AIlvis has left the building!

I'm pretty sure the Honky Tonk Creep was in Slither.

I still can't get Bodies (Kids Version) out of my head.

And the song he made to scare his child but he had to take down, Baby Shark & Slipknot.

I use his channel and Neil Cicierega's Mouth albums to annoy my wife.

My wife quite likes Elvis and she is horrified by this, much to my amusement.

There I Ruined It is a terrific name for a channel.
The lip-syncing is great.
So far I liked the North Korean one best, but Straight Outta Compton is terrific too.

Same guy, different alias, even more genius: The Anti-Hero That I Get.

I am reminded of what Jimmy Page said about Tiny Tim's rendition of Stairway to Heaven: Thank God, someone finally killed that song.

If he takes requests, my wife (Kitteh, here) and I have fantasized about a Primus cover of "Get Low" by Flo Rida for years now.

We do have Ice Ice Matrix, featuring the cast of the movie trilogy with an added middle break by Wilford Brimley. I'm not sure that can be topped.

Holy gosh, There I Ruined It and DJ Cummerbund are the SAME GUY?! I'm flabbergasted!

If you haven't heard "Oohwa Mahna" yet, listen to it right the dang now. You can thank/curse me later.

UPDATE: It appears they are not the same person.

As a fan of Elvis and Mix-A-Lot, I kind of love this.

Looking forward to finally hearing Billie Holiday's Christmas record (as imagined by David Sedaris).

The best Radiohead Country/Blugrass crossover is Hard n Phirm's Rodeohead.

I legit love this.
