Katy Perry’s Victorian Dreams Go Up in Flames in ‘Unconditionally’

September 16, 2017By Daniel SternklarEntertainment, katy-perry, Music, music videos, prism, Roar, Videos, viral videoDaniel

Katy Perry has found an era that suits her perfectly — Victorian.

The pop star went retro-chic in a visually stunning music video for power ballad “Unconditionally,” the second single from her “Prism” album. There are gowns, snow, pearls, flower petals, an owl, underwater scenes and a bed on fire — so nothing really out of the ordinary for Perry.

Yes, unconditional love sometimes feels like being hit by a car… Or being on fire… How does it feel to you?

— Katy Perry (@katyperry) November 20, 2013

The singer recently told MTV that this music video would be a departure from her other videos because it “doesn’t have a complete narrative.”

“I usually have quite a big story line,” she said. “This time I wanted to give a lot of gorgeous, beautiful looks, which I don’t usually go for. But it’s mostly just a beautiful video that is supposed to evoke this power of love.”

Mission accomplished, Katy.

Perry also released a lyric video for the song in October, featuring models Janell Shirtcliff and Erika Linder.

The Secret of Viral Videos, in One Hilarious Parody

August 7, 2017By Daniel SternklarTrending Small Bottom, Videos, viral video, WatercoolerDaniel

We know, it’s a little meta, a viral video about viral videos. But how could we resist, when this parody encapsulates all we’ve ever wanted to know about making a video an online sensation.

“Buyral” seems to have tapped into the future of viral and is working to make viewers themselves obsolete — as long as it gets the clicks.

And Buyral looks like it has the edge in viral innovation, not only enlisting the elderly, but even the youngest of tots to be click engineers. And don’t forget those “clickterns,” making it possible for videos to explode, all without the messy job of getting real people to watch them.

This company even seems to have figured out that anyone can make a video go viral — it takes no skill, just outsourcing and an algorithm. And a lot of laptops and mice.

But we’re lucky someone has figured out the anatomy of a viral video. If not, then how would Mashable even have its Watercooler?

And don’t forget, with all that clicking — you gotta stretch.

Have you ever made a viral video? Tell us about it in the comments below.

Tara the Hero Cat ‘Throws’ Out First Pitch

July 31, 2017By Daniel SternklarBaseball, cat, hero cat, tara, Videos, viral video, WatercoolerDaniel

Tara the Hero Cat is a feline of many talents. Unfortunately, baseball isn’t one of them.

California’s Bakersfield Blaze invited Tara to throw out the first pitch on Tuesday night after a video of her saving a young boy from a vicious dog attack went viral last week.

The media hit the minor league baseball field in full force, and cameras rolled as Tara attempted to toss out a pitch as the boy she saved sat close by. Cats don’t exactly throw like A-Rod, so she sort of swatted at a ball on a string three times before her owner, Roger Triantafilo, admitted defeat and tossed out a real ball instead.

Tara blamed her bad toss on humans. Typical cat.

Well, I gave it my best shot, but my humans really got in the way. Everyone knows I’m left pawed.

— Tara Hero Cat (@taraherocat) May 21, 2014

It seems like a good time for her to take a much-deserved cat nap.

Baby Got Bassoon: Sir Mix-A-Lot Performs With Seattle Symphony Orchestra

July 16, 2017By Daniel SternklarOrchestra, Rap, video, Videos, viral video, WatercoolerDaniel

After 22 years, Sir Mix-A-Lot apparently still can’t lie about liking big butts.

“What I want to do is something you really should not do,” the MC and producer said in front of a sold-out audience at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall on Friday. What happened next might make you question everything you know about orchestras and songs about booties.

Women from the audience rushed the stage to accompany the 50-year-old rapper (and throw down some serious dance moves) as he performed his iconic 1992 hit “Baby Got Back” with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.

The event was part of Seattle Symphony’s Sonic Evolution event, intended to celebrate the past, present, and future of Seattle music.

BONUS: 14 Bizarrely Awesome Rap Cover Videos

14 Bizarre Hip Hop Song Covers

1. ‘Look At Me Now’ — Paul Vlahos

Paul Vlahos, a Sacramento, Calif.-based voice actor, gives spot-on impersonations of the Family Guy cast while rapping Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now.”

Peter, Cleveland, Joe, Herbert and, yes, even Stewie drop verses. There are a few FG references thrown into the mix, too. It’s nothing short of a spectacle.

Original song.
2. ‘Get Low’ — Dan Henig

There’s nothing that a fresh cappuccino and Lil’ Jon sonnet can’t cure.

Like 3-6-9, musician Dan Henig surprised a quiet group of coffee shop customers with an acoustic version of Lil’ Jon and the East Side Boyz’s “Get Low,” bringing them out of their caffeinated daze and over to both the windows and walls.

Original song.
3. ‘Hey Ya’ — Obadiah Parker

OK, not technically a “rap” song, but still a cool cover.

Mat Weddle, from Scottsdale, Ariz.-based folk band Obadiah Parker, gives a soothing rendition of Outkast’s 2003 classic.

Original song.
4. ‘Look At Me Now’ — Karmin

Pop duo (and real life sweethearts) Karmin has the Chris Brown fever, too. Watch this impressive cover of “Look At Me Now” (sans the Family Guy cast.)

Original song.
5. ‘B*tches Ain’t Sh*t’ — Ben Folds feat. Bob Saget

Ben Folds’ classic cover of Dr. Dre’s “B*tches Ain’t Sh*t.” Everyone’s favorite ’90s TV dad, Bob Saget, makes a surprise appearance during the second verse.

Original song.
6. ‘Lose Yourself’ — Taylor Swift

You had us at “yo.”

Original song.
7. ‘Ghetto Gospel’ — The Funky Fresh Sr Choir

“Come over here, kids, and let grandma sing you a song about that time the cops tried to catch her riding dirty.”

Probably one of the best things ever. This gospel choir, made up of predominately elderly men and women, tries their well-intentioned hands at five rap covers: Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” Chamillionaire’s “Riding Dirty,” Outkast’s “Hey Ya,” Pussy Cat Dolls’ “Don’t Cha” and Nelly’s “Hot in Here.”

Two words: Nailed it.
8. ‘Move B*tch’ — GANknowtheygotem

YouTube user GANknowtheygotem looks shyly into the camera, and says, “So .. this is my first ukulele video I’m putting on YouTube.”

There are a few seconds of modest silence, followed by: “Hope you enjoy it.”

Unexpected awesomeness ensues.

Original song.
9. ‘Tha Carter 3’ — Jordan DeLisser

Piano extraordinaire Jordan DeLisser performs a medley of Lil’ Wayne’s “Tha Carter 3” in its entirety. Awesome with a capital “A.”
10. ‘Still Fly’ — The Devil Wears Prada

Gator boots, a pimped out Gucci suit and five skinny punk kids. It’s a combo made in heaven.

This version of Big Tymer’s “Still Fly,” performed by metal band The Devil Wears Prada, appears on Fearless Records’ “Punk Goes Crunk” album.

Original song.
11. ‘Love The Way You Lie’ — Fate of the Hopeless

Why say something when you can scream it instead?

Metal band Fate of the Hopeless drops a grungy, yet strangely melodic cover of Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie.”

Original song.
12. ‘Slow Jamz’ — Jef Kearns and DJ Sean Sax

Paging Ron Burgundy.

Jef Kearns and DJ Sean Sax add some jazz flute “smooth” to Kanye West’s already groovy “Slow Jamz.”

Original song.
13. ‘Candy Shop’ — Dan Finnerty & The Dan Band

“So seductive.”

This finger-snapping cover, made famous by Dan Finnerty & The Dan Band in the final scene of 2009’s The Hangover, makes 50 Cent’s “Candy Shop” sound like an innocent jazz jam. Until you listen to the lyrics.

Original song.
14. ‘Men In Black’ — T.S. Miller

T.S. Miller drops this epic cover of Will Smith’s “Men in Black” by looping the guitar riff and drums, then singing — while adding in a few guitar solos on top — the whole thing.

Original song.
BONUS: ‘Hot Cheetos & Takis’ — Y.N. Rich Kids

It’s not a cover, but definitely worth referencing.

Y.N. RichKids is part of a Minneapolis after school program called Beats and Rhymes that helps kids experiment with music. They released this video about snacking back in April.

Guaranteed to make your day better.

I Can Haz Newz? Reporter Gets Cat Bombed

Fox-17, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, shared the video on their website, but not before DiDonato tweeted out the incident to the world.

The 2012 U.S. presidential election, fittingly dubbed the first meme election by some people, came to end this week when Americans re-elected Barack Obama.

While his victory messages went viral across Facebook and Twitter, other candid moments and political parodies caught people’s attention on the web (watch the video).

Never ones to stray away from attention, cats also clawed their way into the spotlight, as did Angry Birds.

BONUS: Speaking of Cats …

The 15 Best Cat Memes Ever

1. Nyan Cat

The most acclaimed web cat is Nyan Cat, an 8-bit animated feline, who won Meme of the Year at the Webby Awards in May.

The Pop Tart-shaped viral sensation stormed onto the Internet in April 2011 when illustrator Chris Torres introduced Nyan Cat to the masses via YouTube.

Since then, Nyan Cat’s fame has spawned a frequently updated website, video games, a soundtrack and many cute accessories.

“Nyan Cat has transformed into this viral entity that has surpassed not only everything I originally expected for my art but for memes in general,” Torres recently told Mashable. “It’s gained its own amazing subculture with incredibly creative fans.”
2. Keyboard Cat

Orange tabby cat Fatso (a.k.a. Keyboard Cat) most recently appeared in a parody of U.S. President Barack Obama’s Google+ Hangout in February 2012.

Keyboard Cat’s origins, however, date back to 1984, and its popularity rose in 2007 after a clip was uploaded to YouTube. That video now has 25 million views. Keyboard Cat tends to make appearances in spoofs and even in commercials.
3. Kitlers

Meet the Kitlers, cats that look like dictator Adolf Hitler — mustache included.

News channel CNN even gave the Kitlers a segment in 2010, after comedian Stephen Colbert gave the meme a nod.

And, naturally, a website dedicated to Kitlers exists.
4. Hipster Kitty

Don’t mess with the feline’s thick glasses and purple hoodie. Advice animal image macro Hipster Kitty knows everything about hipster culture before you do.

Tumblr and Reddit are credited with circulating this bad boy. Many hip cats have followed in Hipster Kitty’s footsteps, showing their support over at HipsterKitty.com
5. Invisible Bike Cat

Not many animals can say they’ve had a humongous mural made in their honor. Invisible Bike Cat can, though.

In 2008, people painted the LOLcat on a three-story building in San Francisco.

Well, that’s one way to take your Internet fame offline, eh?
6. Happy Cat

If you like the LOLcat website, I Can Has Cheezburger, you can thank its originator, Happy Cat.

Without Happy Cat, the humor website — which turned 5 this year — might not exist.

Maybe I Can Has Cheezburger will give Happy Cat a cameo in its forthcoming reality TV show.
7. Breading Cats

Warning: Please do try this at home.

Breading Cats, the series of photos featuring cats with bread has headgear, resurfaced this year after Gawker published an article about the “hot new Internet meme” in January. The meme began last fall.
8. Chemistry Cat

We’d call this wisecrack a “smarty pants,” but we’re not sure Chemistry Cat is wearing any.

This feline’s jokes are a thing of science…literally.
9. Longcat

This critter’s name says it all. Longcat is known for its body length.

“Longcat is LOOOOOOONG,” says the Longcat entry in Urban Dictionary.

The torso is likely good for “meows” and such.
10. Business Cat

What if your boss was a cat? The world may never know, but for now, you can live vicariously through Business Cat.

This tie-clad advice animal image macro series rattles orders similar to human office bosses.
11. Anxiety Cat

Not as cool as Hipster Kitty, this advice animal image macro is full of one emotion: anxiousness.

Anxiety Cat freaks out over every little thing, akin to real cats.
12. Serious Cat

Not gonna make any jokes here, you know, ’cause Serious Cat won’t care. We’ll let Urban Dictionary describe this uptight feline:

“A very f***ing serious white cat popularized by imdb.com user Timmys_DownTheBloodyWell. He is Emperor and Supreme overlord of a board called ‘The Sandbox’ as well as President of the Anti-squirrel coalition. In his spare time he enjoys spreading awareness of the seriousness of a thread, killing infidels (mostly squirrels), and he also taking long llama rides on the beach.”
13. Ceiling Cat

“Ceiling cat is watching you masturbate.” With those words plopped onto this photo, the pic rose to fame in 2006, according to Know Your Meme.
14. Lenin Cat

Russian communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin first got the cat meme treatment in 2007, when I Can Has Cheezburger posted a photo of the stern-looking cat with the attached text:

“MAKE READY MY SHIP GENERAL. IT IS TIME TO SHOW THOSE DOGS WHAT WE ARE MADE OF.”

The text-over-photo meme gives another meaning to “Leninism,” don’t you think?
15. OMG Cat

So this is how OMG Cat reacted when he found out he was chosen for Mashable‘s “15 Best Cat Memes Ever” list.

Watch the feline’s full react huuuuuur.

1. Don’t stress over minor wardrobe malfunctions.

2. Dance like everyone’s watching, and like everyone thinks you’re an amazing dancer.

3. Eat more cupcakes.

4. Simplify your beauty routine and fill your new free time with funny cat videos.

5. Invest as much time in your friendships as you do your ambitions.

6. Smile when you feel it — you never have to smile because someone tells you to.

7. Remember that almost any problem can be solved with a hot shower.

8. If you’re embarrassed by some ridiculous thing you did, think of all the people who make a living that way.

9. Try something new, even if think you’ll fail.

10. Don’t get hung up on other people’s expectations for your life.

11. If you’re over-thinking, draw a mustache on something that traditionally doesn’t have a mustache. It’s a tension breaker.

12. Throw on an unusual outfit and don’t worry what others will think, concentrate on how it makes you feel.

13. Don’t worry about how you look in every picture. Funny photos will be more entertaining to look back at than one that’s perfectly posed.

14. Make this face, preferably in the mirror. If the action of smiling makes you feel happier, this will make you feel like your problems will work themselves out.
