following up frank's query re the classical equiv of karaoke here, i suggest that if a version is bein sung to a toddler during toilet-training IT IS BECOME FOLK (cf the comments thread)

not as good as the combination pizza hut and taco bell but what is?

The sample is, admitedly, not the greatest thing I've ever heard (mostly due to long boring intro) but JEBUS. Admitedly, Sasha Grey (DO NOT GOOGLE AT WORK) and Girl Talk are both onboard adding dangerously to pretension levels but ANDREW W K, EVERYONE. It is nice to see he's still working.

Did you get an email about Orgafun today? Do you feel like you should have? If you answered 'no' and then 'yes' to these questions, plz to be giving me your email address.

Edit: Supposing you've somehow missed Andrew WK's existence (or even if you're completely aware of it) it is probably quite important to alter your reality by educating yourself fully.

YAYIP Supplement March 2009: Oh look it's Lionel!

"Grown Iraqi men get misty-eyed by the mere mention of his name. "I love Lionel Richie," they say. Iraqis who do not understand a word of English can sing an entire Lionel Richie song. He has performed in Morocco, Dubai, Qatar and Libya. There is obviously something up there. The more we talked, the more he theorized as to the reasons his music might be so popular here. He thinks it is because of the simple message in his music: Love." (ABC News)

Apols for slight lateness of this, your MARCH cavalcade of second-tier hits. This month, there's no less than seventeen tracks and thirteen proper 'tube videos, two of which incidentally have a video game theme. So...
