75,000 hits in 48 hours. Not too scruffy, melad.
raincoaster is not a particular fan, but she knows a bandwagon when she sees it and will proudly jump, if it'll pimp the hits. Although Clay and Michael are donating a significant (and Beautiful Agony-dusting) helping hand today, posting Zach Braff's inaugural YouTube video before getting back to searching for old Banana Splits footage can't hurt a bit.
Okay, look. Let's be honest. If the lead singer here were a white boy dancing like that he wouldn't get the girl; he'd get the tongue depressor forced between his teeth, a double dose of clonazepam, and the snazzy jacket with the extra-long sleeves that buckle in the back. Those backup boys can rock it out, it must be said. The lyrics are a bit messy, though, a little too brutally honest. "We also create false promises" eh?
From Boingboing:
In this youtube, a band identified as the "Indian Beatles" performs a totally rockin' version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" in Hindi…
Commenters on the YouTube page add more details. The song is "Tumse Hai Dil Ko" from the film "Jaanwar" — and this: "The camera work is exceptional, the singing great, and the fact that this was just 1 year after the Beatles' appearance on the Ed Sullivan show makes this work of adaptive plagiarism all the more impressive."
And the lyrics:
Look, no one knows yet
Look, no one knows yet
My heart loves you
My heart loves youLook, no one knows yet
Look, no one knows yet
My heart loves you
My heart loves youWe meet because of destiny
We also create false promises
We meet because of destiny
we also create false promisesMy heart loves you
My heart loves you
Look, no one knows yet
Look, no one knows yet
My heart loves you
My heart loves you
Just what it sounds like:
The Blair Witch Project, the way it was meant to be.
The police press conference:
the videotape left in the van, Part One
the second half of the video left in the van:
Bill Shannon, also known as Crutch Master for obvious reasons.
Documentary coming this fall.
and more Crutch
