  • Sunday Funnies – Family Guy, Stewie Writes A Song

       Okay being a songwriter myself, this song by none other than Stewie Griffin, really cracked me up. If you write songs it’s easy to relate to following the sound of the chord changes while writing lyrical content. Minor chords suggest sad lyrics, or troubled lyrics while major chords suggest happy and upbeat lyrics. It’s pretty funny watching Stewie hack out a song while explaining major and minor chord changes as well as  tempo manipulation. All common songwriting techniques.

       I hope you enjoy todays Sunday Funnies!

  • Sunday Funnies – William Hung “She Bangs” Audition and Video

       William Hung, just his name makes me laugh! It’s like a porn stars name… But talk about an unlikely celebrity. For today’s Sunday Funnies I’m posting up the original William Hung American Idol audition video so you see what kicked off his 15 minutes of fame. It’s an audition so bad that you just can’t ignore the poor guy.

       I’m also posting up the music video that William Hung made to go with his studio recording of “She Bangs”. It totally cracks me up because William hates being touched and it’s funny to watch him pull away from all these beautiful women in the video. The “give me my backpack” scene at the end of the video is hilarious too. Enjoy!        (more…)

  • Sunday Funnies – Michael Jackson – Bad Vs. Weird Al – Fat

       I though this was a pretty funny side by side comparison of Michael Jackson’s video for “Bad” and Weird Al Yankovic’s video for “Fat”.  The music running simultaneously is kind of irritating but it’s really funny to watch what Wierd Al did with the parody of the original video.    (more…)

  • Sunday Funnies – The Ultimate Showdown

       It’s really interesting what people will spend their time and creative energies creating. Today I’m putting up a funny song with a video titled “The Ultimate Showdown”. It’s fascinating because these guys took the time to write and record the song as well as animate the whole thing.

       It’s funny, kind of, but it’s even more funny because it’s just not that great. I got a chuckle or two out of it but it did leave me scratching my head and thinking “why?”. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!    (more…)

  • Sunday Funnies – Stupid Alien Let’s Fan Slaughter Iron Man On The Guitar

       The Stupid Alien is a New York City street performer who has some serious skills on the electric guitar. In this video clip he let’s a passerby take his guitar to play “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath. The guest guitarist proceeds to suck big time on his rendition of the song.

       I think it’s pretty cool of The Stupid Alien to surrender his axe to a wannabe guitarist so kudos to Stupid Alien. As for the guy destroying “Iron Man”, dude, if you suck that badly then don’t borrow a guys guitar to show him how horrible you are! Just say, “Yeah, I play a little!” and just walk away.    (more…)

  • Sunday Funnies – Funny Street Musicians in New York City

       There’s some funny moments in this video clip. Enough to make me watch the whole thing anyway which is saying something for a 9-minute clip!         (more…)

  • Sunday Funnies – United Breaks Guitars

       This video was made about a man’s true experience with United Airlines. Dave Carroll’s $3500 Taylor guitar was broken by baggage handlers at United Airlines. They never denied that this happened but refused to pay for the broken instrument. So, to get back at the airline Dave vowed to write and produce 3 songs about his experience and then film videos for each to be posted online.

       This is the first of those three songs, it’s really funny and I hope you enjoy it. If you’re a guitarist and own a high end guitar, then I’m sure you can feel the guys pain.     (more…)

  • Sunday Funnies – Mother Of All Funk Chords

       Thanks to my good friend Frank for cluing me into this amazing YouTube video. This clip is called “Mother Of All Funk Chords” and is a compilation and remix of a bunch of music related video clips on YouTube. The video editing is genius and it’s a really fun clip to watch.

       According to the video’s creator, kutiman, what you see is what you hear. So kutiman has quite good musical sense as well as great video editing skills.

       I hope you enjoy The Mother Of All Funk Chords (the E9 Chord).      (more…)

  • Sunday Funnies – Tenacious D “Rock Your Socks Off”

       This weeks Sunday Funnies is a funny and rockin’ song by Jack Black and his band “Tenacious D”. This song is included on the new PSP game Rock Band Unplugged.

       There isn’t a music video (that I know of) to this song so I’m posting up a video some kid did on YouTube. He’s using clips from the movie Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny which is a hilarious movie itself. Anyway, the video below is pretty funny and you can hear the song in all it’s glory. I thought it was pretty funny!    (more…)

  • Sunday Funnies – World Class Drummer Bernard Purdie Does His Al Pacino Impersonation

       I think Bernard Purdie is one of the most musical drummers there is. Even without the rest of the band his drumming sounds like a complete song. The man loves to play his drums!

       While watching the following video clip, I couldn’t help but notice how similar Bernard Purdie sounds to Al Pacino. So, I’ve put a video clip of Al Pacino below so you can compare how Bernard and Al sound. It’s really pretty funny!    (more…)
