I expressed my love of Youtube remixes of..well basically anything. Give someone a piece of footage and they'll put it to some sort of beat and make the person jerk around in funny movements. Hardcore, disco,rap, whatever. Well today I had a find that reinforced my surreal confusion to our hyper-cultural world.
I watch some late night television. Probably more than I'd like to admit. Months ago their appeared this guy named Vince. With a headphone mic headset and a rag that could soak up all the water on your boat if it sprung a leak in the middle of the ocean. Why was he wearing a headset if he is doing a commercial for TV? Those people at the end of the commercial sure loved it. Then it spread. Like wildfire in the back country everyone was talking about Shamwow. You were making jokes with your friends. Shows whose names escape me at this moment were tapping into this phenomenon. Like any short piece of media that goes "viral", the remixers will leave their stamp. You've gotten 15 minutes when you have a remix.
I give you 3 Shamwow remixes. Your welcome.
