Agent Smith Is Carl Sagan
I always thought that Agent Smith from the Matrix spoke like Carl Sagan and now here's proof:
In this scene, Agent Smith is torturing Morpheus with one of his lectures on the Universe. Enjoy.
Paul Potts singing Opera on UK Idol
I don't watch American Idol for the simple reason that I hate seeing public train wrecks. I often feel bad for them and it's generally uncomfortable, probably because I can relate so well (especially after my catastrophically disastrous VP status call this morning but that's a topic for a different post). When Amy sent me this video this morning, I almost quit watching after the first 30 seconds since I was sure this guy was just going to humiliate himself. I'm glad I kept watching.
The piece he sings is Nessun Dorma from Turandot, music by Giacomo Puccini and libretto by Renato Simoni.
Misheard Lyrics- Pearl Jam’s Yellow Ledbetter
Of course this video ruined this song forever for me but it's damn funny. I'm pretty sure even Eddie himself has no idea what he is saying in this song.
[EDIT]:
And Even Flow... (I love the Heathen Frog line)
I Told You That Hook Would Bring You Back
After reading yesterday's post, Amy didn't see the connection between Blue's Traveler's Hook and the classical song I had in mind so I did some googling and found this Youtube gem:
Signal Fire
The new Snow Patrol song from the Spiderman 3 Soundtrack. It took me a few listens to really appreciate it and things that are going on right now with me make it really accessible, if that makes any sense.
