That was quite a bit different than what I was expecting. Surprisingly enjoyable post.

As for cognitive dissonance: Meh. Ellen has been easing the soccer moms into gangsta rap for a few years now, and in this post-"Oprah's tossed salad" world, where a K Records lo-fite like Kimya Dawson can utter the phrase "blew a little load out of the bottom of your pants" in the presence of the mighty Ms. Walters, it's hard to find anything all that jarring anymore.

The audio guys on the show were all making fun of his $40,000 diamond-studded mic, which actually contained about $39,750 worth of diamonds and "one cheap-ass microphone" inside....

Also, for a little more fun....camera blocking that morning.

I could not get the Red Lasso link to work but watching the vid on youtube all I could think was... you could put Weird Al in this vid, not change a single thing about the video or a single word from the song and it'd be legit. And probably a bigger hit than it will as it is.

God damn Red Lasso froze my entire machine and made me to a hard restart.

I won't say who he is, but I will say he knows it's up there. And that he's the bravest man I know.

nevercalm, that was all kinds of awesome and a great addition to this already sort of quirkyweird post.

If Red Lasso is giving your machine a seizure, try this embed at PopCrunch.

His rhymes are so potent that in that small segment, he made all the ladies in the audience pregnant.

AMAZING post. Thank you. I love this song.

I've been fascinated with this song since Anil Dash's appreciative comments. It performs quite well live with a classic motown chorus behind him. It makes perfect sense to me that he's on The View, a demonstration that our society is truly decadent and permissive.

And wow, he's awesome in that interview. He's so shy and sweet. Arm almost around Barbara Walters, but not quite touching her. Sprawled in the middle of the couch with his knees spread, yet hand shyly hiding his basket. Laughing sweetly and nervously at the women's silly jokes, a bit awkward and yet totally cool.

I watched more of the camera blocking video than the actual performance, and I enjoyed it a whole lot more, too. nevercalm, that was awesome.

That was where I started laughing, that whole clip was great.

Anyone catch what Babs says at the end of the redlasso (The View) link? Something along the lines of "Listen to him guys, thats how to treat a women"

Thats when my head exploded.






I'd go back and check the exact wording, but it would crash my computer ;)
