Rima con...El Internet

I haven't done a Rhymes With segment in a bit. So enjoy El Internet and El Chiki Chiki on today's special spanish installment of Rima Con... I tried to find translations of both songs for non-spanish speakers(because they are much more enjoyable when you know what they are saying) but could only find the translation for El Chiki Chiki.
Get your Baila on.

El Internet, by Los Alguiens


El Chiki Chiki, by Rodolfo Chikilicuatre


I tried to find translations of both songs for non-spanish speakers(because they are much more enjoyable when you know what they are saying) but could only find the translation for El Chiki Chiki

and now this is happening...

So today has been a little odd. the sun came out, which is a rare thing indeed in the land of magic and whim. So I spent the first part of my day basking in the sunlight. then my housemate and I prepared for an adventure of chocolate gathering and trader joes. However, as we were getting ready we heard gunshots outside and a car speed away. my housemate thought it was someone hammering a roof or something. Anyways, we forgot about t until we went out and half teh street was shut down. We have no idea what happened or if anyone got hurt/dead.

After our adventure, I've been doodling and trying to figure out illustrator. I still can' quite figure the damn thing out, so I gave up for a minute and decided to doodle in photoshop instead. here's what I did:

cat woman, and a few other random ladies. I also drew a quick comic to this tune:

I'm learning how to play that one on the accordion, and it's been stuck in my head. I think I need to draw something a little more majestic and fitting, I'm not sure how the cats have anything to do with russian folk songs...

and now I'm off to karaoke. Because I'm awesome like that and I need my day to be more random.

Down the Rabbit hole...Russia style

okay, so it's time for another rhymes with...
half my face is numb from the filling I just got, and I'd like my face to start working again. in the meantime, enjoy these jems of the internets!

I prefer this to the original Katy Perry song. No, I really do, I'm not joking.


Who knew balloons could be so...melodic?

and then there's this:

Secret of the Incas

What Seven Samurai was to Star Wars, Secret of the Inca is to Indiana Jones. The description on the video says it all:

Harry Steele (Charlton Heston) is the smart, two-fisted relic hunter who has found the secret hiding place of ancient Inca gold, high in the Peruvian Andes at fabled Machu Picchu, and is willing to use anyone or anything to get there; Dr. Stanley Moorehead (Robert Young) is the idealistic archeologist who wants to give the long-lost treasure back to the Peruvian people; Elena Atonescu (Nicole Maury) is the beautiful and seductive refugee they both fall for, and who will stop at nothing to stay out from behind the Iron Curtain; Kori-Tika (Yma Sumac) is the exotic Inca priestess, whose otherworldly singing is the only way to pacify the restless Peruvian natives; Ed Morgan (Thomas Mitchell) is the murderous thief, driven by a lifetime of greed, who is trying to steal the treasure for a last great score. Harry must race them all to find the treasure, using a secret of his own - only Harry knows the ancient ritual which will reveal the hidden gold in the tomb of the last Inca King, in a stunning scene that influenced the Well of Souls from "Raiders Of The Lost Ark".

A lot of attention is given about how this is so influential to Indiana Hones, but the thing that makes me nerd out the most is that this is the only movie Yma Sumac ever made. For those of you unfamiliar, Yma Sumac was a Peruvian Singer with an incredible vocal range of five octaves. That's only the beginning of how awesome she was.

Anyways, enjoy the movie. I've been trying to watch it for ages, and only recently has the whole thing become accessible, as it is now public domain.

Rhymes with...Trololo

Lest we forget the awesome terror of the internet, i present the first installment of Rhymes whit (Blank). This time around, it's our lovely Trololo video, which was so popular a while ago(and I must admit a certain affection for. and by affection, I mean fanatic adoration) paired with Presincolinensinaicusol, commonly known as "What English Sounds Like to Non English Speakers".

Behold, brave travelers, the terror of the interwebz:


There is an original version of trololo, which is actually quite good. there's also a jazzy version of trololo, which is a fun experience. Yes, I went down the trololo rabbit hole.



Curiously enough, baby Ketten Karaoke has Presincolinensinaicusol as one of the songs you can sing. I am currently trying to learn it, but since it is all in nonsense written by an Italian man writing a song in gibberish, the words are a little elusive. The video above is actually composed of two separate live television appearances by Adriano Celetano. There's this one as well as this one.
