A Handful Of… My All-Time Favorite Duets (Some Are Guilty Pleasures)

Posted on by sgottahurt

Peanut butter and jelly.  Peanut butter and chocolate.  Macaroni and cheese.  Chicken in a Biskit and Easy Cheese.

All better because of their combination.

Well I feel the same way about singers (when I’m not hungry).  Almost any song sung by a man and a woman is instantly superior to the solo acts.  Sure, some same-sex double-ups are equally improved, but today, I don’t feel like focusing on cheese and cheese (although that does sound appetizing).

In no particular order, I present my list of all-time favorite duets:

The Human League – Don’t You Want Me

Drunken Recollection… “Swipe It Like A Credit Card” (AKA “You Might Scream 4 This”)

Posted on by sgottahurt

(Photo courtesy of Amy's quickness with the clicks)

Scream 4 is filming (for some reason) in Plymouth, Michigan (for some reason), and I had no idea as I made my way to the bar to play trivia (for some reason).

Anydewey, as I passed the set piece above, I didn’t pay too much mind since I was being trailed by a Plymouth cop (I had to hide my cell phone courtesy of a new law).  While at trivia, the team I was playing with consisted of some new members, so job talk was brought up, and the birth of this phrase was born (I think it makes a great rap song hook):

Swipe it like a credit card…

The job it referenced:

Border Patrol Agent

Well, one specific act:

I let you connect the dots.

So back to trivia…  talk of Scream 4 began, and I connected the dots.  So after the game, a group of us headed over to the Woodsboro Police Station, and I readied to snap a photo.  But then some teen rent-a-cops yelled that I couldn’t.  And for some reason, I listened.  Afterward, I wished I had said something like:

I’m using Google Goggles to see what this place used to be.

But I didn’t.

And it’s not like they had any authority to swipe it like a credit card…

Hibbidy-Wah?! Las Vegas Pistons Almost Happened (And May Still)?!

Posted on by sgottahurt

I think I like this logo.

Although odds are against this for now, there was a chance that Detroit’s basketball team was going to move to Las Vegas.  This opened up a table full of questions:

  • Would the Pistons have kept their name?
  • Would Detroit have picked up another team?

Okay, so a pair of questions.  Since the Detroit Pistons are currently up for sale, anything can happen before next season.  Aside from the move to another state, the most likely buyer could be:

Mike Ilitch, owner of the Red Wings and Tigers

But it’d be kinda cool if the buyer happened to be either of these guys:

Kid Rock and Eminem, but not in that order

If the Pistons did happen to leave, there could be the possibility of this:

LeBron left, so why not the team?

(SIDENOTE: You see, Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert is from Detroit, so you never know.)

InASense, Lost… Rated PG Bosoms

Posted on by sgottahurt

I know that there are probably way more, but these were the only films that the perverts I work with* could think of that were rated PG and contained exposed, um… why beat around the bush – boobies.  They were favorites of a childhood past (not just the breasts, of course, but also the movies… because of the tatas).

Arguably, most of the following films are children films.  Can you imagine if they tried pulling this off in kiddie flicks today?

Also, I thought this video was an ample match:

Because I’m such a nice blogger, each movie title is a link to none other than Mr. Skin’s thorough website:

Sheena: Queen of the Jungle

The Beastmaster

Sixteen Candles

Irreconcilable Differences

Clash of the Titans

Swamp Thing

Racing with the Moon

Airplane!

Logan’s Run

The Omega Man

*All right, I’ll admit it… I remembered all of them except for three.

So, Duh! Pop Quiz… Classic Video Game Flowchart Edition

(Mushrooms not included...)

This one is pretty (Press Start) straight forward.  I’m presenting the flowchart of a classic video game, and you have to  guess which game it is.  No multiple choices on this pack, folks.  Also, take note that this was more time-consuming than I planned, so the clues change accordingly.

Awful Battle… Which One Of These Videos Makes More Sense?

You know what?  I’m going to let these videos speak for themselves.  You’ll never guess which one is easier to understand.

JusWondering… How Do You Dougie?

Posted on by sgottahurt

I JusLearned about The Dougie so now I was JusWondering about how to do it?

Apparently, the Cali Swag District are the guys that can Teach Me How to Dougie:

Hmm… I think I got it.  Perhaps I should check in with the inventor of the Superman dance – Soulja Boy:

Well, Kid Dougie and Young Ace are a little better at explaining the process (despite their decision to film outside on a windy day without a noise filter).  Plus, they add “The Wiggle”:

Okay, that was helpful.  But Lil Wil’s My Dougie might have set me back again:

Unless it all points back to this man:

The Human Beat Box himself, Doug E. Fresh

Musical Musings… Videos That Are Better Than Their Songs

Posted on by sgottahurt

MTV may no longer be Music Television, but that doesn’t mean videos no longer exist.  I know, right?

Today I present some videos that are, in my opinion, better than the songs they’re meant to showcase.

(I didn’t include any 80’s songs such as A-Ha’s Take On Me or Genesis’ Land of Confusion due partially to the fact that back then MTV still meant Music Television, and also… songs from the 80’s are still good in a kitschy sort of way.)

  • The White Stripes – Fell in Love with a Girl

A very simple song with a very simple message in a very simple – but quite time-consuming to make – video.

  • Fall Out Boy – Sugar, We’re Going Down

This could have been a movie, me thinks.  An independent film, of course.  A pretentious one.

  • Nickelback – Savin’ Me

The concept doesn’t fully kick in until 1:30 minutes in, but this video is certainly worth the watch.

  • OK GO – This Too Shall Pass

If you haven’t seen this yet, here ya (OK) go.

  • Prodigy – Smack My Bitch Up

You may argue that the song is good, but I’d still argue the video is better.  For the (mostly) uncut version, click here.  (I say mostly uncut because this is still missing the heroin and pedestrian hits… intense video, eh?)

The Sh– To Just Sh–ty… Modern Lyrics Are Just Things People Say!

Posted on by sgottahurt

I'm not saying lyrics were always brilliant, either...

This post was inspired by a gathering of drunken minds, but rather than recollect, I felt there was more to say on the subject:

What is the deal with music lyrics these days?

For example, Usher has a hit song (with will.i.am) called OMG.  What’s the chorus?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my god…

That has me saying “Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho-lee crap does this song lyric suck.”

What about Travie McCoy’s Billionaire with Bruno Mars’ hook:

I wanna be a millionaire so f–king bad…

Who doesn’t want that?  Well, maybe not the part about hanging out with Oprah and Queen Elizabeth, since one is allegedly busy rigging her own contest against a kid with cerebral palsy, and the other had her budget slashed.

How could I miss mentioning Black Eyed Peas getting-ready-to-party-and-then-actually-party anthem, I Gotta Feeling.  Who hasn’t said previously and into infinity:

Tonight’s gonna be a good night…

At least I can be thankful I haven’t heard Semisonic at 2am in a long time:

It’s closing time…

Instead, when I’m heading out to the car, I scan the radio stations, hoping to hear an 80’s classic.  Perhaps some Whitesnake:

Here, I go again on my own…

Hopefully, I will not have been drinking, and if I get pulled over, the police officer won’t have me Breathe… at least in the same ways Faith Hill, Anna Nalick, or Ryan Star might (as well as others).

When I get finally get home, I can think like Ice Cube:

Today was a good day…

Um… where was I going with this post anydadada?
