Kraftwerk’s The Bleep proves that everything sounds a lot naughtier when you censor it.

This is a bit off topic, but it just about made me blow coffee out my nose, so I thought you might enjoy it, too.

This video follows the path of Al, a sound technician with a hidden dream.

Al takes us on a voyage of sympathy, anger, revenge, regret and even redemption. Followed by punishment.

Give it a look and let me know what you think!

The video was shot and edited entirely on the road of the Simply Red tour.

Autobahn is the fictitional techno-pop band, Kraftwerk parody, from The Big Lebowski.

Some Big Lebowski Autobahn trivia for you:

• The Autobahn album cover is stylistically similar to the cover of the Kraftwerk classic, Man-Machine.
• The title of their album, Nagelbett, is German for “nail bed.”
• Song titles on the Autobahn LP Nagelbett include: Saturation, Faking It, Hit and Run, No Way Out, Violate U-Blue, Beg me, Take It In and the classic Edelweiss (Club mix).
• They are nihilists…..nothing to be afraid of.

There was an assignment in my class in which we were to give a short presentation on pretty much any subject. I decided to make a music video.

I tried to answer the questions in a comment reply but youtube is lagging and it won’t show up. I’ll answer them here:

This was made on a macbook pro 17″

I got an A++ on it, a 26/25

A classmate left a comment on Perezhilton.com. It said “The professor loved this video in class, we were all rollin when she played this and I guarentee she got an “A+”. It was for a Concepts class”.

I didn’t get in trouble. Few subjects are taboo in the art classes at USF.

Rap Chop featuring Vince (Slap Chop remix) is one of many Slap Chop remixes on YouTube – and part of a growing meme of people remixing infomercials for nefarious purposes.

I like that this recontextualizes something that you would normally hate into a commentary on the original that you can sing along to.

Keytar: Impossible – may make you want to poke someone’s eyes out.

A bunch of cuts. 10 minutes of choosing crappy Garageband loops. 4 minutes of shooting. A couple hours editing.

I know. This is the best thing you’ve ever seen…

This video, Learn How To Dance To Electronic Music, doesn’t lose much because of the language barrier, does it?

My favorite dance?

Tjernobyl Child Play Ping Pong.

This strange little parody of Kraftwerk, Kraftwurst, replaces Die Mensch-Maschine with pork products.

See how many Kraftwerk references you can spot!

Peter Kirn, the guru behind Create Digital Music, has apparently descended into the depths of Hell, only to return with this video, AutoTune. 

We offer it here in the hope that it will help make his trip worthwhile. Lyrics below.

Don’t miss Kirn’s post about the history of AutoTune at his very nice (twitch twitch) CDM site.

The AutoTune Song:

(Chorus)

We’ll I was in the studio/
But i couldn’t hit the notes/
I could’ve got a vocal coach/
But i ain’t want no vocal coach/
Then someone showed me this plug-in/
So you can’t hear the notes i miss/
So i don’t need no vocalist/
And now i got an instant hit/

(Verse)

When I come through I’m a boss/
Everything i do i just floss/
And you know what I’m doing/
When do it, everything that i do is just real!/
And you know i ain’t playing, im just saying man/
Everything in my brain is playing/
When im on the mic im blazing!/
Man who am I? Just like a super-saiyan/
Man I’m just saying!/
When I’m in the booth man I’m never, never playing/
And let me just quit it/
When I’m on the mic these lyrics i kick it/
And it’s so exquisite/
Man i divide it up just like digits/
May i get a witness/
All up in church on sunday man, give it!/

(Chorus)

Another fun find via DeadAct – Zlad’s Supersonic Electronic – could be the worst synthpop music video ever, but the keytar goddess may just redeem it. 

Zladko “Zlad!” Vladcik is a fictional character of the equally fictional nation of Molvanîa.

If Mozart did techno, it might sound something like this. 

Or it might not. 

Warning: the links on YouTube for this video are just redirects to adult sites so the dude can make some $$$’s.

This post may bring out the right-wing hater synth fan brigade, but this video, from the Bam Factory (RevoLucian and Don Phillips, Jr.), is pretty funny and does a great job of remixing recent political speeches from Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and others.
