I really love the muppet/Sesame Street versions of songs. E. g..

That's a slightly different thing though. Way to threadjack before the comments even STARTED, Heebie.

I'm so happy we've moved on to Dave and Busters.

No, your thing is like Weird Al songs, or the Literal Video series, where somebody does work to make a new version of a pop song with different lyrics and a new performance. This is more like actual creative work.

My thing is a third party juxtaposing two independent works for comedic/commentary effect. This is more like curating.

I guess my fourth link with the orchestra blurs that line somewhat.

Well, the link in 6 is like my thing.

I thought about this SO HARD yesterday! (I have been stuck in bed for way too long.)

Anyway on reflection I withdraw the orchestra/pop song submission and recategorize it as Like That Not Like This.

Yes definitely. The link in 6 and your thing are the same. And are awesome.

I can't get videos to play at work and now I feel bad about it.

This would seem to be the right thread to post my notion of combining the lives of the saints with the old-timey Mentos ads. (SacraMentos! Imagine the St. Catherine one!)

E Messily demonstrates an intuitive grasp of some key copyright concepts. But it's a moot point because Heebie's story can't possibly be true.

And yet there is a video.

Chuck E. Cheese is a money machine and a bizarre mixture of childhood and drugs. I'm pretty sure they can and will pay to license anything.

Back surgery is probably nicer if you don't pass out, fall down, and re-injure yourself a bunch of times in the following weeks.

BUT HEY my foot is not numb any more.

Sorry to hear about your back re-injury, Messily. I did that too (though not by passing out). Super happy fun times. Glad you're recovering.

They can't even fake a long-form birth certificate well enough to convince an Arizona sheriff.

Halford's probably going to pull something in Crossfit and be the next to need back surgery.

Get well soon, Messily! I was wondering what had happened to you, following the previous business with the radioactive egg sandwich. I wasn't expecting back surgery, however.
