This is a video of a man at karaoke summoning the spirit of Earl Simmons to perform a near spot-on rendition of ‘X Gon’ Give It To Ya’. He really does do an exemplary job (it’s the voice), and if I can figure out where this bar this is (Florida?),
This is a video of concert organist Felix Hell performing a tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach on the largest musical instrument in the world, the Boardwalk Hall Auditorium pipe organ in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The organ contains 33,451 pipes, weighs over 150 tons, and is also the loudest instrument
From ruiner/occasional improver of songs There I Ruined It (previously), this is a video of Six Mix-A-Lot’s ‘Baby Got Back’ reimagined in the style of Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘The Sound Of Silence’ (with bonus Black Eyed Peas ‘My Humps’ at the end). Does it still deliver? Yes. UNLIKE MY FAVORITE

These are a couple videos from psychologist Edgar Ciancio, who attached the business end of a garden hose to the cone of a subwoofer to vibrate the water coming out in sync with the sound waves produced. Pretty cool, and I can’t wait to demonstrate this at my next BBQ
Because the power of the internet offers us an unbridled look into other people’s lives that we otherwise wouldn’t (and probably shouldn’t) have, these are several videos from Youtuber MrPanFace featuring anthropomorphic crepes with googly eyes lip-syncing to songs on the stove.
