YouTube: Axis of Awesome Four Chord Song

Richy C. — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 19:28:01 +0000

I’ve found a YouTube video I’ve been hunting for for a few months now – “Four Chord song” by Axis of Awesome: basically, they don’t think they’ve had a hit record because they’ve never release a single with a song with these four chords which are used in practically every popular beat combo:

Music: Take On Me…Literally (and more)

Richy C. — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 13:57:23 +0000

Via Kottke (who found it via Andre) is A Ha’s famous “Take on Me” video: but the lyrics to the song have been modified to fit the video. Very funny:

Of course, there’s also the Family Guy version with Chris Griffin:

and the Mario Paint Composer version:

And the first version of A-Ha’s Music video (without the brilliant rotoscoping):

Music: Noah and the Whale – 5 years time

Richy C. — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 17:51:02 +0000

I don’t normally blog about music (in fact, I think the OK Go – Here it goes again post was the only other one), but Ben Hanbury had this video of “Noah and The Whale” performing “5 years time” on his site which I quite liked (slightly reminiscent of a Brimful of Asha):

Fun: Netherlands Advert – Numa Numa

Richy C. — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 15:24:22 +0000

Here’s a funny advert I’ve just seen online – it’s originally from a games distributor in the Netherlands, but the look on somebody’s face on it is hilarious.

Yes, the music in it is Numa Numa (Dragostea din tei) which rose to internet fame with Gary Brolsma in this famous video

YouTube: McDonalds Adverts In Japan

Richy C. — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:30:12 +0000

A few years ago, I went to Japan (flying Lufthansa, booked via Expedia) and a couple of days I went into the McDonalds there and it was quite different. First of all: you put your money in a tray and the cashier picked it up from the tray, secondly they allowed smoking inside and thirdly they had recycling bins for paper, plastic cups and ‘undrunk drinks/ice’ (along with an “other”).

However, I didn’t see any of the following adverts whilst I was there – which was a shame… If only McD’s ran these ads here…
