funny It Happened to Me Music Work

It’s the Final Countdown!

It’s my last day here at Tucows, and at the risk of sounding like a film critic, I’m going to have to say that the feeling is bittersweet. Fittingly enough, this song is running through my head:

And I can’t mention that song without making reference to the most painful cover version ever:

Nine Inch NOELs!

Trent Reznor in a Santa Hat

Perhaps it’s a bit early for Christmas-related posts, but this can’t wait: it’s Lore Sjoberg’s musical project, Nine Inch Noels, which takes selected Nine Inch Nails lyrics and sets them to a medley of Christmas tunes:

  • Head Like a Hole sung to the tune of Santa Claus is Coming to Town
  • Down in It sung to the tune of Jingle Bell Rock
  • Hurt sung to the tune of Little Drummer Boy
  • Closer sung to the tune of the Jingle Cats/Jingle Dogs version of Jingle Bells
  • March of the Pigs sung to the tune of Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Paris and Britney

One of the best things about this photo is its filename — Paris Hilton v. Britney Spears:

More on the Family Guy “Where’s My Money?” Scene

Why Did Stewie Beat Up Brian?

Still from the “Where’s my money” scene from the “Family Guy” episode “Patriot Games”In the previous post, I included a YouTube video of the infamous “Where’s my money?” scene from Family Guy in which Stewie beats up Brian for not paying back a debt.

Maria, in a comment, asked:

So where was Stewie’s money? Why did Brian owe him money?

The scene is from the episode Patriot Games — the episode in which Peter joins the New England Patriots (and later gets kicked off the team and sent to join the London Silly Nannies).

In the episode’s other story, Stewie becomes a sports bookie. Brian uses his services to place a wager and loses $50 betting that Mike Tyson will beat Carol Channing in Celebrity Boxing. Brian takes his own sweet time paying the bet, and the savage beating ensues.

The “Where’s my money?” Scene, Anime-Style

While doing a search on YouTube for the scene, I found a number of versions in which anime fans took the dialogue and matched it with scenes from their favourite series.

Here are two in which the dialogue is matched with scenes from Naruto:

In this video, the “Where’s my money” scene gets the Dragon Ball Z treatment:

And here’s the Inuyasha version:

Battle Crab!

Big things are afoot ’round my way, so I’m a bit too busy for any substantial blogging today. In lieu of a meaty entry, how about some amusing photos?
