MySpace: The Music Video

People have been telling us to check this out for weeks ... but we were busy. On MySpace.

Finally got around to it, and this MySpace parody is pretty funny (way funnier than that pathetic Digital Short SNL tried to pull off last night). Plus, Celeste's friend's band The Fresh wrote the song. On MySpace it's always a small word!

This song is great, but come on, that SNL digital short was freaking hilarious. Please don't cut off my testicles.

You know what's amazing about this video?

The guy playing the guitar ... is playing it right-handed and it doesn't look like the guitar has been re-strung. Who's he trying to be? Jimi Hendrix?

I can't tell if he's intentionally "faking it" in the video ... or this is a subtle joke ... because he definitely looks like he's grabbing a G and a D chord in there ... but backwards.

Was the video "reversed" like so many MySpace in-the-bathroom-mirror self-portraits?

Dossy Shiobara: he's left handed and playing a right handed guitar.

Simply rad.


The fact that people don't believe me when I say I don't have a myspace account is enough evidence that the majority of teenagers are slaptards.

comedian Demetri Martin's "Trendspotting" about myspace was so much better. As was his song, I Got 9000 Friends (on Myspace).

Scott's right. It was alright until the whole chorus about the testicles. I was expecting a better payoff. But I liked Tom Hanks acting like Right Said Fred in a kitchen.

I second Holly's kudos for "Trendspotting". Myspace related humor is so rarely funny. There was a myspace "movie" that someone put up that was painfully bad after the first 30 seconds. Someone else can waste time posting a link, I won't give it 30 seconds more of my time.

I love this video so much! I laugh so hard everytime I watch it. MySpace is taking over the world, it's kinda scary. I want an MP3 for this awesome song!

OMG! I love this! I HATE myspace! It's so stupid -- I love how this complements that reality. It's so hilarious!
