Yoko Ono covers Katy Perry's "Fireworks"

PalmliX says...

nope, this is freakin hilarious, she's a comedic genius. It's made even better by the fact that the piano playing is so bog standard.

*edit* OK turns out the piano was added after as a joke, there's a version of this with the star spangled banner, with Adele etc... In reality she sang this acapella. I'm kind of disappointed now.. but I have to admit I did laugh.

History of the Union Jack

NetRunner says...

I hadn't thought of just how hard it is to notice that you've got the Union Jack upside down.

Obviously it'd make flying it upside down as a sign of distress less effective than when you do the same with the Star Spangled Banner...

Wonder Woman's Super Powers On-Disply For You

kronosposeidon says...

Ha, I must have been typing up my mini-rant when you wrote this. Yes, I suppose her main power not found in the pages is to give woodrows to many fanboys.

And FYI: She rarely uses the invisible jet anymore. She mostly uses it to transport people or equipment, but even this is very infrequent.

But she still likes to give hugs!>> ^NetRunner:

She also has super-strength, super-agility, can deflect bullets with her bracelets, throw her tiara like a boomerang, fly an invisible jet, and talk to animals.
Yes, her main power is to make boys have a fetish for star-spangled panties, red leather boots, and golden-eagle bustiers, but there are others...

Macy Gray - "I Try"

Bfresh99 says...

She flubbed the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner live, so that kills it for me. Not so much the song she flubbed, but she's a professional singer. Learn the lyrics, Macy. And stop shooting heroin.

Peter Paul & Mary - Puff the Magic Dragon

Sagemind says...

No, "Puff, the Magic Dragon" is not about marijuana, or any other type of drug. It is what its writers have always claimed it to be: a song about the innocence of childhood lost.


The poem that formed the basis of the song "Puff, the Magic Dragon" was written in 1959 by Leonard Lipton, a nineteen-year-old Cornell student. Lipton was inspired by an Ogden Nash rhyme about a "Really-O Truly-O Dragon," and, using a dragon as the central figure, he came up with a poem about the end of childhood innocence. Lipton passed his work along to a friend, fellow Cornell student (and folk music enthusiast) Peter Yarrow, who put a melody to the words and wrote additional lyrics to create the song "Puff, the Magic Dragon." After Yarrow teamed up with Mary Travers and Paul Stookey in 1961 to form Peter, Paul & Mary, the trio performed the song in live shows; their 1962 recording of "Puff" reached #2 on the Billboard charts in early 1963.


The 1960s being what they were, however, any song based on oblique or allegorical lyrics was subject to reinterpretation as a "drug song," and so it was with "Puff." (For Peter, Paul & Mary, at least, the revelation that their song was "really" about marijuana came after the song had finished its chart run; other groups were not so fortunate, and accusations of "drug lyrics" caused some radio stations to ban songs such as the Byrds' "Eight Miles High" from their playlists.) "Puff" was an obvious name for a song about smoking pot; little Jackie Paper's surname referred to rolling papers; "autumn mist" was either clouds of marijuana smoke or a drug-induced state; the land of "Hanah Lee" was really the Hawaiian village of Hanalei, known for its particularly potent marijuana plants; and so on. As Peter Yarrow has demonstrated in countless concert performances, any song — even "The Star-Spangled Banner" — can be interpreted as a "drug song."
