William Shatner has reached a new “Lo.”

In a stunt too absolutely absurd to overlook, The Artist Formerly Known as Captain Kirk dared to cover Cee-Lo Green’s soul-pop insta-classic “F**k You.”  In his signature “spoken word meets drunken hobo” style, Bill Shatner boldly goes where no man thought possible, managing to ruin a perfectly good radio hit.  Adding insult to injury, he achieved this feat on live television……..on the George Lopez show!

In the world of DIY choreography, Ok Go, are the undisputed heavyweights.  Having jumpstarted their career with the backyard classic, “A Million Ways,” the sultans of synchronization have since let loose with a chain of multi-platinum Youtube videos.  Previously, the foursome has tasked themselves with plotting and performing elaborate dances with a twist and a thick layer of Velveeta.  With the release of “This Too Shall Pass,” the gang kicked it up a notch, actually hiring an engineering firm to design and build the monumental tribute to Rube Goldberg.  This relinquishing of power was sign of what was to come.

The Brooklyn rap duo + hypeman, Das Racist, have been slowly turning heads since they released their faux classic single “Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell” in 2008.  At first listen the track reeks of flash-in-the-pan greatness, made possible by the wonders of the internet (and possible a great hypeman?).  However, the group has been steadily making headway, and in March of this year they dropped the Shut Up, Dude mixtape with production help from Diplo, Dame Grease, and Boi-1da.

Besides being the English language’s most neatly packaged and widely embraced method for expressing one’s dissatisfaction with another, “Fuck You” is the title of Cee-Lo Green’s newest single from the forthcoming album, The Lady Killer.  It’s a tale of, for lack of a better term, “heartbreakin’, golddiggin’ bitches” abandoning real love in the name of dolla dolla billz, y’all.

“Boy” has been “handpicked” as the debut single from The Orchard, Ra Ra Riot’s sophomore album, and the video recently crash-landed on the internet courtesy of label Barsuk Records.  A mere sixteen-count in and there’s no question why it is “the chosen one.”  The bubbling bass line immediately demands reciprocal head nodding.  If you’re not sure what this looks like, just watch the bassist, yo!

For a country of criminals, the Aussies sure know how to make a funny.  In this 90-second spot Honda: Down Under is marketing one of its subcompact models, the Jazz, to a new market sector:  Hipsters.  And why not, jazz is hip, right.  Maybe so, but how hip are very small cars manufactured by very large corporations?

Nobody has ever accused Yeasayer of being too normal.  With the release of the video for “Madder Red” they’ve assured themselves of at least another year of anti-mainstream street cred.  Equal parts weird and disgusting, the video stars “cute-as-a-button” Kristen Bell fawning over her beloved, but ailing pet, which resembles a goiter with a mangled baby leg projecting from it.
