Charles Ramsey is not your typical hero. That much was obvious in his interview last week after helping rescue three kidnapped women who had been held in a basement for a decade. That interview was soon turned into a song that became a viral sensation.
Ramsey told TMZ that he absolutely adores the autotuned version of his interview. He told the Web site that that he “couldn’t have ever done something like that” and that he fully intends to “bump it like I’m Tupac.”
So, what is Ramsey doing now that he has become an Internet sensation? He says that he’s now a manager for a local hip-hop artist named Mike Feez. The first song from Mike Feez will be out later this year, and is called “Dance Lyke U Humpin.”
Mr. Rogers autotuned: If you’re one of the few unfortunate souls who has yet to hear “Garden of Your Mind”, an official collaboration between PBS Digital Studios and John D. Boswell, then you’re seriously missing out on one of the eeriest autotune songs currently available on the Internet. Using clips from several episodes of Fred Rogers’ iconic PBS series “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood”, Boswell (aka melodysheep) has crafted something truly remarkable and, believe it or not, weirdly mesmerizing.
Here’s what PBS had to same about the project:
When we discovered video mash-up artist John D. Boswell, aka melodysheep, on YouTube, we immediately wanted to work together. Turns out that he is a huge Mister Rogers Neighborhood fan, and was thrilled at the chance to pay tribute to one of our heroes. Both PBS and the Fred Rogers Company hope you like John’s celebration of Fred Rogers’ message.
As Josh predicted yesterday, it hasn’t taken very long for this sucker to go viral. After giving the song one, two, or twelve spins, check out some Twitter reactions to this loving tribute to a man who helped define and shape many a childhood in his day. You’ll find the aforementioned comments positioned beneath the embedded video. Enjoy!
Though Microsoft’s CES keynote may not have contained any earth-shattering product news, there was apparently one little gem thrown in to entertain the crowd. As part of the keynote, which is the company’s last, Microsoft showed a video that recapped the company’s fifteen years of CES keynotes in two minutes. The best part? It’s a music video made from autotuned snippets of Bill Gates’ and Steve Ballmer’s keynotes. Check out the video below, and let us know what you think in the comments. Personally, I’m going to be hearing Ballmer’s “Bing Bing Bing” in my head for the rest of the day.
