Eric Whitacre‘s Virtual Choir 3 is awesome and kinda creepy at the same time.

His call for the Virtual Choir 3.0, which included a purpose-built website to make video collection easier and more uniform, set a new record. It included 3476 videos from 76 different nations, including one from Vanuatu. That is the video you see above.

Very cool, and it gives me nightmares with all the faces singing music that I don’t really care for in an ethereal fashion when it’s really time for R&R. I don’t mean “Rest & Relaxation” either. I mean Romney/Ryan, Mitt talking about HIS VP compared to Barry’s:

Michigan bar band Brownsville Station‘s hit “Smokin In The Boys’ Room” was a built-in classic, and here they cover Robert Parker‘s 1966 hit “Bare Footin’” as well.

Kinda self-explanatory for you peeps who need no explanatrons on

Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs‘ 1960 hit “Stay” is perhaps the greatest doowop song of all time, given the amount of compression. It’s also the shortest song to ever make the Number One slot on BillBoard’s Hot 100 Chart, clocking in at an impressive 99 seconds.

Although Duane Eddy had a US hit with “Some Kinda Earthquake” in 1959 (1:19), the next shortest song to make it to No. 1 in the U.S. was The Boxtops‘ 1967 hit “The Letter,” at 2 minutes.

I gotta stop rambling, except for one more thing. My current all time short favorite (1:28) is Liam Lynch‘s 2003 hit: “The Overnight Open Thread.”
