A bunch of cool YouTubes

Every single one of these breaks my usual rule for video-blogging – they’re all more than one minute-ish long.

I’m posting them anyway, because they’re fun. Really fun. First: this is what happens when you give people Macs and free time all at once.

That video reminded me of this little piece of brilliance that I ran across a while back – a one-man John Williams a cappella medley:

Just a reminder - I know these are longer than the average blogospherizen’s attention span, but they’re worth the effort. You’re missing out if you don’t watch.

Anyway. While looking that last one up, I found another version of it. This one’s better, I think, but less impressive because it’s four guys, instead of one guy singing all four parts:

UPDATE - I changed my mind. The first one was better. End update.

Both were in response to this – a one-man six-part medley of Michael Jackson songs:

That’s one guy singing all six parts, yet appearing on stage as six guys thanks to the magic of computer technology (the guy on the far left is the computer wizard, I think – or maybe not. Dunno.).

The really cool thing about all this is: you need somebody to arrange the lyrics; somebody to sing; and somebody with a computer and software. That’s it. You know what that is? That’s the Marxist dialectic.
