Tex Williams - Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette
Posted by Pete Berg on Friday, March 12th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
My latest song addiction is the 1947 Tex Williams hit, “Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette)”…I have been listening to this on loop all day. It’s so damn catchy! This is an anti-smoking song, but it’s not because they’re unhealthy (”I don’t reckon’ that they hinder your health”), it’s because smoking takes a long time and makes other people wait. But after listening to this chorus about a zillion times, holy crap, all I want to do is start smoking cigarettes!!
There are two performances here…the first one is one of the originals from the ’40s, but it’s a bit out of sync. The other one features an older Tex Williams a few decades later…but he’s still got it.

Eduard Khil the “Trololo” man sings 44 years after his famous song
Posted by Pete Berg on Friday, March 12th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
One of the latest viral sensations is the known as “Trololo guy,” which I posted here on Pie Heaven a few weeks ago. Well, someone tracked down the Soviet singer 44 years later…his name is Eduard Khil and this was his signature song, and apparently a big hit in the USSR back in the ’60s.
The song’s translated title is “I’m very glad, because I’m going back home” and, according to Khil, is “in fact about an American who returns home through the prairies, and his beloved Mary waits for him at home and knits a woolen sock for him.”

Alice at the Palace
Posted by Nate Brown on Friday, March 5th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
Sad you can’t see a good Alice in Wonderland? Meryl Streep and Mark Lynn Baker (’Perfect Stranger’s” Cousin Larry) star in this musical from 1981. The Jabberwock stuff in the second one is particularly great.

Alice in Wonderland (1903)
Posted by Pete Berg on Monday, March 1st, 2010 at 10:20 am
Forget Tim Burton’s version…this adaptation of “Alice in Wonderland” was made over 100 years ago, when Walt Disney was still in his diapers. The very first film version of Alice in Wonderland was made in 1903, and only one (damaged) print of the early film remains. With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at that time. Film archivists have managed to restore the film to a watchable version for the first time in over 100 years.

Mormon cartoon explains how black people were created, and other crazy shit
Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, January 21st, 2010 at 3:19 pm
This is how the world came about, according to Mormons. This is clearly a video created to slam the Mormons by highlighting the more ridiculous and crazy of their beliefs… (I would guess it was probably created by fundamentalist Christians who are of course equally crazy.) But my goodness gracious, people sure do believe a lot of bullshit, and most of it is really backward and racist.

The Dinosaurs series finale
Posted by Pete Berg on Monday, January 11th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
You probably remember watching “The Dinosaurs” when you are a kid, but do you remember how the series ended? In this final episode of the series, “Changing Nature,” the Dinosaurs cause a series of events leading to doomsday and the extinction of all dinosaurs…and this is dad dinosaur’s Earl Sinclair’s speech, which concludes the show. WTF. So damn depressing.

Get The Picture: The greatest episode of TV in the history of the world, ever
Posted by Pete Berg on Saturday, January 9th, 2010 at 9:11 am
A few years ago, my good friend Dan Shott happened to press “record” during Nick Gas upon seeing a particularly geeky looking kid at the beginning of an episode of “Get The Picture” on Nick Gas. What unfolded was the greatest episode of TV in the history of mankind. This is the most unintentionally funny episode ever, and my roommates and I have made it a tradition to (drunkenly) watch this episode at least once a month. And yes, we have every line memorized and quote along. It’s like Rocky Horror Picture show for drunks.
The Highlights: The kid falling for EVERY trick question (”Australia?” “Meteors?”). Every one of Mike O’Malley’s awkward turns of phrase and jokes that fall flat. And the amazing hand motion the kid does at 15:35, which has been dubbed the: “Fist Pump Down Up Down Double Tap Jerk Off Arsenio Swoop to Rejected High Five”
Get The Picture from Shott on Vimeo.

“This may be the dawn of the electronic home”

A look at the high-tech electronic consumer gadgets released in 1983. Cassette players, mini televisions, and robots were the big hits.

What English Sounds Like To Foreigners
Posted by Sean Brogan on Monday, December 21st, 2009 at 12:15 pm
An Italian singer performs a rock piece whose lyrics are gibberish intended to sound like English. Entitled “What English Sounds Like to Foreigners,” the video is meant to illustrate which English phonemes and syllables carry into the foreign ear. I think the subtitles kind of ruin it, but it’s still a great song
