All videos and reviews for Lanooz

Wow. Weird Al really put some time into this one. The voice sounds very close to Don McLean's. And the words and music ... seriously impressive. Read the first verse:

A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us ...

We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy...

Enjoy.

The people of Behnfannin productions have left me scratching my head once again. Maybe I have an undiagnosed case of head lice, but more probably it’s that sometimes I just don’t get the joke they’re telling.

This video is for a mock music video by a man called Umbilical Bif, and it’s of a song about a missing television remote called “Remote Control.”

I don’t envy the man or woman given the task of putting this glorious piece of video together. On second thought, something this fascinatingly well done could only have been a labor of love.

Faced with its prospects, anyone else but the video’s creator, Benoît Gréant, would have surely chosen to be lobotomized rather than sift through the endless hours of black-and-white old-timey movie film it took to put this exquisite piece together.

The video’s description calls it “a video clip based upon an electro music from DJ SLADE and made with old footages. Check it, enjoy and please comment !!!”

Well I’ve checked it, enjoyed it, and am passing it on so that you can appreciate for yourself.

You're welcome.

This rap video about an everyday yard sale may be the definition of retarded. And if the tag for the video didn’t say ‘behnfannin,’ I’d be absolutely certain that a team of coked-up monkeys had somehow gained access to some crude video equipment and made it themselves. Nevertheless, actual sound-minded humans were responsible for this, and I’m consequently as surprised as a hooker on her wedding day. This one is really silly, folks ... You’ve been warned.

A take on the classic!
This music video from Maldroid is made completely by the band itself on practically no budget. It takes the concept made popular by the classic music video, Aha's Take on me, and makes it their own. The video mixes live action with animation, and it does quite well. Definitely unexpected to see how well this video actually is when they say they worked on it with no budget. Definitely something to watch with this one. Check out the band on myspace here if you want to see and hear more.

A simple but heartbreaking reminder.
This video is a cry for help, simply said. In our world, there are people that need our help. Their are children starving, and we sit in our homes with filled refrigerators. This video shows the plight of the people in Africa using images played under the song, Angels. Not sure which version this is, but I know it isn't Jessica Simpson. The video is quite simple, but nonetheless powerful! Sometimes we just need a reminder to be thankful of what we have and to help those that don't have it. Just watch.

His hands are bananas ... literally!
I wasn't completely sure what I'd find when I watched this video. The title is a bit strange, and I never thought it would be so literal. What we have here is a music video from Nandrews in which his hands really are bananas. It is shot entirely in black and white, and the opening sequence is quite good here. It definitely pulled me in to watch more of the video. The song is hilarious. There are a few strange moments, but overall this video is fun to watch. Some great quick comedy. Check it out!

Wow look at this sexy party!
I am a huge fan of Family Guy and Stewie, but this video is entirely new to me. The lyrics had me laughing right out loud, and I just knew I had to share it with you. I'm not sure where this video is from because I don't remember seeing it on television. It has a bit of a Bartman feel to it, but Stewie is his own man ... baby? Take a look!

Ever wanted to take your favorite song and make your own music video for it?
Well, that's just what this group of people have, and you know what they did a pretty damn good job of it. So many try and fail, but this video might be one of the best I've seen.

We have so many people in this video, but they all come together and make it work as they sing along to the lyrics of Wind it Up by Barenaked Ladies. Yes, there is some nakedness, but don't worry all the important parts are covered up. This video is just funny with some good editing and great footage. Even some puppets get into the action. Check it out for yourself.

Thanksgiving maybe over, but this video is too funny not to share!
This video comes to us from Bison Films and Spencer the Gardener. I present to you, The Gobble Song. It is a song in honor of one of our favorite holidays and that lovely beast that ends up on our dinner tables each and every year.

The song is definitely funny, and the footage in the video makes it even more so. Here we have people singing along and joining in by doing the gobble dance. Great short music video worth checking out. The turkeys are safe for another year!

You ever wonder why so many football players have been shooting jump shots after making a big play this year? Blame Jim Jones. The New York rapper has started a phenomenon with this video “We Fly High” by mimicking basketball moves and yelling “ballin’!” in the process. This is not a great song, folks, but if you’ve been entertained by 300 pound gargantuans on Saturdays and Sundays pretending to shoot fade away jumpers after scoring a touchdown or making a sack, then you’ll enjoy this one for sure… “Ballin!”

This is the follow up BET Awards promo posted by Chedda346. This cipher features Rhymefest, Remy Ma, Saigon (of "Entourage" fame), and Sway. This is another good look at what a cipher is all about. It’s much shorter than the first, but the group does a nice job of taking turns and staying with the Just Blaze beat that’s presented to them. Rapping is an art, and these MC’s are some of its best practitioners.

This is what’s called a “cipher” between rappers Papoose, Lupe Fiasco (one of my personal favorites) and Styles P done as a BET promo for the popular and controversial television network. A cipher, for those out of the loop, is a group of rappers getting together to freestyle back and forth with each other. It’s both fun and a competition between the rappers who can come up with the best stuff. So in this particular one, two of the rappers (Styles P and Papoose) play fair and come off the cuff with their rhymes. But Lupe decided to break the cardinal rule and use a pre-written rap.

This is just a black and white video posted by a poster named Chedda346 of the three—first Styles P, then Lupe, then Papoose—standing outside of a building and showing their formidable skills. The creativity and wordplay Styles P and Papoose is pretty tame however—but then again it’s not easy to freestyle. Everybody can’t be Jay-Z. Lupe’s rap carries the cipher as it’s from his song “Real Recognize Real” off the bootlegged version of his album “Food and Liquor.” In it he personifies the street game with the different characteristics are prevalent in the communities where “the game” is prevalent. If you like rap, you’ll like what’s going on in this one.

Everybody loves Johnny Cash—including me. Whether it’s the voice, the lyrics, the black, or the movie “Walk the Line,” the man in black resonates, in some way, with everyone who hears his famous name. This video is of the new song God’s Gonna Cut You Down—off the album “American V: A Hundred Highways.” This is a lot more modern than what we’re used to hearing from Cash, but the song’s hip-hop beat works well with Cash’s haunting lyrics warning “sooner or later, God’s gonna cut you down.” The video is done in understated black and white and features a number of celebrities like Kris Kristofferson, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Lisa Marie Pressley, and Chris Rock to name a few.

Two Virgins with Two Guitars is an animated music video from Acousticore. It was also their first music video and an entry into Cingular's YouTube Underground contest. To hear more from the group you can visit Acousticore on Myspace.

The animation in this video is quite simple, but it works with the song. As for the audio in the track, there are some times it is difficult to understand the lyrics, especially in the opening moments. The video does have some amusing moments, so it is definitely worth watching.

Moonbeam Death Ray is a computer generated music video by Daniel D. Brown. This is his first attempt in animation, and I think for the first time out of the box it is quite amazing. By the video's description, the creator put a lot of time and work into this video's creation.

The music for the video is by Bronze Fawn, and in the video itself we see as a moonbeam does cause death to a fawn. The video descriptions does say this is a brighter version of the video, but some parts still seem a bit on the dark side to me. It is a great video though, and it is definitely worth watching.

Flower Gardens is a music video from Chad Vangaleen off his release SkelliConnection from Sub Pop Records. This animated video was recorded and created by the man himself, and it is well done. A bit on the trippy side, but it is definitely worth watching. The first moments of the video are completely dark, but once the music picks up we see some action on the screen.

Here is another fan created music video. This time it is of the CW series, Smallville. I don't watch the show myself, but sometimes I really wish I did. I love Superman. This video shows the love story between Clark and Lana. The music selection is perfect, and the clips used by the creator made me really wish I watched the show. I'm all for the cheesy romance! Check it out.
