Awesome Lyrics

Mangazi Music has an awesome way of showing off his guitar-playing skills: the neck of his electric guitar shows lyrics and animations in sync with his performance. It appears that he uses a green screen and motion tracking to superimpose perfectly timed graphics onto the guitar, and the results are impressive.

Song lyrics often refer to locations, but they rarely are specific and sometimes inaccurate. Jam2Go thought he’d nail down the exact places in songs, starting with the guy in the Plain White T’s Hey There Delilah, who mentions he’s 1000 miles away from Delilah. Then he travels to Ocean Avenue, Africa, Over the Rainbow, and Country Roads.

We’ve seen lots of videos where virtual objects have been synced up to perfectly match with music. But 5MadMovieMakers managed to do it in real life by building an elongated marble track and perfectly timing the speed of the ball rolling so it lines up with song lyrics. The track is “Take Your Time” by EmCee.

We’ve all misunderstood the lyrics of songs from time to time. These amusing coasters from Bright Beam Goods memorialize some classics, from “I’ll never leave your pizza burnin'” to “Rock the cat spa” to our favorite “She was a fax machine, she kept her modem clean.” Sold in themed sets of six cork coasters each.

(PG-13 Language) Alex Lewis, Chris Reinacher, and Eugene Lee Yang of BuzzFeed Video look back at some of the biggest pop hits of 2015, and the words only they heard when listening to them. We’re surprised they didn’t include any Uptown Funk though.

Fred Scott professes that Trent Reznor is one of his musical heroes but that doesn’t keep him from playfully but perfectly calling out the Nine Inch Nails frontman on his rather reliable songwriting process. (Thanks G. Pelabras!)

As if Taylor Swift’s music wasn’t already a little overbearing. Overly Attached Girlfriend Laina Morris recites selections from Swift’s songs in her typical clingy and creepy fashion. Eesh. Anyone remember Fatal Attraction?

Youtuber FamishedMammal gives some new life to the epicly clichéd O Fortuna in this animation of misheard lyrics. They must really be famished with all the food references they were hearing.
