I don’t know about you, but I often stumble on YouTube videos that are remarkable, or amusing, or so bad they’re good, etc. I thought there should be a thread for people to just post links to any videos they like for any reason (and they don’t have to be Beatles related). The only rule I’d want is for people who post to give a reason why they are posting the link. The reason can be any amount of words you like.
Here’s mine to kick things off:
Coloraturas:
Amazing vocalisms from the “crème de la crème” of singers (though I don’t expect anyone to listen to the whole thing, as it can get rather wearing…)

Great idea, love the thread name! I was just watching a video the other day I thought you’d all enjoy and now here’s the place to share it! (Although it was viral so maybe you’ve seen it.)
I’m sharing because this guy has some great vocal (and general musical) talent. While I don’t really care for the songs he has chosen, (newer pop stuff) he has taken the lyrics and basic music from those songs and performed them in the style of 20 different artists for each video. Here are his first two videos:

LOL, that’s unreal. He’s super talented. The Queen version was a little wack, but I laughed out loud at N’sync, Boyz II Men and Louis Prima in the first one and Ray Charles, Hootie and the Blowfish, Will Smith and Cab Calloway in the second. The fast rap ones were impressive.
And he definitely knows his hard rock/heavy metal.

Hah! The Muse one was great. That’s a pretty good interpretation, it’s crazy how he can switch styles so quick like that. And both of the songs he chose were better done by him than the original singer, in my opinion.

Offline @parlance The Hootie and the Boowfish one is my favorite part of the second! And the Will Smith and Louis Prima ones are also pretty funny.
@Bulldog, I agree. Much better than the originals. He seems to have a wide taste in music, so maybe the next one he does will be an older song in different styles. Or maybe the whole point is that it’s new stuff.

What I’m hoping is that he intentionally doesn’t pick good songs because he doesn’t want to mess with anything he actually enjoys listening to. That coupled with the fact that he’s using songs MOST people know and can identify (whether they like it or not.)

This is my favorite Christmas movie! The Christmas Tree (it is around 43 mins)
You maybe asking “Why Christmas? That is a long time from now.”
But I think this movie is so great, it can be watched anytime ever!

I have absolutely no clue why I’ve added that to my favourites, and no recollection of how I found it in the first place. Superweird video.

That’s what I was thinking. I think he said the next ones coming out the beginning of the month!
@Linde I’ve seen that video a few times. And it never gets less creepy. That guys other stuff is really strange too.

Offline Creepy as “cows & cows & cows” may be, it’s a killer production job. It must have taken hours, maybe days, to make those two minutes and fifteen seconds of weirdness.

Offline Thanks guys — I thought nobody responded to my thread! Sometimes I’m too lazy to go digging and just expect responses to show up where they *should* at the bottom part of the main page. I agree Mr. Kite’s find is a talented singer. Interesting niche he’s found for himself — sort of a pop impressionist.
Linde’s cow video (from MooTV) is more fun than cow-tipping! (Would Paul be aghast?)

Offline That would be slightly more pleasant than that weirdo song it has playing over it now, although it does contribute to the absurdness of the video.
