Hey Indaba, it's Wednesday and you know what that means: video time!  It's been a few weeks since I went out and scoured the Internet for videos but it has been worth the wait.  This week I want to explore something very near and dear to my heart.  They're called "Meltdown Musicals," and they could only exist on the Internet.  Basically, a Meltdown Musical is when Internet people take a clip of a freakout - from a news show, a home video, whatever - and remix it into a song.  Isn't that just exactly what the Internet is about?  I've collected three I hope you'll enjoy. 

Bill O'Reilly Dance Remix (Beware the language!)

Ah, now you see what I mean, right?  This "musician" has taken the famous Bill O'Reilly freak out clip and remixed it into an awesome song.  It's pretty much club quality, as in if I walked by a thumping club and heard this track I wouldn't be surprised.  But I think it can get better from here, don't you? 

Practice

My god, I love this video.  It's little clips from different sports press conferences, starting with Iverson.  The whole thing gets the autotune treatment and is tenderly lain over a driving beat.  I like this one better than the Bill O'Reilly one because it pulls from five or six very different videos yet manages to sound cohesive, like the videos weren't taken months or years apart.  It even follows song structure a little bit, returning to the "practice" theme after wandering through various other press conferences.  But it's not my favorite.  My favorite, hands down, has got to be...

RU Professional (Watch out for Language)

This is a masterpiece.  It takes a little of the famous Christian Bale freakout audio and builds an entire - and might I say, enjoyable - song around it.  Even more impressive is that it came out about a day after the clip leaked online.  That means of course that the creator did all of this in a day.  Imagine doing that for a second.  Imagine hearing that audio clip and having an idea for a song.  That much is easy to do, but then imagine sitting down and hammering this out in a day (and making a little video).  Maybe for some of you that's an easy feat but for me it would take days if not weeks.  Therefore, I give this video my higher honor: one LOL. 

Join me next week as we explore more of the Internet's best music (in video format).
