For the first 26 seconds, I was like, “Hmmm, what song is this?” Then it hit me. Brilliant.
Yes, it’s a few weeks old. Spare us the “I saw it already” comments; some of us don’t read Screenhead everyday. (Via Lindsayism.)

Wha? Who doesn’t read Screenhead every day?
My hometown is finally on stereogum!
i have issues with the “hot chick” photo in that montage.
while paired with a fly pair of sneakers, that chick is dece at best. bring on the alba, yo.
This is totally sweet. It is yet more good that has come out of R Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet” style of song writing. Someone should give this guy, to say nothing of R Kelly, Nobel Prizes for Awesomeness.
You will not get off so easy on this one. This is several weeks old. Come on now, first the microsoft ipod, now this. Contemporize, man.
Next thing you know, you might discover 700 hoboes.
And another thing, tell Stephanie Seymour or whoever the hell that is in your ad to get her FAT FINGER OUT OF MY FACE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it Candice Bergen? Kinda hard to tell with the fat finger in the way.
alright… that’s really fucked up. no i’m not kidding that’s really fucked up. i can’t even smoke weed on my work break and come back in and look at stereogum anymore. i’m done. there was a huge thunderclap in oakland right as i finished watching that. that is so fucked up. what the fuck? stereogum: i’m done with you. i don’t think that’s funny. no no no no…
by the way… dr. dog will still conquer all of your hearts and minds… and asses…. and they’ll bring their friends the teeth along with tooo.
thats so fucked up….
i’m so unhip.
fuck.
love,
nehemiah
This was funny, but Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players much? And they had a lot less material to work with too. Plus a cute kid on drums.
What the duck is this? Would my Britishness get in the way of any kind of profound understanding or is it s’posed to be just a load of ‘randomming’? hmmmmmmmm
hmm. i work in that pie place.
That’s not Stephanie Seymour, that’s JZ Knight – Ramtha her/himself! My question: Did Ramtha specifically request Stereogum as an advertising vehicle. This isn’t exactly the Yanni/Lynda Evans crowd. . .
Meh. I don’t get it. Bad music, banal lyrics, random images, so what?
Meh.
confused – anyone care to explain?
first, find the dipshit who spent all day googling images and kick his ass for making garbage like this. then gangbeat stereo-fuckface for defacing an otherwise reputable website and wasting my time by calling this mediocre piece of middle school bullshit “brilliant.” p.s. this coutlon kid is a fag, the not a cigarette kind for that british fool up there.
Wow. We should put Nehemiah and Matt in a room together and let them beat the shit out of each other. Maybe that would vent some of their pent-up rage.
GG, you have a blog called “15 minute hipster,” your opinion is meaningless. Anyone who refers to himself as a “hipster” is a fucking poser.
Chil y’all. Ain’t nobody can say Coulton ain’t the ril dil. He’s got mad skills and an hilarious corpus of work. I only impugned the lateness of our dear gummies posting of said song, and do not wish to imply any ill will against Mr. Coulton, whom I hold in the highest of esteem. Unlike effing Ramtha and the g-dammed FAT FINGER!!! WAVE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU SLAG!!!
am i the only one who doesn’t find this funny?
Remarkably similar to Dan Fogelberg’s “Ode To Comstock” from ’77.
“am i the only one who doesn’t find this funny?”
Are you even reading the comments?
I thought it was great.
I laughed until I cried. Then later in the day I found myself humming the song and cracked up again. It reminds me of when I was little and my brother and I would make up soul jamz or metal odes to whatever we were doing at the time.
“ya i’m putting some ketchup on my hot dog”
“oooh baby love the ketchup”
It’s just silliness.
Yeah, it’s just clever and silly. Funny, maybe not hilarious, but funny nonetheless. The fact that some people don’t “get it” is strange. Probably those are the Yanni fans. . .
Awesome. This and the recent Simpsons live-action remake are the best “virals” I’ve seen in a long time.
So, what song is this then? Maybe I’ll ‘get it’ if someone could tell me that?
As it is it just seems to be a nicely put together bunch of random pics with a sappy song.
Anyone?
This song/video combo is a love song to flickr and the creative commons license. More specifically, the random, tagged nature of flickr. I guess you’d have to be a user for a while to really dig it yo.
oh man… i’m not angry… i’m just scared shitless of that kind of sentiment. i can’t see THROUGH it.
ps… looks like i came back to stereogum. tail between legs.
There’s more snark than sentiment to it, really.
This is the first time I saw this. Thanks for posting!
