The Sublime and The Ridiculous
The Sublime In The Ridiculous
After the last collection which contained it`s fair share of angst, I guess Sammy just inspires that sort of thing, I decided to declare this a totally angst free zone in my campaign to get through hellatus smiling.
The videos in this collection are all silly, funny and some, just weird, quite a few of them feature music by Weird Al Yankovic. I remember years ago hearing his version of Michael Jackson`s “Beat It” but I did not know until I discovered You Tube quite how prolific he is. He has written countless parodies of so many artists and musical genres, his lyrics are really worth checking out. One of my favourites is his “tribute” to Nirvana, “Smells like Nirvana”. “What is this song all about? Can`t figure any lyrics out? ……… Well I`m mumblin` and I`m screamin` and I don’t know what I`m singin…” Check it out on You Tube. I did like “Smells Like Teen Spirit” but Kurt Cobain`s diction did leave a lot to be desired. His work has, naturally, inspired quite a few SPN vidders! Some of the other videos I have included just because they make me feel good! Hope they do you too.
The first one is recent find that I cannot stop watching, I just love this, and you will find yourself “singing” along, trust me. It`s infectious. The vidder is MulkEntertainment, the video is called “Dude, where`s the pie?”

Here is the first one using Weird Al`s music. I felt as it was my first experience of his unique talent I should include this track and, well what else are you going to do when you get your pie? This is “Eat It!” The vidder is MsDoctorWhoFan1.

We need something to wash all that food down. I think we all know our boys` liquid of choice? This video is edited by abbalipps1 and has another Weird Al track, “The Beer Song.”

I have used videos by ash4897 quite a few times before, but she is so talented. Her editing is brilliant, and even the pec twitch is in time with the music here! I think we should all be thankful our days are not like theirs, this one features Dolly Parton’s track “9 to 5.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQnf81dQr9U
This one is a real oddity! It should also come with a warning, if you are offended by bad language you might want to skip to the next video as there are a LOT of expletives in this! Personally, I really don`t like `effing and jeffing` for the sake of it, but I have to admit, this makes me cry laughing, and it is educational, a complete literacy lesson! It is made by theflyingflea and is called “History of the word F*ck.” I just adore the subtitles and the confused expressions.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Raw0qFn1IU0
Talking about words, just how many can you pack into one lyric? Here`s another offering from Weird Al used in a video by ringwench. It contains some very useful advice too, “Try not to shove a roll of duct tape up your nose whilst taking your driver`s test.” I think we could all agree with that. This is your Horoscope.

I will admit some of these videos are included partly as an excuse for me to listen to songs I just love. This is the first of two in this collection that qualifies on that score. Here we are going for a total Texan overload, jaredpadaleckifan has used “Sharp Dressed Man” by the wonderful ZZ Top to illustrate just how good suits can look.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z1RRwxzmb4
I could have included this one before as it is from the Disney film from last year “Tangled.” I think this is one for the weird category but it made me laugh! The vidder is StrangelittleInvader and the clip is called “I`ve got a dream.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDQ8Wv-Id6s
Back to the weirdness of Al again, this is a lyric containing a few `subtle innuendos` but also many, many truisms. I do think Sam could melt elastic, Cas has eyes as blue as the water in a toilet and there are some lips which should be registered as weapons. The video was edited by Tolkripoedon and is called “Wanna B ur Lovr.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3Q7aI8iN7U
Another chance to sing along here with a celebration of ALL the men of Supernatural, including one I really liked, the much mourned Ron! Winchesterus set her work to The Weather Girls karaoke classic “It`s Raining Men.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQvcOtIjcoM
If that one did not make you smile this one must! It is a real cheer up video. It features a song called “Smile” by Mcfly and is edited by SamPaulLover.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38BEvLknJfI
Everyone knows that Star Wars was something of an inspiration for Eric Kripke and the creator of this video, Nooshkaka, uses this knowledge. They have set their work to another Weird Al track `The Saga Begins` aka a rip off of American Pie. Here we have Sam as Anakin Skywalker.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-fQmpqb-xY
I was going to resist as I want to include it in another collection, but I would be in trouble if I didn`t do this! Here is the other Weird Al song inspired by Star Wars, it`s by SciFiLover 84, this is “The Cantina.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz_7Ggecmhg
Now, here is my second musical indulgence. The editing here is fantastic and I think this would make a great advertisement for our show. The vidder is deirdrecee and they have used a short excerpt from Emerson, Lake and Palmer`s `Karn Evil Nine`. (Please take note of the warning at the end).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIppdlXs8og
I never really watched South Park but that does not mean I can`t appreciate this. It`s another strange one, but funny. Edited by Hay1ock it`s called “In The Park.” Just how many times did they kill Kenny?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXdIj0v0iso
Back to Weird Al, this time taking his inspiration from one of my musical heroes Brian Wilson, this is from his very early work with The Beach Boys, These lyrics are great, especially the middle eight;
Come on and grab your ammo
What have you got to lose?
We’ll all get liquored up
And shoot at anything that moves
It is another video by SciFiLover 84, this is “Trigger Happy.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZd-g4ERGmI
Needless to say this next one has been included because it falls into the category of just making me feel good. How I got through so many collections before this appeared I have no idea. It`s by nihilion86. All together now `Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom bom.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJtAwQUXSQ0
The next vidder has sort of re made a favourite episode, they have created “The Adventures of The Winchester Brothers.” This is episode 1, “Up In The Air,” needless to say it uses scenes from Phantom Traveller and is really cute. It`s again edited by MulkEntertainment.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bPRCM9sU2Q
Here is another video from jaredpadaleckifan. I think this one could prove popular considering how we love the `Winchester Hugs` which is all it consists of, you can play spot your favourite hug! It is set to an instrumental of a song which we are all familiar with, and it even has backing vocals so you can be the lead singer. Go on, you know you want to, but please remember, sing it from the hair!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oqfPO2FxmE
If you were not confident with the lyrics on the previous video you have no excuses here. This is Supernaturaloke and the lyrics are onscreen. The vidder is becky1978 and she has set Season 5 to the tune of “Mambo No. 5.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnOuehr_ij4
I have a musical disclaimer for this as, I am sorry if there are Lady Gaga fans out there, but I am not one of them! But, I cannot resist this video, it makes me grin like an idiot, I don`t even need to see it, I hear this on a radio and it sets me off. The vidder is RisenShine22 and the editing is great, this is “Dance with Supernatural.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFWQgf7JyWw
This is one to cheer up anyone who feels they have had a bad day. Maybe after watching this you will reconsider, perhaps your life is not that bad after all! The video was edited by Tilly2baStar, she uses a track by Flogging Molly, “The Worst Day Since Yesterday.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5gXGx_ssnY
This final video is here just because it is so beautiful! I think everyone will agree. It was made by My February12. Totally gratuitous but …..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltay3tMOprs
I really hope everyone finds something here to cheer them up and they have provided a few smiles, any other suggestions?
I love you just for including videos made to Weird Al songs. I LOVE him and then to watch scenes of my favorite TV show set to his hilarious lyrics, well, totally made my evening. Thanks so much for taking time to share these videos with us and putting a smile on our face, a song in hearts, and laughter on our lips.
As for suggestions, one favorite that comes to mind Supernatural (In My Pants) by deirdrecee. I would provide the link, but for some reason I’m having trouble with that 🙁
Hello Ebony
Thank you. So pleased you enjoyed the weird ones and the `Al` 🙂
Think there is something wrong with the one you recommended, I tried to post the link for you but it refuses to play correctly, you can hear the track but the picture keeps freezing, thanks for trying though, Ju
Oh, these are beyond sublime. I laughed, I cried. I yearned (possibly more than would be deemed appropriate….. Ah well!)
Thanks Julie. Always much appreciated. Hellatus? What hellatus!
Hi Tim and thanks,
I think we are all guilty on the yearning front at times 😉
We can see the end of hellatus on the horizon now we know everyone is back at work on Season 7 🙂
Ju
Great, a series of unseen videos, at least by me. As soon as my time is my own I will settle down to watch them all, thanks.
Thanks for your comment isleofskye
Really pleased I found some here that are new to you.
I know it takes a while to plough through all these, but I hope people can dip in and out when they have a spare few minutes or need a quick `fix`.
I cant think of a better way to kill some time 🙂
Hope you enjoy them, Ju
Super awesome videos, thanks. You always have great choices and many of them are new to me. Love Weird Al 😆 I mostly gravitate toward angsty videos and songs; but one that really makes me laugh is The Official Supernatural Drinking Game (Hardcore Edition) by Lsketch42. I have never actually played the game ; if you do- don’t drive.
Hi marilyn
I have a confession, I really love all the angsty ones too, in fact I am just in the midst of putting together a collection of these, they seem to feature all the best songs. it will be interesting to see if we have the same favourites, I hope you will let me know yours!
You are also right about the Drinking game, it is a classic and deserves to be here
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mTUN18AFP4[/youtube]
It never fails to make me laugh, I love the reactions in this one
Thanks for your comment Ju
Julie,
Thanks 😉 I can hardly wait to see your collection of angsty.
Thanks so much, I had never seen that one, I actually think I’m a little drunk! Great videos by the way, I love the ones that make me laugh. Summer, vacation, Hellatus, perfect!
Hi Sylvie
There are I think 3 in the series so you could end up under the table if you watched/played them all. 😛
Glad you are enjoying the silly! Ju
Oh, they’re too good Julie! “Eat it” was actually one of my favourites, and I LOVE that Weird Al’s song! 😀
I watched a “Mr. Sandman” video about our beloved Bobby that fitted so so perfectly:

And then there is the classic “Ghostbusters” theme… here’s one of the several videos on this music:

And to match “It’s raining men”, here’s a Bonnie Tyler classic:

Hello Brynhild
Thanks for your comment and suggestions.
I really love the `Ghostbusters` one although they dont exactly inspire confidence in that one do they 🙂
I have seen the Mr Sandman one before and it is very sweet. I think everyone knows I love Bobby so much but I am sorry there will only ever be [b]one[/b] Mr Sandman in my mind 😉 🙂 Ju
Hello Brynhild
