Start your Friday morning right with this video featuring Minister Cleo Clariet and his then fiancé Katherine Lane singing a song about breakfast with "no mo' bacon, no mo' sausage" and even "no mo' Capt'n Crunch!" His fiance though looks like she's spacing out imagining eating all that food. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYqM9-Fj0Pg&fmt=18]
Apparently Clariet passed away in 2004, but thanks to the Internet and YouTube he'll forever live on with his song bemoaning a breakfast with no mo' food. I hope wherever he is he can eat all the breakfast to his spirit's content.

In anticipation of the SXSW music festival (currently in full swing), after listening to all the bands' mp3s, Paul Ford reviewed them all, with each review succinctly limited to six words.
Bill Rice Band: She dumped him, and his guitar.

Update: Vanilla Ice takes to the street to apologize again in this "viral" campaign for Virgin Mobile. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22a_Q3DA24w&fmt=18]

Watching this Japanese robot playing a violin is convincing me that the uncanny valley is just over the next horizon. Time to go to the nearest Costco and stock up on canned food and shotgun shells for the imminent robot uprising. Mark my words. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzjkBwZtxp4&fmt=18]

John Huntington explains the crowd's delayed reaction during Garth Brooks' performance of the classic participatory song "Shout" during the President Obama's pre-inauguration. It's more fascinating than it "sounds." [vimeo=http://vimeo.com/2887685]

On a nostalgia tip, this medley of classic hip hop tunes remixed as a NES games soundtrack is one of the hottest things I've come across this week. It's going to make you want to go rescue the princess with Luda and Hova.
Unfortunately I can't embed the music file here, but go here to listen.

Israeli weapons and arms firm Rafael displayed this Bollywood-esque video (with subtitles!) at the Aero India 2009, an annual air show held in Bangalore. It's almost as catchy as Jai Ho! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktQOLO4U5iQ&fmt=18]
Together, forever / we'll never be apart.
The next line may or may not be "Until the Rafael air to surface standoff missile hits us like a cupid dart! Jai ho!"

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWy4Fklp7Cw&fmt=18] Slumdog Millionaire definitely set the bar high for hanging out with my Indian friends. They'd be a lot more fun to party with if they busted out in synchronized Bollywood dance.

Time lapse video of tourists recreating the famous Beatles' Abbey Road album cover. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKCG3zMEsYs&fmt=18&fmt=18]
Some trivia about the iconic cover:
The cover designer was Apple Records creative Director Kosh. The cover photograph was taken by photographer Iain Macmillan. Macmillan was given only ten minutes around 11:30 that morning to take the photo. ... The man standing on the pavement in the background is Paul Cole (1911 - d 13 February 2008) a US tourist unaware he'd been photographed until he saw the album cover months later.
Confession: When I was in London some years back I too visited this street.
