Adele Plus Butter Dance Equals Your New Favorite Video
Taking the random tribal music out of a piece of performance art and replacing it with the song from the latest James Bond movie is one way to make an instant joke. This video is a piece of performance art by Melati Suryodarmo called "butterdance," but the song is 'Skyfall' by Adele. It's definitely more dramatic.

‘Gangnam Style’ Has Now Killed a Man
It was really only a matter of time before the force of "nature" that is 'Gangnam Style' took a life. That time has come. A 46-year-old man's heart wasn't quite up to the task of horse shuffle dancing that the song requires, and he had a heart attack at his office's holiday party in Blackburn, Lancashire, England.

‘Gangnan Style’ Sounds Even Better On Ukelele
While 'Gangnam Style' covers are all the rage on YouTube, these two creative young women have taken Psy's hit and put their own unique spin on the song. Instead of the usual flashmob and eye-catching costumes, the two young women picked up a guitar and -- strangely enough -- a ukelele to turn the snappy dance number into a plaintive pop song that sounds like something Taylor Swift would sing. (Well, if Taylor Swift was a K-Pop star, that is.)

10 NBA Player Cameos in Music Videos
Some basketball players like Shaq and John Salley have shown their musical prowesses off the court, or even made a second career out of their vocal skills (or lack thereof). But, at other times, NBA players without any vocal abilities have dipped their toes into the waters of the music world thanks to cameos in music videos.
