Close Encounters with the dad whacker

"Haha that dog looks so autistic" --me, a couple days ago

The other day, I heard a colleague of mine say the acronym GIP, which stands for generic information system or something. But he actually said the letters out loud.

Yes. That's right. He said Gee I Pee.

I was going to say this out loud too, but then I remembered we were adults having a mature conversation. So I suppressed my laughter- very poorly I think, I have been told that I am terrible at concealing my smile.

Keeping the ball rolling

"omg...they shoulda called assassin 'killer' " --retarded friend
  
In my previous post I covered some of the moving pictures of 2015, so if you missed that you can go catch up right now by clicking the link or scrolling a long way down.
oh god what the hell are these pratchett covers
Next up are the songs of 2015. Unfortunately I'm a pleb when it comes to music, so it's gonna be all mainstream pop songs, like nothing you won't see on billboard and in the tabloids and that crap. Deal with it. Also I'm going to be a bit more serious so consider this my apology* if you aren't thoroughly confusedovertaken with gutbusting laughter. No ratings this time because I fell off the wagon almost immediately last time. Rest assured, I wouldn't post something here if I didn't think you should at least give it the best you've got a shot.

Downtown Crunk - Mars Bar
"I'm going to get nightmares from this" --family member, upon watching the music video
Fifth Harmony did a cover on this, if you're into that sort of thing. I mean, you could get cooties just from thinking about those broads. Absolutely Disgusting. Certainly not suitable for this wholesome family blog. But yeah, this jam is like a blast from the past, straight from the 90s or whatever funky era. Yer a wizard, Bruno! (and mark. o hai mark)



100% Lean meat - Lazer Feet, Mou ikkai!
Yeah I don't know if this was actually released in 2015 but it's trending so whatever. It's catchy enough, with that sort of Arabian wailing. Was at the top of the charts for most pirated song at one point. Not that I would know of such things. Fun fact: The vocalist's handle means virgin in Norse.
Personally I think Pentatonix's cover is a vast improvement, so here it is.


River Lea - Dell Computers, Inc.

I'm sure if you follow music at all you're familiar with Adelly's "Heller, itsame!". Long story short, Big face woman is very talented at turning ostensibly mature adults into huge crybabies.

The seventh song in the same album (25), the "River Lea" is not nearly as well known as its frontrunner, but I found it much more moving. Truly great artists are capable of making even the most mundane occurrences seem magical, and despite its misery filled metaphor this melody has a mesmerizing, mystical touch to it. I've not seen its like in any of Adele's other pieces. Unfortunately the original audio is not available on Youtube, so I cannot share its haunting beauty with you at this time. If you happen to find it, please let me know.
