What a funny place this internet, huh?

After my last posting which provided links to video treatments of my songs, ‘Company’ (co-written by Stuffy Shmitt) and ‘Lydia’, I received a comment from Mac reminding me of an hilarious video he shot, a while back, based on the Blenders version of my song, ‘McDonald’s Girl’. It was choreographed by two cheerleaders and performed by five seniors from the football squad in front of the entire school in Sedro-Woolley, a town in the Northwest Corner of the state of Washington. It put a big smile on my face. You can catch it at the following link:

But that’s not all, folks. Do check out this other video treatment of ‘McDonald’s Girl’, also using the Blenders recording and produced by dj/video producer, Kevin Holmes. I can’t tell you what a kick I got out of seeing this for the first time. For me it truly captures the feel of the song and the casting is perfect - she really is ‘an angel in a polyesther uniform’ (even if she was working at Arby’s!) Also at YouTube at the following link:

But that’s still not all! As I was checking these video links, I accidently stumbled upon one more videoclip on YouTube of the Blenders’ version of my song, McDonald’s Girl, mimed by some skinny kid complete with choreographed hand jive. I’m rofl’ing here, folks (rolling on the floor laughing). Watch it here at:

So, what do you think? Is this a trend? I hereby invite every one of you to pick your favorite Dean Friedman song, set up your video camera and press record. Fancy production is not required. Uploading it to YouTube is easy as pie. Hey maybe we should even have a contest. Give away prizes. Let me know what you think.

Meanwhile, enjoy these delightful videos.

Catch you later.
