This is a video of Korean beatbox artist JCOP recreating a variety of sounds his crew makes with different objects, and then everybody going absolutely nuts with celebratory breakdancing moves after each one. My favorites are the guy behind him after the ping pong sounds at 0:15, and after the
This is a video of Norwegian musician Ramblin’ Rogers (I didn’t know Norwegians rambled at all) playing a country cover of ‘Mad About Mad About Me’ (aka ‘The Cantina Song’), made intergalactically famous by Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes in the original Star Wars movie. He doesn’t really change
These are several videos of the appropriately named Youtuber Speedbag Bard demonstrating his ability to punch a speed bag to the beats of various songs. Included below are ‘Feel Good Inc’ by Gorillaz, Post Malone’s ‘Sunflower’, Survivor’s ‘Eye Of The Tiger’, and Sisqo’s ‘Thong Song’. Dude is smooth, working the

Proof (albeit not definitive) that tasty jams are tasty no matter what language they’re performed in, this is a video from vocalist Ja Khole Thaisii, who teamed up with bardcore musician Stantough to perform Nirvana’s 1991 banger ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ with lyrics translated into classical Latin. It still hits.
