Kids singing songs chalk full of terrible lyrics is really having a moment. Here, Kory Shore is "Crying for America" in his new patriotic ballad. Also featuring OG founding father, George Washington.
This month Rebecca Black's "Friday" hit the Internet like audio-visual swine flu—and the Internet hit back. She seemed to come out of nowhere, possibly autotuned from her first word. But Black was spawned by the vanity production company Ark Music Factory. We spoke with Ark Music Factory CEO Patrice Wilson, who claimed "Friday" was dumb by design.
This month, the world lost a hip-hop legend. These three musicians paid tribute by performing a live, acoustic version of his classic "Regulate," remixed using toy instruments and cello.
Blame the rise of spontaneous outbursts into song on Glee all you want but this kid actually composed a pretty solid tune. That's high school gold right there so it's no surprise the girl said yes.
With impressive animation, a great soundtrack, and a few adorable dogs, this video makes "dog boarding" seem almost real. Your dog can not only fetch your news paper, it can help you nail a sweet Ollie. Man's best friend, indeed.

Anarchy! Within reason. All four backing members of punk rock outfit Screeching Weasel have left the band, after a disastrous show at South by Southwest in which longtime frontman Ben "Weasel" Foster taunted the crowd, then struck two women, before spending the rest of the show bitching about The SXSW Man, man.

All right, so maybe you aren't Rebecca Lanier old. You're still old. How old? Let's put it this way: You know that baby with the afro on the cover of The Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die? His name is Keithroy Yearwood, and he's now 18. In the video, Yearwood and his folks recount how he was plucked from child model obscurity, only to be marked for greatness as the poopie-diapered symbol of a hip-hop generation. As cover-baby reunions go, it's pretty satisfying—even if it lacks the bold, full-frontal diaperlessness of Nevermind's Spencer Elden, now a 20-something street artist living in LA.
