In Honor Of The Beach Boys Reunion, Let’s Watch The Full House “Forever” Video

By

The surviving members of the Beach Boys just announced that they’re reuniting for a new 50-show tour set to kick off at Jazzfest in New Orleans in April 2012. Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks (RIP Carl & Dennis Wilson) are also set to make a ‘surprise’ appearance at the Grammys on February 12th.

The Beach Boys remain one of our favorite bands of all-time, and there’s any number of excellent appropriate things we could link here (the original Surf’s Up being our favorite), but seeing as this is a pop culture blog with a uniquely discerning readership (I picture us all holding up pop culture and swirling it before consuming), I think we’d all much rather share a hearty nostalgic chuckle at the Full House episode where Uncle Jesse records the best-aging music video of all time.

Here is the full Jesse And The Rippers music video for their cover of the Beach Boys’ “Forever”. Holy crap is it amazing:

I can’t pick a favorite part – it’s a tie between the ‘guitar solo’ at 1:10 and Jesse filming the dreads dude at 1:58. A close third is everything else.

Happy Halloween From Awesome Special Effects Tim Curry!

By

Here’s a video of Tim Curry magically descending on a crowd to perform the huge Halloween musical number “Anything Can Happen On Halloween” as part of the definitely-not-forgotten-about 1986 HBO movie The Worst Witch.

The resulting video is kind of like if you knocked out David Bowie with a Halloween Sound Effects CD and dragged him into a mall “Make Your Music Video” booth, then woke him up with thunder and just started playing music and forced him to improvise spooky lyrics while you rapidly hit every button on the VIDMAKKERZ 3000 Special Effects Machine.

So in other words, it’s pretty great:

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Brown’s “Wet The Bed” Music Video Premieres Online!

By

Chris Brown’s single “Wet The Bed” debuted at #89 on the Billboard Hip-Hop Charts one week ago and has continued holding steady in the month of August (haha, charts = still a thing!) Today, Brown finally released a music video to go along with “Wet The Bed,” and believe us when we say, it’s absolutely as high-energy and salacious as the original song.

Being the huge Chris Brown fans that we are, we at BWE have managed to exclusively obtain Chris Brown’s “Wet The Bed” Music Video, which you can watch below.

Whether or not you’re a Chris Brown fan, I think we can all agree, this is easily his finest work to date:

Beyoncé’s New Video “Move Your Body” Is Literally About Moving Your Body

By

Here’s a new Beyoncé video entitled “Move Your Body,” a reworked version of her song “Get Me Bodied” released as part of Michelle Obama’s ongoing campaign against childhood obesity:

The video’s super upbeat and obviously the cause is great, but the whole time I was listening to the song, I really had a hard time accepting that the lyrics are literally about moving your body — which is fine, obviously, and that’s what they should be about, but I’m just so conditioned to expect pop music to have fun pseudo-sexual choruses like “Move Your Body” then when you pay attention to the lyrics, it’s very clearly about f***ing. With this song, the more you pay attention to it, the more you realize that the lyrics are completely benign and literal, which is great for kids, it’s just really really jarring for a pop song post, like, 1930. Or whatever year “Over There” was the only song in the country.

This expands the list of songs that actually aren’t about sex to…this song and “Centerfield” by John Fogerty. Which I’m still not entirely unsure isn’t about a crazy Kama Sutra position.

REMIX: Who Am I? Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg

By

Former senator Alan Simpson called Snoop Dogg “Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dog” on Fox News this week, and the clip ended up all over the internet and in our hearts and minds and molecules of laughter spilling back out of us.

As we learned in Internetting 101: Introduction To This Thoughtless Sprawling Wasteland That Consumes Most Of Our Lives, that means it’s time for a REEEEEMIXXXXX — please enjoy this Snoop Dogg feat. Alan Simpson rendition of “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?”

Someone had to do it, so thank the guiding hand of Pete Schultz for taking it upon himself and not just driving past the broken-down car on the side of the superhighway (that broken down car was us waiting for this remix to happen. Or something. The analogy kind of works if you squint super hard and can’t see anything.)

Can’t wait for the soon-to-be-Grammy-nominated followup featuring Simpson and Enema Man.

Best Coast’s “Crazy For You” Is The Top Cat-Directed Vid Of 2011 So Far

By

Here’s the video for Best Coast’s “Crazy For You”, directed by the lead singer’s cat, Snacks (who has way more Twitter followers than I do). While the objective blogger part of me is slightly confused by a LOLcat-themed music video in the year 2011, the much larger part of me that can’t not laugh at fake animal paws kept laughing at the fake animal paws. Verdict: Fake furry thumbs up.

The cat’s all like, “Ladies – You’ve just recorded your first…NUMBER ONE. Meow.”

Belfast Hockey Team Records Mariah Lip-Dub For Christmas

By

Here’s a video of the Belfast Giants, a UK hockey team, doing an elaborate, choreographed lip-dub to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It is a convenient answer to the questions “Do they play hockey in the UK?” and “Do those hockey teams record Mariah lip-dubs for the holidays?” Uhhh…DOY.

I admit, several friends of mine sent me this video last week and I didn’t really watch it, because I’m tired of lip-dubs and I hate the internet and everything in it, but being the heroin-without-the-upside that it is, the internet finally won out, and dammit, I had to post. I’ll be dead soon, but at least I’ll leave a bunch of embeds in my wake, which are basically children. Cat’s In The Cradle (a viral video of kittens huddling in a cradle)…

Andrew W.K. Covers “Silent Night”, Parties

By

I stand by the unbending rule that anything Andrew W.K. does is awesome. If we apply the rule to this video of Andrew W.K. sitting at a keyboard covering “Silent Night”, we can suspect in advance that the video will be awesome. Then we can watch the video and confirm, in fact, that it is awesome.

This better be a first step towards a Christmas Party Hard album…

Wishery: The Ultimate Snow White Remix

By

Well, it took 73 years, but someone finally remixed the voices and sound effects from Snow White into an elaborate, Crystal Castles-sounding super-remix. I thought the internet would’ve gotten around to making this sometime in the 40s, but I guess the internet was busy fighting that war, plus it was mostly Phantom Menace rumor pages back then anyway:

It Took A While, But Weekend At Bernie’s Finally Started A Dance Craze

By

Remember in Weekend At Bernie’s 2 when Bernie’s body got half-voodooed so he would move towards treasure but only in a slouched pseudo-dancing manner and only while music was playing? If you don’t, GET THE F**K OFF THIS BLOG!!! AND THE EARTH!!! YOU’RE USELESS! USELESS I TELLS YA! Unless you are a doctor.

Sidenote: That sequel seriously is just about the worst movie ever, isn’t it? Literally unbelievable that it got made.

Anyway, it’s 2010 and obviously someone has turned “The Bernie” into a dance craze and there’s a video of it online. Enjoy!
