Sometimes Dr. Demento plays just teh perfect song! And who hasn't wanted to see the theme song for one show as a vid for another show? This show is all about the novelty songs and the TV theme songs, with an emphasis on humor. VJ: Par Avion
# | Title | Vidder(s) | Song (if different) | Artist | Fandom(s) | Duration | Download URL |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | The Farscape Show | Ann White and KOBA-TV | Theme from The Muppet Show | Sam Pottle, Jim Henderson | Farscape | None | |
The first vid I ever saw, this is funny and clever and a bit meta. A wonderful introduction to vids, and to this show. | |||||||
2 | I Think I'm a Clone Now | Mary Van Deusen | Weird Al Yankovic | Multi | None | ||
What makes this version unique is the vidder’s use of source from multiple fandoms, which keeps the joke fresh. Very enjoyable. | |||||||
3 | The Addams Family | JAC aka Judy Chien | Theme from The Addams Family | Vic Mizzy | Twin Peaks | None | |
Twin Peaks! What a strange...dare I say, creepy and kooky, show. Excellent match between song and fandom. | |||||||
4 | Chewy | Konnekted Twin | Chewbacca | Supernova | Star Wars | None | |
This cracks me up. How did I not know this song existed? I’m so happy it’s a vid, too. Silliness that totally works. | |||||||
5 | George of the Jungle | Zoe Rayne | Theme from George of the Jungle | Sheldon Allman | The Sentinel | None | |
Luckily for me, “George” was a cartoon before it was a movie. Very funny match with Jim’s backstory. | |||||||
6 | Mustang and Hughes: The Friendship Test | David Beach | Friendship Test | Tenacious D | Fullmetal Alchemist | None | |
I’m not convinced that this is a novelty song, but it is very amusing and well edited. And Hughes would totally do this! | |||||||
7 | Orange Five-O | Vlad G. Pohnert | Theme from Hawaii Five-0 | Morton Stevens | Orange Road | None | |
I only have a vague recollection of the original Hawaii Five-O credits, but I was very impressed with these. It’s a rockin’ theme. | |||||||
8 | Ebichu The Wonder Hamster | Doki Doki Productions | Harvey the Wonder Hamster | Weird Al Yankovic | Ebichu Minds the House | None | |
There are many AMVs to this song (it’s a thing) but I particularly enjoyed this one. | |||||||
9 | Buffy Possible | Konnekted Twin | Call Me, Beep Me! (The Kim Possible Song) | Christina Milliam | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | None | |
A fairly common conceit in the AMV world, this is an ambitious live-action attempt at matching the visuals from the original theme song. | |||||||
10 | I'm Too Sexy | Melina | Right Said Fred | Highlander | None | ||
I like this take on the song because there are excellent clip/lyric matches and not one but three sexy, sexy characters. Mrowr! | |||||||
11 | Speed Racer | Zeneyepirate | N. Koshibe & P. Fernandez | Fast and the Furious | None | ||
He’s a demon on wheels! Yes, yes he is. And adventure is ahead, just ask gwyn and Maygra. :) | |||||||
12 | Alley Oop | Mary Van Deusen | The Hollywood Argyles | due South | None | ||
Alley Oop is a comic-strip caveman with a pet dinosaur, and this song was a hit in 1960. Somehow, this is perfect for Fraser. | |||||||
13 | Meet the Echolls | Kimera | Down with the Sickness | Richard Cheese | Veronica Mars | None | |
Richard Cheese covers Disturbed in the style of a lounge singer. Darkly brilliant song choice for the Echolls family. | |||||||
14 | Emergency at St. Joel Center | janzki | Theme from ER | James Newton Howard | Black Jack | None | |
Not comedic, but I was so impressed with this I had to show it. I trust that everyone has seen the ER credits at least once? | |||||||
15 | Angel Bebop | Ryan Graff | Theme from Angel | Darling Violetta | Cowboy Bebop | None | |
It’s common for fans to equate Bebop with Firefly, but Ryan makes a beautiful and compelling case for Angel. | |||||||
16 | Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah | Ferret Face | Alan Sherman | M*A*S*H | None | ||
Last-minute find. A classic novelty song, for a rarely vidded fandom. And it’s great! My job here is done. | |||||||
17 | Particleman | LT Garrix | They Might Be Giants | Farscape | None | ||
I love TMBG, and this is a wacky song for a wacky episode of an often wacky show. Not to mention a great transition... | |||||||
18 | Masochism Anime | Flying Frog Studios | Masochism Tango | Tom Lehrer, cover by Absolutely Nobody | Multi | None | |
... to a vid that mixes cartoons and anime. It’s an a cappella cover of an oft-vidded song, with a different and more literal lyric interpretation. | |||||||
19 | Iron Editor - Mission Impossible | MeriC and VegettoEX | Theme from Mission: Impossible | Adam Clayton & Larry Mullen | Multi | None | |
Stylish winner of an “Iron Chef” AMV competition in 2005. Theme: exploration. Secret ingredient: Star Trek: The Animated Series. | |||||||
20 | Greetings from Lost Island Tourism | Charmax | Multi | Various | Lost | None | |
A very clever entry for an LVI “tourism” contest. It is the last section that sends the vid into Brilliant! territory. | |||||||
21 | Detachable Penis | Alex, Media Cannibals, Sandy, Tina, gwyneth and rache | King Missile | The Professionals | None | ||
Hilariously inspired concept to a song novel enough to have its own wikipedia entry, this vid was recently remastered by Justacat. Shiny! | |||||||
22 | A Morality Tale | Clucking Belles, Sandy and rache | Theme from Green Acres | Eddie Albert & Eva Gabor (Vic Mizzay) | Smallville | None | |
A highlight of the ‘03 Escapade vid show for me, this was a must-have. Great choice for Clark and Lex that finds perfect clips to illustrate their relationship. | |||||||
23 | Orgasm Addict | Barkley | The Buzzcocks | Stargate SG-1 | None | ||
“They are running through a big wet hole carrying guns! I mean, seriously, people.” —katie_m, about her vid present’s phallic and yonic imagery. | |||||||
24 | I Can Change | Nicole Anell | Trey Parker (South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut soundtrack) | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | None | ||
The world really did need another Spike vid! The song is a snarky duet between Satan and Saddam Hussein. I’m grinning like a loon. |
