"Proposals Gone Wrong Very Sad"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utZdEYN1vbs

"If I propose in a public place, it would be too embarrassing for her to say no. That's how I'll get her..." Sounds like a plan :smile:

A marriage proposal should never be a surprise. I've been married twice and both times we had been talking about getting married for awhile and we had agreed upon it already, it was a no brainer.

I can't imagine someone popping the question unless both had already agreed upon it.

If you google, you would find that there are overwhelming number of sites that advice on making marriage proposal a big surprise. I don't know if that's what most people believe in.

I only read first 6:

3. Take her/him to the theatre and ask the stage manager if he will ask her/him to marry you after the final curtain. This is the perfect ending to a perfect evening.

4. Turn up at her/his office in the middle of the afternoon armed with a red rose, a bottle of champagne and a glass with the ring in it.

5. Write will you marry me --- her/his name in chalk on the street out side your apartment in big enough letters so that she/he will notice it.

6. Phone up your local radio station and get them to pop the question for you over the air waves at a time that you know she/he will be listening. Then dedicate a song to her/him.

# Put your proposal up with the ads before a movie and take your sweetie early to see the show. You can contact your local theater for advertising information or contact a large theater such as Regal Cinemas for advertising information.

# Sky write it. Contact a local skywriting company and plan to have them display your proposal on a clear afternoon while you're out. One idea... spend a Saturday afternoon at the beach (or a lake?) and arrange for the skywriting while you're there.

35. Take her/him up in a hot air balloon with a bottle of champagne and announce that'll you'll jump if she/he doesn't marry you.

hmhm... nothing is as romantic as a surprise suicide threat?

The last one is bizarre:

50. For the last one send your loved one a coffin (he he he) only joking...

I see! It's only a joke. But the first 49 were serious?

IMO that's a very interesting web page. But I'm not sure what's its purpose. A psychological experiment to find out what you can incite people to do? An eugenics plan to ensure that dumb people wouldn't reproduce?

I felt this was very good casting. Initially, I thought they should have used a tire with a more aggressive tread design. In the end, the road type rain channels added a Norman Bates type creepiness to the tire's character. Surprisingly good acting that I wouldn't have expected from a tire.

I couldn't bring myself to post this under the greatest songs thread, but the real measure of a classic video is not the quality of the video itself, but whether the video creates a whole new genre of video (much like that crazy furniture store commercial).

The song has generated a slew of parodies, most of which are better than the original song.

The world has long needed a song dedicated to fried eggs.

I think it could be argued that the parody teaches a more important lesson than the original video did - which hand is which vs which day comes before the other. After all, can you really say Saturday comes after Friday if Saturday comes before Sunday, which comes before Monday, which comes before Tuesday, which comes before Wednesday, which comes before Thursday, which comes before Friday? The days of the week are all so circular it could make a person dizzy (especially if the person is blonde).

I was also going to put it in best songs but, random thoughts was right next to me so I went for the RT thread.

I have never seen any video that has this bad ratings:
102,495 likes, 855,543 dislikes

But, she is just a little girl, and donated all her 30K revenue from his video to Japan which is good.

The company that wrote and produced the song write and produce songs for lots of aspiring artists (provided the artist or their family pay the production costs, kind of like a vanity press type company). All of the other songs they wrote are just vapid fillers, making all of their artists resemble generic beer. Only the artists friends and families would ever be proud of them (that butterflies song might be an exception - her family must have had to pay extra). And what's with the rapper cruising along in his automobile - he gets patched into practically every little girl video that company produces.

As vapid as their standard song is, Rebecca's family must have only been able to afford songs even Ark Music rejected - and somehow they managed to get a song that crossed the line from vapid to so incredibly stupid that no one could resist it! She's almost as transfixing as William Hung!

The bad ratings are only because the viewers hate themselves when they start singing along. :smile:

Party, party ... yeaah!
Party, party ... yeaah!
Fun, fun, fun, fun.

That's almost as fun to sing as "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes; knees and toes".
 
Here's the original version of Rebecca Black's song - before her parents heard it and ordered it redubbed with the computerized voice on the released version:

I like that Friday video. But then I also like Mento's commercials.

Here's the Bob Dylan version:


Wow! I was so ready to laugh at that, but I...I...actually like it!

I know just what you mean. The wisdom, emotion, and just pure memories formed into lyrics that could have no equal. Bob Dylan is an absolute genius at creating the humans greatest love, music. I had this song played at my wedding and when the chorus came in a tear rolled down my cheek as I stared into my partners eyes. She smiled, wiped it away, and said to me "Gotta get down on Friday."

The reason I had this played at my wedding was that back in 1984, the year before I was born, I played this song at my cat's funeral, which was on a Friday. What Dylan did here was encapsulate the meaning of Friday, partying, and fun - so much so that I had to name my cat Friday. Every time I play this song on my digital phonograph I remember the good time's I had with Friday, and how we partied, spent many a hours choosing a seat, and had fun/cereal.

I'm glad Friday has been posted here already. It's only been a few weeks since the song was posted on Comedy Central, yet the song has beaten Justin Bieber on iTunes, and the bed intruder song on YouTube (86 vs. 78 million views).

Here are some Friday-related videos I liked:
(Good Morning America interview)
(Friday without autotune)
(Benni Cinkle FAQ)
