Gawker had this to say:

Since most Sarah Palin fetishists think she’s Christ reincarnated with a folksy twang and fertile vagina, it stands to reason that someone would eventually make a Palin video tribute set to the music of R. Kelly. That time is now.

At first glance you’d think that this utterly hilarious compilation, featuring the music of a black man renowned for on-camera golden showers and statutory rape, was a parody made by Keith Olbermann or Bill Maher’s staffs, but it was actually put together and posted to the web this morning by the delusional wingnuts who run the Conservatives4Palin website. Prepare to be mesmerized.

We also would be doing you a great disservice if we didn’t include a copy of Conservatives4Palin’s logo, a shot of Alaskan mountains and and the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline split by Palin’s backside. Got that? Mountains, ass, and oil!

Conservatives4Palin Think She Is The World's Greatest

And here is what the naive video editor had to say:

This video was a lot of fun to make and only took a few hours (I harvested clips from other Sarah Palin “bests” out there). The main purpose of this film is to share with you some clips that you might not have seen and to uplift and encourage all of your Palin-ites out there. We support a great woman that has truly taken a stand. She’s one of the world’s greatest!

Do you think he knows this song was written by a child molester about a black boxer named Muhammad?

Some details:

The YouTube video, which is titled JK Divorce Entrance Dance, was posted by NYVideoProduction on Wednesday, and– like its predecessor– is racking up the views. In the description, the company says, “We’ve all seen the JK Wedding Entrance Dance. Now let’s see what happens 6 months later!”
…
The new, parody version—which is also done to Brown’s ‘Forever’— is set not in a church, but in a courtroom instead. It’s complete with lawyers, bailiffs, a judge, and of course the not-so-happy couple— all of whom dance their way to the front of the courtroom. Don’t worry—the groom’s flip, as seen in the original, is still included.

When the music slows, the bride and groom climb up onto tables and appear to fight in slow motion, as do a female ‘court reporter’ and another woman who appears to be a witness. The ladies engage in some hair pulling— all in slow motion, of course.

Kalina began taking a photo of himself every day on January 11, 2000, at age 19. The video everyday shows the photos chronologically, six per second, with an original piano score by musician Carly Comando. Throughout the compilation, Kalina’s face remains emotionless in the center of the frame. Kalina uploaded the video to Vimeo on August 8, 2006 and YouTube on August 27, 2006. Everyday was featured on an episode of VH1′s Web Junk 20 and on commercials for Time Warner Cable’s Roadrunner service. In a New York Times article, William A. Ewing, director of the Musée de l’Elysée, was quoted as saying, “Noah’s video represents a phenomenal amplification not just in what he produced and how he did it, but how many people the piece touched in such a short period of time.

Well now Red Label Films has gone and done the same thing for the reddit alien:

DJ Morgoth is an excellent mashup creator and DJ based in Germany. He runs an awesome night called Mashup Your Bootz.

He made this great mashup, so I made a video of it for him.

Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up

After addressing the audience, Jackson went into his routine. Wearing black pants, leather penny loafers and a single white rhinestone glove, Jackson snapped a fedora to his head and struck a pose—his right hand on his hat and his left leg bent. Throwing the hat aside, Jackson lip-synched to “Billie Jean”. Then, during a musical interlude, the singer executed a move which many claim to have sealed his status as a pop icon. Gliding backwards, Jackson performed the moonwalk, before spinning on his heels and landing en pointe. It was the first time Jackson had performed the moonwalk in public, having practiced it in his kitchen prior to the show.

The program was watched by 50 million people and earned Jackson an Emmy nomination. With the performance Jackson reached a new audience and increased the sales of Thriller, which eventually became the biggest selling album in the world. The day after the show aired, Jackson was called by his childhood idol Fred Astaire who commended the singer. Another childhood idol, Sammy Davis Jr., later received Jackson’s black sequined jacket, having admired it during the performance.

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics…they will only grow louder and more dissonant ……….. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea –

Yes. We. Can.

M.I.A. is mad at MTV. Just recently, she wrote a MySpace blog rant, one that’s since been taken down, about how the MTV-edit version of her “Paper Planes” video has fallen victim to the channel’s standards-and-practices department. The gunshot noises on the track’s hook are gone, replaced with, in her words, “this fucked up mess with double-tracked bullshit mess.” Something similar happened when she did the song on the David Letterman show, except there the gunshot noises got changed to some weird pitch-shifted clicks that sort of sound like the gunshot noises that come from those little wartime-noisemaker toys that I drove my parents nuts with when I was nine.

According the British newspaper The Sun, bookmaker William Hill has given 17-year-old Lauren Rose a 16-1 shot at having Britain’s best-selling song on December 25.

The Sun also reports that Lauren’s father, Mark Goldberg, has quit his job as boss of Bromley Football Club to manage his daughter’s music career.

Lauren’s version of “Hava Nagila” is not the first by contemporary acts from both the pop and classical worlds. The list of musicians to perform the song includes Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Harry Belafonte, Julie Andrews, Ben Folds and violinist and conductor Andre Rieu.

The song, whose title translates as “Let Us Rejoice,” is de rigueur at Jewish celebrations, and is widely attributed to Abraham Zvi Idelsohn, who is believed to have penned the song at the close of World War One.

Idolator:

Rooting around the I Love Music message board for something else entirely, I got completely sidetracked by the new clip for Snoop’s “Sensual Seduction”. Frankly I don’t even want to say too much about it. Except: Flying beds! Don Cornelius duds! “When Doves Cry” quotations! And what is that watery synth hook (best heard at the very beginning) sampled from anyway? It sounds right off a Derrick May record.

Numa Numa is an Internet phenomenon based on amateur videos, most notably Numa Numa Dance by Gary Brolsma, made for the song “Dragostea din tei” as performed by Romanian pop band O-Zone. Brolsma’s video, released in December 2005, was the first Numa Numa-themed video to gain widespread attention. (Wikipedia)
