Here’s a rare video of Weird Al Yankovic performing his classic hit Eat It in Japan during the 1980′s.
(Eat It is a parody of Michael Jackson’s Beat It)
When I was growing up I was a huge Weird Al fan, I owned nearly all of his albums!
On a side note: I nearly drove my dad insane with my fascination with Weird Al’s music.
Eat It!
I like how he tailored the lyrics for the Japanese viewers!
Got to love foreign humor, as I’m sure Al did, judging from his reactions!
Al’s newest album Internet Leaks is set to release on June 16th of this year. Be sure to snatch up a copy!

I, like many others in this world, grew up watching classic Disney movies. Many of them do not sit well with me anymore seems how I am now an adult. Although, recently I learned about a lost piece of Disney history that may have never resurfaced if it weren’t for the persistence of Roy Edward Disney.
Roy E. Disney - The Resurrector
I’m referring to the short animation known as Destino, it was a collaboration between the surrealist painter Salvidor Dali and Mr. Walt Disney. The result is something that is both beautiful and dizzyingly surreal! Thanks Mr. Dali!
Ahead of Their Time
Production of this 6-minute animation was started in 1945 and unfortunately was ditched due to financial difficulties within the Disney corporation. In 1999 Roy E. Disney, Nephew of Walt Disney, unearthed the unfinished short and called upon Disney Studios France to complete the project. After it was finished it finally premiered on June 2, 2003 in Annecy, France and was nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short Film.
This has to be the best commercial simply for the fact that Frank Zappa was making a point be even doing this advertisement in the first place.
Advertising has come a long way in such a short while.
Even though this commercial is years old, it still shows how big business uses celebrity images to sell products.
Portland General Electric Commercial:
Oh and for those who haven’t heard of Frank Zappa, then I suggest you look into his music.
Be open minded, he paved the way for a lot of the bands that are popular nowadays.
He also stood up against the government for freedom of speech within musical lyrics.
YEAH!
Jesper Odelberg‘s career as a comedian has been going strong for more than 15 years and what sets him apart from most comedians is the fact that he makes fun of his own medical condition, Cerebral Palsy.
I have to tip my hat at him, cause it takes major cajones to do what he is doing.
