Eddie Vedder and Tom Petty - The Waiting & American Girl

by Carmen Cruz


Those lucky bastards in Amsterdam!
Tom Petty has been touring Europe (so has Pearl Jam) and the other night Eddie decided to jump on stage at one of Petty's shows and help the old man out. Yes, fans there were serenaded by Eddie Vedder AND Tom Petty.
Pretty sweet huh?!?!?!?!

Here they are singing 'The Waiting' and 'American Girl'.







Enjoy!

Eddie Vedder and Shakira Impersonators. WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!!

by Carmen Cruz


My brother showed me these videos. This is from a Chilean show called 'Mi Nombre Es' (translation: My name is).  Basically, people who believe they sound like famous singers show their talent.
This dude claims to sound like Eddie Vedder. It will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!  The video of this guy singing is compared along side to the actual video of Senor Vedder himself. AMAZING!!!





What makes this even MORE amazing is that this guy doesn't speak a word of English! Believe it!!!

Check out Chris Cornell's reaction to this dude!





This one totally weirded me out. This guy calls himself 'Shakiro'. He sounds EXACTLY like... yup! Shakira!!! Do me a favour and close your eyes when you watch the video the first time.



So 'Shakiro' had a chance to meet the actual Shakira. Check it out!



Enjoy!

Cool, yet inappropriate songs.

by Carmen Cruz


You know what I'm talking about. Those songs that you love to hear or sing along to, yet the lyrics themselves are either ridiculous, gross, or perverted. Here's a list of my beloved cool, naughty or awkward songs. Enjoy!



Primus ~ Wynona's Big Brown Beaver.   A perfect song to enjoy during the Calgary Stampede, si? I know a lot of people who really hate this song, while a few others (like me) love it. Watch the music video and you might love it even more. And besides, why would you dislike a song about the noble and majestic beaver?!?!?! Tee hee! ;D



King Missile ~ Detachable Penis. "I woke up this morning with a bad hangover and my penis was missing again. This happens all the time. It's detachable". A one hit wonder from King Missile. A useless, yet hilarious song. Believe it or not, lead singer John S. Hall is first and foremost, a poet. This song is... poetry? Maybe. It's funny, more than anything.

Chuck Berry ~ My Ding-A-ling. Try to not to sing along. You'll have this song stuck in your head all day. I promise.


Tiny Tim ~ Tip Toe Through The Tulips. I admit it. I love this song. Tiny Tim is so awkward and so weird & I find this incredibly endearing.  He's scary looking as hell though. Perhaps, he's a distant relative to the wicked witch of the west from the Wizard of Oz? I don't know why, but this song always makes me smile. It's silly, and awkwardly cool. Tiny Tim is the original ukelele man. Now everyone's playing the ukelele. Take Eddie Vedder for example. He has a new album out where he plays the ukelele through the entire disk. Cool. Me likey.






Snoop Dogg ft Nate Dogg, Warren G, Kurupt ~ Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None). **This tune is NOT for the kiddies. If you're listening to this at work, put on some headphones**. I know all the lyrics to this song. I get all 'Latina gangsta' every time I hear it. I start throwing out gang signs and get my rap on. Awkward. A truly romantic tune. Tee hee!!!!







Cazwell ~ Ice Cream Truck. **Explicit Video Caution. Watch it when the boss isn't around**. Most ladies (and gay gents) should genuinely enjoy Caswell's videos. Cazwell is a rapper from the US, who is  openly gay. His tunes have a gay/ bisexual theme to them. Now if you're deeply offended by this, I apologize in advance, but at the same time, if you're ANTI-GLBT (gay/lesbian/bisexual / transgender), then you're not someone who is in my 'friends book'. I'm straight (I love the boys, hence why I love Caswell's videos) and I have many, many, MANY GLBT friends and family members who I deeply love and respect. So keep and open mind my lovelies! Caswell's tunes are ridiculously catchy. CHECK OUT THIS ONE. I'm STILL singing it all the time!!! "Get my money back, get my money back...". But what's the deal with the monkey costumes? Whatever. It's still eye candy ;D. Those boys can D-A-N-C-E!!!!


Presidents Of The United States Of America (PUSA) ~ Peaches.   
I love these guys. They're the king (or president?) of silly tunes. So what's this song about? What inspired it? Lead singer Chris Ballew said he wrote this song about a girl he once had a crush on. He supposedly wrote this song after sitting under a peach tree she had in her yard while waiting for her to arrive, to finally let her know that he liked her. Awwww. On a side note, lead singer Chris Ballew also writes music for kiddies that won't drive parents nuts! He does this under the name of 'Caspar Babypants' and has already released 3 albums. Cool. I'm not sure why, but I'm convinced that these guys would be really cool to meet.


That's it, for now....
