ZZ Top And U2 Sang The Same Song?

If you're of my generation especially, you are pretty familiar - and often are fond of - many songs from the 1980s.

Two of those classic songs are "Legs" by ZZ Top and "Where The Streets Have No Name" by U2.

At first, you'd think these two songs are completely different from each other. Uh-uh. A guy mashed the two songs up together and guess what? They're the same song.

Listen to the mashup on this video for yourself (H/T Boingboing)

 

Addams Family Dance To The Ramones, Making Everything Right In The World

The website Open Culture gave us this little gem recently: It's the 1960s television sitcom version of the Addams Family dancing to the Ramones'  classic "Blitzkrieg Bop." I know, I know, it didn't really happen, the Ramones song was just dubbed over some Addams Family scenes.

But this is delightful. You HAVE to watch the video:

The Film Flop "Newsies" Channeled "Uptown Funk" 20 Years Before Bruno Mars Released It

The 1992 musical "Newsies" channeled the
2014 song "Uptown Funk" 

The way, way overplayed but still very fun song "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson came out in 2014. It was and is a HUGE hit and continues to inspire parodies, tributes and videos.

The film "Newsies" came out in 1992. A Disney box office flop, it was about newsboys going on strike in 1899.

However, somebody matched a dance scene from Newsies and a segment of Uptown Funk.

It seems Newsies anticipated Uptown Funk, even when Bruno Mars was only seven years old when the movie came out.

Watch the video and see for yourself.
