Mash-up of Billboard's Top 25 of 2008

What I like best about this clip is that I'm actually able to identify some of the songs.

Slap Chop Remix: The Rap Chop

I actually want to buy one of these things now. I think it's the breakdancers.

Kid recovers from dentist, the remix

Earlier today, Watch This Now blogger Kathy Bushouse brought you the kid recovers from the dentist video.

Of course, there's already a remix of the poor kid -- complete with downloadable MP3.

Barack Obama and "The West Wing"

I'm going to guess that there are a lot of people who are pretty excited about Tuesday. Am I right?

The Almost-Ultimate Love Song Mash-up

Why almost? Because The Cure's "Love Song" did not make the cut. I know -- it's just madness.

But I will give props to creator Chris Han for use of Wilco's "I'm the Man Who Loves You." Nicely done.

If you want to check out the list of songs used in this clip, click here.

American Election Idol

Here's a good mash-up recipe for your Thanksgiving week.

Take one clip of rabid David Archuleta fans watching last season's American Idol finale. Mix with audio from the Nov. 4 election broadcast. Watch for about 2 minutes.

Single Man Takes On Beyonce's "Single Ladies"

Three thoughts as I watch this excellent split-screen take on Beyonce's "Single Ladies."

One: This man is very thin.

Two: Dang, that outfit is skimpy.

And three: His moves are about as good, if not at some points better, than Beyonce.

Many thanks to our Sentinel colleague Akilah Johnson for alerting us to this clip!

Chillax, Naomi Watts

The good folks at Black20.com imagine what it's like to live with Naomi Watts, who clearly needs to do a romantic comedy or something. You know, keep it light.

This clip contains some swear words, so consider yourself warned. Apparently Naomi Watts also tends to favor characters that curse like sailors.

Take On Me, Literally

Take one famous a-ha video, rework the song so the lyrics match exactly what's happening on the screen, and I still don't get this video. Why are those guys chasing the other guy with a pipe wrench?

The Dark Bailout Knight

Check out what happens when you combine President Bush's televised address to the nation with a scene from "The Dark Knight."

This whole thing does feel sort of like a movie, doesn't it?

Aimee Mann's Singalong Contest

One of the most quiet Internet revolutions going on right now is in the area of shared music. No, I don't mean bands creating buzz off their websites and becoming the next Ok Go. What I'm talking about are the millions upon millions of amateurs out there who are using video to share music, guitar licks, lyrics and voice lessons. I can't imagine what the publishers of sheet music are doing to make ends meet these days, but, as the father of an amateur up-and-coming guitarist, I can tell you that web video is nearly as important at the guitar.
That brings us to Aimee Mann. The songstress, one of the smartest lyricists working these days, is holding a contest for fans to sing along with her song, Freeway. Take a look:

And here's the original video of her song, Freeway:

And here's a utterly shameless plug for my son, Gabe Collie, and his friend, Zack Cohen, singing Sublime's Santeria. They have never met Ms. Mann and are still mulling over taking part in her contest:

Charlie Bit Me: The Mash-ups

Downloading your cute laughing and biting babies onto YouTube poses certain risks.
Well, yeah.

But let's be clear about this. Your biting baby named Charlie may not only become the source of techno remixes but gay porn parodies. (We can't show you that one, but go to Funny or Die.)

We posted the original "Charlie Bit Me" clip a few months ago, but in case you missed it, the original:

Next, the techno remix:

There's also any number of amateur parodies. Check this out:

"The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner," to music

This works particularly well. A good marriage of music and movie.

Arcade Fire + Sergio Leone

This was on our site about a month ago, but we're posting it again today. It's excellent. If you read today's Lifestyle piece, this is the fan-made video setting scenes from "Once Upon a Time in the West" to Arcade Fire's "My Body is a Cage." The video by J. Tyler Helms has even earned props from Bruce Springsteen.

More on this from the story: "On his blog, Helms sounded amazed at the success of his fusion: 'The Boss himself. Honored doesn't begin to say it.' "


Here's the video:

Do you like scary movies?

If you are a fan of scary movies, then you’ll love the video, “Scary Mary.”

It’s a re-edit of the classic “Mary Poppins” film, made into a horror movie trailer.

Check out other re-edited films and movie trailer mash-ups at thetrailermash.com. Among the top rated trailers include a remake of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” as a thriller and the “Shining” as a romantic comedy.

Space Jams

Sometimes, little gifts like this clip fall in your lap.

Like when it’s nearly 11 p.m. and you’re doing random searches for YouTube videos that don’t involve Ron Paul nor contain the Seven Words That Can’t Be Posted On This Blog Or We’ll Get In Huge Trouble.

All I’ll say is, it’s amazing what you can do with an old Return of the Jedi clip and a harmonica track.
