Ridiculously Funny Videos of Songs w/ Misheard Lyrics

Ever hear a song and think that you know exactly what they're saying and realize later that you were way off? Happens to me all the time. These guys did a great job of picking some songs and incorporating text and related graphics to all these misheard lyrics.

I've included a couple in the post, but you can find all of them on YouTube by searching for "misheard lyrics".


Some other gems:
Sean Paul - We Be Burnin'
Queen - We Will Rock You
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue

Tesla Coils Playing Original Marios Bros Theme Music

This is just awesome. Using no speakers, just Twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils are used to play the Mario Bros Soundtrack.

Description from YouTube:
Twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils playing Mario Bros theme song at the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon sponsored by DC Cox (Resonance Research Corp) in Baraboo WI.
The music that you hear is coming from the sparks that these two identical high power solid state Tesla coils are generating. There are no speakers involved. The Tesla coils stand 7 feet tall and are each capable of putting out over 12 foot of spark. They are spaced about 18 feet apart. The coils are controlled over a fiber optic link by a single laptop computer. Each coil is assigned to a midi channel which it responds to by playing notes that are programed into the computer software. These coils were constructed by Steve Ward and Jeff Larson. Video was captured by Terry Blake. What is not obvious is how loud the coils are. They are well over 110dB If you look at another You Tube video which is from a different angle, you can hear the echo off the building and get a better idea of how loud it is. (less)

Just How Badly Do You Want a Wii?

All the research notes, press articles, information superhighway stops say that the Nintendo Wii will continue to be available in limited quantities through the holiday season and into 2008.

Some people have some pretty strong feelings about just how much they want to buy a Wii. A good sample of these feelings are covered in this music video which is based loosely on T-Pain's "Buy U a Drank"
