So this week, I saw two particularly "WTF"-type music videos. Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)" takes place in some kind of weird, twisted dimension where Katy Perry is stuck in an awkward 13-year-old, nerd-supreme alter ego's body, and Rebecca Black (yes, that Rebecca Black) throws wild parties that are attended by the Hanson brothers, half the cast of Glee, and Kenny G. Also, Corey Feldman is "Kathy Beth Perry"'s day. Needless to say, when you get past the weird alternate-dimension, why-are-glee-and-friday-always-getting-mashed-together aspect of it, it is a hilarious video. Check it out:
And despite what Katy Perry says, if they are passed out, there is a strict "NO TOUCHING" rule.
The second video is Lonely Island's "Jack Sparrow," featuring Michael Bolton. Yes, Michael Bolton. This video shares the same "wait... what?" factor in the cameos as Katy Perry's video. This song is funny enough on it's own, but if you watch the actual video it gets about 10 times funnier. And the chorus (sung by Mr. Bolton) is mad catchy. And hilarious. Did I mention that? Check it out:
I dare you not to be yelling "THIS IS THE TALE, OF CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW," at random people within the next hour.

Ka-Boom!
Happy forth of July to all those Americans out there!
Yeah, so maybe July 4th was yesterday. It's the thought that counts, right? Better late than never? Some other cliche expression? Cooool.
Being that I am Canadian, not American, I'm more of a July first kinda kid. Ya know, Happy Canada Day! Seeing as it was a cloudy, not-so-summery day, it didn't feel particularly celebratory. However, I did watch the firework by Waterfront, with the Olympic flame burning bright behind me, so I suppose I did get into the Canadian spirit a little. I attempted to photograph the fireworks as well. Keep in mind, this is the first time I'd tried this, and I didn't have a tripod (or much patience, really). Here are the (somewhat disappointing) results...
Alright, so those are just a few. The smaller they are, the better they look. Admittedly though, definitely not my best.
In hopes of redeeming myself, here's a sweet song a friend showed me...
On Melancholy Hill, Gorillaz
Here are a few interesting things about this video:
1) The song in this video doesn't start until about 0:34
2) The ship is under attack! By pirates! (But don't worry, the little masked girl has it under control with her big gun)
3) Snoop Dogg makes an appearance? (2:10)
4) I think I might be imagining this, but in some parts (ex. 1:04), I swear that in the background there is a quiet, garbled "Al-eh-foryaaaa"... as in "California"... like from the song "California Gurls" by Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg. Coincidence? I honestly don't know. (Side note: California Gurls video = confusing and weird on so many levels)
5) 2:19-2:24 makes me smile. That's all.
Hope you enjoy this rad song!
