The History of Lyrics That Aren’t Lyrics [Video]

CC Staff — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 21:00:31 +0000

Sometimes the best parts of a song aren’t the meaningful lyrics or the soulful crooning, but rather the nonsensical words that an artist makes up for the chorus. The part of the song that you find yourself singing along to — even though you aren’t even sure what you’re singing.

Some Youtube geniuses put together all these lyrics to make an awesome mash-up. Watch below!

The Greatest Electric Slide Ever Slid [Video]

Jenni - Syracuse — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:00:02 +0000

Last week was the NYC marathon and tons of supporters and fans came out to support the runners. I nursed a massive hangover instead. Biggest mistake of my entire life because some of these fans and supporters pulled off what may be the coolest impromptu electric slide performance I’ve ever seen. The only thing that’s on my bucket list is to participate in a spontaneous choreographed dance and it looks like I just missed a golden opportunity to cross that off the list.

Sesame Street Gets Down with Will.I.Am

CC Staff — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 21:00:11 +0000

Sometimes we all need that extra little push to get ourselves over Hump Day and this awesome video will help you get there. It’s cute, it’s catchy, and for all our bible-thumping-no-sex-having readers out there, it’s totally PG. Will.I.Am? Yes.I.Will.

The Graduation Speech Mashup [VIDEO]

CC Staff — Mon, 24 May 2010 16:00:35 +0000

By now most of the college graduations have come and gone. You (former) seniors have already thrown out that overpriced, hot (as in temperature, not sexy factor) gown; hung that tassel from your rear view mirror; and opened all those necessary-but-totally-boring (luggage? WTF?) gifts. And you’ve probably forgotten the important lessons shared with you by your influential speaker. Or you were too blacked out to pay much attention to them in the first place.

Well, don’t worry, my friends-who-are-now-joining-me-in-the-real-world; the Internet has got you covered. Here, in only 4 minutes and from the comfort of your very own bed (which you are undoubtedly lying in, crying, surrounded by the crumbs/shrapnel of depressed eating), is a little mashup of this year’s best graduation speeches. Maybe they’ll motivate you or inspire you. Or maybe they’ll just give you four minutes free of tears, fears and anxiety. Either way, enjoy. And congratulations!

(And for all you undergrads who can still call college home, you can enjoy this too. Along with another few years of college. Lucky bastards.)

A very big thanks to the Huffington Post for this rad vid.

This is Miley’s Fault [VIDEO]

Does watching this make anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable?
I’m no fortune teller, but I’ll put $20 down right now that all 5 of these girls will be on Teen Mom Season 10.

WTF Friday: Cheetah Girl Gone Bad [VIDEO]

CC Staff — Fri, 07 May 2010 17:00:09 +0000

[Disclaimer: We realize this video isn't exactly new, but it's new to us and if you heard the WTFs rippling through our office, you'd understand why we just had to share it.]

I don’t know what’s worse about this video – the fact that Kiely Williams is a former Disney Cheetah Girl, the lyrics (“Last I remember I was face down, ass up, clothes off….”), the booty dancing on a random brick wall, or the naked dude’s butt just hanging out while she does her thing. It’s bad. Awful. Probably the worse thing I’ve seen since Britney’s “Gimme More” performance at the VMAs. And I’m not the only one who has a problem with it; even our favorite hater Kingsley has something to say.

Sure, we’ve all been there before, but that’s something we tell our friends over coffee in our pajamas on a Sunday morning, not to a beat in a pair of sequin booty shorts.

WTF, Kiely?
Seriously, what. the. eff.?

Single On V-day? It Could Be Worse… [VIDEO]

Jessica- FIT — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 21:00:54 +0000

There is something about the date February 14^th that brings out the “crazy” in all of us single girls.

During any other time of the year, we may be loving single life and having a blast with our friends (or friends for the night…). But then something happens. February rolls around and pink and red decorative hearts start appearing everywhere, sending us into a fit of hysteria. We feel a sense of urgency that suddenly it is not OK to be alone. We consider settling for that weird dude on campus who wears shorts and sandals year round. We shovel down quarts of ice cream, crying to our friends about how no guy will ever love us, and that we may as well become nuns or lesbians.

On every other day we are completely content with our lives, but Valentine’s Day hits and we peg ourselves future cat ladies, destined for lives of misery and fur balls.

But hold on, ladies. No matter how single you are and crazy you feel right now, take solace in the fact that you’ll never stoop this low:

And if that doesn’t make you feel better, well, at least you’re not dating John Mayer.…
