mashuptastic awesomeness

Video from LMFAO with very different soundtrack, and it matches up wonderfully.

The original video includes a riff on 28 days later. The original music is from a place long ago far far away.

ETA: I AM LAUGHING SO HARD I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY BREATHING BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO. (It's the mis-heard lyrics version of "O Fortuna" from "Carmina Burana". With animation.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ6zr6kCPj8#t=3m39s seems to be the right spot in the original, if you want to spring that on people first. :^)

AWESOME

Wow. The O Fortuna video just goes to show how perception is not what it seems. Not knowing the actual words, or even what language it was in, I watched the video, and I (mostly) heard what it said on the screen. Then I pulled up the lyrics and watched it again, and I (mostly) heard the actual lyrics, and furthermore had no idea how it had sounded minutes earlier like what it said on the screen.

the amount of filling in and completion that the brain does is really quite staggering.

I love the octopus.

[rmd.livejournal.com]

yes! the octopus is what pushed me over from 'i am crying i am laughing so hard' into 'unable to breathe'

You know, I'd already seen both the mashup and the original...and yet I STILL just spent an hour surfing YouTube from your links. DAMMIT, INTERNET!!!!!

you are one of those people (like me) who should stay the heck away from tvtropes.org.

Yay, another geek likes pop music! (My son has developed a taste for it, so I'm listening in order to check lyrics, but I have to confess that I do like it...)

Speaking of bands like LMFAO, this little gem via Metafilter:

Why is it that orchestra flashmobs like doing "O Fortuna"?

(this one is well done, it's worth watching it a second time to play spot the folks before they start performing)
