Thanks, spoco. I was wondering the same thing myself. The sift is weird sometimes.

*promote, as how has it been here for a day and not been queued yet? Madness

This is friggen seven shades of awesome. Not only is it pure awesomeness just from the great song and lyrics and it's perfect rip of so many ballads, especially those of the early 90s... but THEN it adds metric tons of celebrities.

That is pure, shiny awesomeness in my book. If this doesn't get to number one, or at least top 5... then the sift is broken.

while i feel that ballads are so against metal... i still love Lemmy.. who can't???
The ugliest man in history getting the most poon!! Everyone looks like hell in this video don't they... geez

Ah roomie zoom zim, I'm all to be wet
To rhymealinda I remember umm, when we first met
In eighty-two back in school used to play up all the fools
Sometimes you'd be my number fives sometimes you'd be my twenty-two
But umm, screw the dumbshit, cause little rhymea's true
I can't wait to say I do and oh yeah honey there's no due
I got my chariot, rollin, now I'm mic controllin
Got some spunk in my funk, I can't wait to put some soul in
We're rollin all strikes, we're havin little tykes
One is little mike the other's ike I'm sure that you would like
To hold em, or maybe stroll em on their little bikes
When they're born, I've sworn, to bring em up right
You know, dope is how I breed em, beats is what I'll feed em
They'll be healthy like a health nut I'm sure you shake your butt
(kick the verse preacher) and I won't disperse
Here's my life rhymealinda for better or for worse

Well it's done she tagged me, duck duck goose
I'm batter up I can't sleep the fly brotha must produce
The power pack and I'm stacked like a forty-five mag
Straight up tennis shoes in my pants there's a sag
Droppin so much grammar gotta slam it down my mouth
Shup? I met a slut she, put me in the rut g
With the dip that was down with me from the whole front
Now front me never too cool how-ever
I gotta get the bread, gotta get the butter
Fix it up eat down throw it in the gutter
(gutter dreamed it) sour, (creamed it) gotta
Skinny-dipped into her ass as if it was a pool of water
Now the water's gettin hotter so I bought her a new ring
Maybe a love ballad is the song I sing
I gotta kiss her ass my tongue I hold before I curse
If you really want me bitch, take me for better or for worse

Well this is the final chapter hello?
Of me, we're going to rack up who is this?
In tune, in tune, in tune, a button why are you calling my house?
A button, a button! oh c'mon, honey who is this? what?
Would you come along with me down mike is that you?
The lane and I will pick your brain oh my god. who is this?

I'll take a hammer and start to drill don't call my house
Your skull, and then I'll really start oh my god, what is this
Picking, your brains cells, I will be what? I'm gonna call the cops
Licking, mmm mmm mmm mmmm! *slurp* okay? quit fucking around
You taste so intelligent, ahhhhhh hello, who is this?
Yes yes yes, you trusted me, now help, who is this? what
I busted thee, top of your skull are you doing? why are you
You thought the day was going to be calling me?
Dull? ? I'll make it very exciting
I took your fingers then I started who are you? why are you
Biting, and then I scraped the meat calling my house?
Off, the bone, of your leg stop calling here!
Ahhahhh, you tried to make me beg don't call here anymore
But I had to insist, I had to insist
Iayaay, run up your pussy with my fist aieeeeeeeeeeeee!
Okay, I think we've gone a little bit I'm gonna call the cops!
Overboard, don't stop it yet fuck you don't call my house!!

Yo, I'm audi geee
No doubts manufactured

Of the people in the l.a.
See the brothers needs some type of education
And you know, some type of foundation, in the, uhh
Community, cause the mute-co, duhh, the community
Grows like seeds, and the seeds will not fall from
The tree if you don't water the grass
So nigga get off your rusty black asssahhhh
Like this... nanananananana, like this
You can get with this, or you can get with that
I think you get with this because fat lip's fat
Fat fat fat fat fat fat fat *echoes* *laughter*

Aiy rhasaan, rhasaan, imani, imani I think you should

This guy is a complete fucking wacko, who thinks he's Captain America, or at least, that he's an actor who's going to be the next Captain America.

"Guys, look what I found at IMDB!" from Marvel.com forums

The thread above, linked from the Cracked Forums thread, is an amazing piece of internet douche-baggery. I'm positive that the "super-excited" posters are all just Ben Ryan (the stalker from this video) attempting to generate internet buzz about himself. It's hilarious, disgusting, narcissistic bullshit.

Let me summarize: Narcissist makes an IMDB post about how perfect he would be as Captain America. Narcissist then makes another post Marvel forums about IMDB post. Narcissist then replies to his own post using various other accounts, to declare how great this is.

My entire lunch-break has been wasted-slash-made-awesome tracking down the bits and pieces of this ridiculous story.

The parody video from Sanchez was pretty funny:

specifically, Chopin's Ballade #1

Thanks for the Promote on this one - it got a few more votes but it seems to be slow to sift.
I just need the right people to see it I guess...
Historically, It's pretty cool though... Cheers!

Thanks for the promote, Much appreciated!!
Though I am sad to say, It's still not getting a ton of hits.
I posted it to Facebook the other day and I've been getting more action there. Strange!
Always make me thing of Steve Earle's "Copperhead Road" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc86_Weoye0

Upvote for Nimoy's "dickheads" comment. Now I want to see Bilbo Baggins remixed with dickhead audio clips somehow...

Growing up in a radio Station, (my mom has worked in the same station my entire life), I have just always been around rock and roll. I remember meeting everyone that came through town, even Wolfman Jack on several occasions. There were so many, and I was young, I don’t even remember names…. You just don’t care at that age when you are around it all the time.

I used to get all the demo records to bring home. I remember at one of my birthday parties (10th?) I gave out 45s as party favors. (Five to each guest.)

My mom had a collection of 5-600 albums and several hundred original 45s with songs like “Robert Mitchum-
Ballad OF Thunder Road (1958), Janie Grant-Greasy Kids Stuff (1962) 45’s by Jan & Dean, Beach Boys, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, Little Richard, Richie Vallens, Elvis and that era. I remember putting on CCR albums as young as 6 or 7 years old.

My personal first 45s were Kiss-Beth, Jerry Doucette-Mama Let him play, Eagles-Liyin’ Eyes. My first Albums were Kiss, Rock and Roll Over and Bay City Rollers.

Into grade eight, my favorites became stuff like, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Kiss, ACDC, the Ramones, The Cramps, The Moody Blues, Meatloaf, Styx and so much more. At one point I amassed over 1000 albums…

I thinned my selection down after getting married thinning down to around 50-100 albums and cassettes and have regretted it ever since. Music has been such a large part of my and there is a story to go with every song I ever remembered.

My first Rock Concert was Red Rider, opening for them was (Don’t laugh) Honeymoon Suite !!!

Long live the Music!
