Sometimes I head over to YouTube just for a quick distraction, you know? The following is an illustration of how I get sucked into YouTube for much longer periods of time than I plan for. Seriously, I start with one video and then look up and it’s 40 minutes later.
The jumping off point: This video, because it makes me laugh. And I also have some claim to school pride, since this is Ohio University’s band.
Highlights:
1:46 – When the guy playing the largest bass drum has to stand by himself and not dance because his drum is too big
2:09 – Moment of glory for the cymbals!
So, then I’m reminded of this video, which Dan recently brought my attention to:
And I can’t decide if I really like it, or if makes me nostalgic for a couple of years ago (when I first saw it, although the footage in the video is from 2005) when the guy who did this video was new and groundbreaking:
oh sweet lord. 2005 was 6 years ago. AND it’s Halloween which = almost Thanksgiving which = almost Hanukkah and Christmas. Blurrrrrrrgh.
Aw, Hanukkah song!
Totally didn’t know part 3 existed, but I think the original is my favorite.
That video led me to this and…Oh…wow. This might be too much.
Back to the Boyce avenue version. Much better.
You’re welcome.
the marching band version is so awesome!
when i watch youtube videos i always think of that one night in your apt when we watched youtube videos for a really really long time. probably due to the fact that we watched the roots reaction video for 2girls1cup over and over and over. good times. <3
Have you seen the video of Jack dancing to Party Rock? It’s his jam. I would love to see him dance to a marching band play it.
I cannot listen to “Dynamite” anymore without hearing the Chanukah version. It’s been that way for a solid year now. And yes, Meghan is right…Jack takes his Party Rock dancing very seriously. He has a “Party Rock face” he wears every time he dances to it.
