SATURDAY SING-ALONG (Because we were busy Friday): 29/31

Rodrigo Lopez got me hooked on Garfunkel and Oates, and their latest 29/31 is full of humor, spirit, and is very well done.

There’s some NSFW language in the song, so keep the speaker turned down at your cubicle. We don’t want to be responsible for you getting fired for creating a hostile work environment…

If you haven’t heard of Garfunkel and Oates, you may be familiar with their song, F**K You that appeared on Scrubs. Though on Scrubs, it was tweaked quite a bit. Both versions after the jump.

FRIDAY SING-ALONG: The Hobbit

I’m sure there will be plenty of ballads that will appear in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit when it arrives in December.  Until then, listen to this melodic little ditty from Allie Goertz and her friend, Megan.

Well it is certainly better than that other Hobbit song.

FRIDAY SING-ALONG (Part 2): HOLY MUSICAL B@TMAN!

Major Spoilerite Elijah sent me this link, that was just too bizarre, insane, crazy to pass up!

Holy musical, Batman! It’s time for crime-fighting shenanigans with everyone’s second favorite superhero (right after Spider-Man). After witnessing the murder of his parents, a young billionaire makes a solemn vow to dress up like a bat and wage a one-man war on the rouges of Gotham. So get ready to see the Dark Knight the way you always dreamed of… singing and dancing!

10 Famous People Who Could Be Superheroes

 

The sad fact of the matter is that we live in a world where being exposed to radioactivity will kill you rather than allow you to grow 50 feet tall and shoot energy beams from your eyes. But what if we didn’t? What if we lived in the crazy world of comic book superheroes? Who, then, would the heroes of this world be? We could certainly guess, but fortunately we don’t have to. Since comics are always pretty specific about who gets to become a superhero. The signs are there, you just have to put it all together.
