This is where I'll post random links and videos and pictures and the occasional stray thought. I also plan to use it as a form of procrastination when necessary.
From time to time I might post Doctor Who or MLP stuff, so get over it. Ha!
That is all.
The girl that brought us Friday is back with a follow-up song: Saturday!!
If you haven't watched the Friday video yet, I'd suggest checking that out first; there are quite a few references to it in this video. (I think it's quite tragic that I noticed most of them)
So I finished watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off a few minutes ago; I have watched it before, this wasn't my first time. If you haven't watched it yet, I'd highly recommend it. It is one of those "kind of classic" movies that you just need to watch to say that you've watched it. It featured that annoying "Oh yeah" song thing, which has also been used by quite a few movies and series, but why? I personally find it quite annoying: I therefore decided to Google it.
Everyone probably knows all of this already, but it's new to me, so I'm writing this post about it anyway. Ain't no one be stoppin' me!
The song is literally called "Oh Yeah", a single released in 1985 by the Swiss band Yello. (Thank you, Wikipedia!) It was first featured in above-mentioned movie, and has since been associated with anything "hot" or desirable.
It also has a music video, and to my surprise, some lyrics other than "Oh Yeah". I know, right!? I was not expecting that either. Here are the lyrics, for anyone wanting to sing along:
Oh yeah... oh yeah... oh yeah The moon... beautiful The sun... even more beautiful Oh yeah... oh yeah... oh yeah
Beautiful Oh yeah... oh yeah...
Absurdly poetic, as is the video. Never has the sun and moon been described more accurately or vividly.
This brief clip demonstrates what happens when you film an upright bass while synchronizing the vibration of the strings with the frame rate of the camera. The resulting video makes it appear as though the musician is playing in slow motion when the video is actually playing at normal speed, not unlike the effect of a strobe light.
