13:00:00 -0700

John Mayer is one of those dudes who thinks that if he makes a mockery of his douchebaggery, it will mean he's immune from being a douchebag. Yesterday, he wore a fan's douchebag T-shirt. Here, he lets us in on his holy song-writing process. Beware such a man, ladies! He is the most toxic of DBs.

Xylophone Cat

GiggleSugar — Tue, 06 May 2008 12:00:00 -0700

You know the cheesy expression, "He played her like a violin?" Well, in this case, someone's playing this cat like a xylophone. For some reason, every time someone hits a xylophone key, the kitty thinks she's producing the sound. Sigh. Cats are such freaks.

Cute Alert: Cat Plays the Theremin!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 07:00:00 -0700

The Theremin is a mysterious instrument made really popular by the Beach Boys. But, I must add, it is not until now that it's truly perfected. Introducing, the cat with the mostest, the Theremin-playing kitty. (May I request "The Stray Cat Strut"?)

Grape Smashing Lady Falling: The Dance Mix!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:00:00 -0700

OMG. It's the dance remix you've all been waiting for! Someone's added some sick beats to the most dramatic fall on the Internet. "Ow, ow, ow" and "I can't breathe" end up as the only lyrics to this disaster. Remind me never, ever to let anyone film me do anything.

Drummer Rocks Out

GiggleSugar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:00:00 -0700

This drummer seems to think he is worthy of bigger and better things. While this singer blandly croons along, he lies in wait until he can deliver a drum solo to end all drum solos — in the middle of her song, of course. What a show off!

Reggaeton Rocks!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 01:00:00 -0700

I love robots, dancing, and Reggaeton, and this Spanish music video has it all. Now, all I need to do is learn Spanish and learn how to bust some of these robo-babe moves, and I'm set. (I seriously need to download this to iTunes.) "El Chiki Chiki!"

Hand Fart Musician Has Competition

GiggleSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Remember The Manualist? (Sorry if you were trying to forget.) Well, he's got some stiff competition from someone who has decided to get all multimedia on us, as well as throw other body parts into the mix. You'd better step up your game, Manualist! Mr. Nose Trumpet means business. (Is it too weird to say this guy is cute?)

Misheard Lyrics: Creedence Clearwater Revival

GiggleSugar — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:00:00 -0700

They can be corny and repetitive, but I never get sick of misheard lyrics. If anyone has ideas for a song or video that makes no sense, send 'em to me! I wanna Gnu, have you ever seen Lorraine. . ?

Sexy Beast of the Day: Jemaine Clement From Flight of the Conchords

GiggleSugar — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:00:00 -0800

Am I crazy to think that Jemaine Clement of the New Zealand duo Flight of the Conchords is a hunk-a-hunk of burning love? With a face that's a cross between Benicio del Toro, the Incredible Hulk, and Mick Jagger, he defines Sexy Beast. Oh, yeah, and he's hilarious!

WTF?!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 01:01:00 -0800

Talk about multitasking! This guy is not only playing multiple parts in this one-man band, but he's also donning a dress and performing as a female musician. I don't think this makes sense in any language.

Most Romantic Song Ever Written

GiggleSugar — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 03:00:00 -0800

If you can get past this guy's ears, listen to the lyrics of this song. I think that translated into "boy," that's what a song like Journey's Open Arms is really saying.

Thanks, eBaum's World!

Cute Baby Sing Along

GiggleSugar — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 09:59:00 -0800

Cute kid karaoke. This little ham has a future in front of the bright lights. She took the song and really made it her own...

Rejected Law & Order Theme Song

GiggleSugar — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 02:00:00 -0800

This must be one of the rejected Law & Order theme songs—spoken word edition. It sounds like it was submitted by teenage girls at a slumber party after sneaking some booze from their parents liquor cabinet and playing "light as a feather, stiff as a board." Or perhaps I'm reading too much into it.
