Miss Kittin – Kittin is High :: Music Video Clip

No mistaking it, the Kittin is high. She must have had her eyes rolling in the back of her head when she made this one. ‘Kittin is High’ is just the stuff for losing it in the most glamorous way possible, chugging along on her own specifically Eurocentric groove nobody else does it quite like Miss Kittin. Jojo de Freq adds a nagging wonky electro line on her remix with far better results.

RIHANNA UMBRELLA
VIDEO LYRICS PICTURE BIO PODCAST

Rihanna (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty on February 20, 1988) is a Barbadian singer with musical influences from pop, R&B, reggae, dancehall, and dance. Rihanna became known around the world with chart hits such as “Pon de Replay”, “SOS”, “Unfaithful”; “Break It Off”, and more recently with “Umbrella” and “Shut Up and Drive”.

Rihanna was born in Saint Michael, Barbados to Ronald and Monica Fenty. Her mother is a Guyanese of Barbadian origin and her father is Barbadian. She has two younger brothers named Rorrey and Rajad. Rihanna went to Charles F. Broome Memorial School, a primary school in Barbados, and then on to one of Barbados’ Grammar (older secondary) schools, the Combermere School, where she formed a musical trio with two of her classmates. In 2004, she won the Miss Combermere Beauty Pageant and performed in the Colours of Combermere School Show, singing Mariah Carey’s “Hero”. At the age of 15, Rihanna received her big break when one of her friends introduced her to music producer Evan Rogers, who was vacationing in Barbados with his wife. Rogers, along with his partner, Carl Sturken, helped Rihanna record material in the U.S. which was sent to various recording companies. One copy of Rihanna’s work was sent to Jay-Z, who eventually signed her to Def Jam Records. Rihanna stated in an interview that her friend and former Island Def Jam record label artist Fefe Dobson was someone that she admired and looked up to, having a fellow artist writing, singing, and performing the music she truly loves.

“Fergalicious” is the second single from Fergie’s album The Dutchess. It entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #79, ascending to #3 several weeks later. It has, thus far, peaked at #26 on the AOL Airplay Chart and #2 on the AOL Digital Download Chart. This is Fergie’s second top 5 US single in a row.

Podcast - Many consider this song to be a big novelty song, similar to that of the Black Eyed Peas‘ single “My Humps” (2005). In the song, Fergie describes how her body makes the boys go crazy for her. Thus, the definition ‘Fergalicious‘ is created to describe her sex appeal. The word ‘Fergalicious’ is supposed to mean to make “them boys” go crazy.

The song appears to be inspired by “Supersonic” by J. J. Fad, and also incorporates elements from “It’s More Fun To Compute” by Kraftwerk and “Give It All You Got” by Afro-Rican.

The video premiered on Yahoo! Music on October 23, 2006 and premiered on MTV’s TRL on October 24, 2006. The music video was directed by Fatima Robinson who also shot “My Humps” music video and was shot in September 2006 in Los Angeles. will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas also appears in the video, which features Fergie in a Willy Wonka inspired factory, called “Fergieland” filled with various types of candy. The video starts with factory workers packaging boxes of “Fergalicious” candy. Throughout the video, Fergie sings in a field of candy canes, wears a skirt made out of boxes of “Fergalicious” candy, lays in a pile of candy, works out in a colorful gym, sings in a room filled with lollipops, and pops out of a cake while watching two women wrestle in cake before joining in with them at the end of the video. The video ends the same way it started, with boxes of “Fergalicious” candy being packaged on the assembly line.

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC – WHITE NERDY :: Music Video

Xarj — Fri, 27 Oct 2006 16:10:14 +0000

Alfred Matthew Yankovic (born on October 23, 1959), better known as “Weird Al” Yankovic, is a Grammy Award-winning musician, satirist, parodist, accordionist, and television producer. He is known in particular for his humorous songs which make light of popular culture, parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts, or both. His works have earned him three gold and five platinum records in the U.S. His career longevity is notable among contemporary performers, and he had his first Billboard top ten album and single in 2006, nearly three decades into his career.

After hearing Dr. Demento’s radio show, Yankovic sent the Doctor a tape of a song entitled “Belvedere Cruisin’”, a song about his family’s current vehicle, in 1976. Another song included on the tape which never received airtime was entitled “Dr. D Superstar”, a parody of “Jesus Christ Superstar”. He was a senior at Lynwood High School at the time, but that tape was the start of his eventual career.

Three years later, Yankovic was an architecture student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and a disc jockey at the university’s radio station. According to Yankovic he has been called “Weird Al” since high school and used the nickname on air. Since “My Sharona” by The Knack was on the charts and The Knack was scheduled to play at Cal Poly, Yankovic took his accordion into the restroom across the hall from the radio station and recorded a parody entitled “My Bologna” with a B-side called “School Cafeteria”. The Knack met Yankovic after a show at his college, thought the song was funny, and arranged for it to be released on their label, Capitol Records, which gave Yankovic a six-month contract. Dr. Demento’s listeners frequently put this track atop his “Funny Five” list.
