If Blink 182 Did the “Titanic” Soundtrack…

Oh, this is so wrong that it’s totally right.

One of my favorite creators- “There, I Ruined It”- who uses AI in the most gloriously creative way- just dropped a new banger.

Imagine if “Blink 182” performed Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” from the iconic “Titanic” soundtrack…

This is freaking perfection:

I laughed so damn hard, and had to watch about 17 times.

Jelly Roll “Zevia” Commercial

Jelly Roll is everywhere these days.

Jelly is now the new “spokesmodel” for Zevia- a zero-sugar soda- and it’s pretty damn funny:

Seem familiar?

The ad is a direct take on the 1992 Pepsi ad starring Cindy Crawford:

Jeepers. They don’t make ’em like they did in the 90’s anymore, do they?

I remember LOVING that commercial as a kid, and wanting to BE Cindy.

What 90’s kid didn’t?

Anyhow, Kudos to Jelly Roll for the nostalgia today, and for giving me a good laugh.

 

Postmodern Jukebox “Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love”

If you’re not aware of the awesomeness of Postmodern Jukebox, well…

Educate yourself!

This group is amazing, and is always delivering fun and creative takes on popular songs.

The latest?

A 60’s Girl Group take on Van Halen’s “Ain’t Talkin’ Bout’ Love” featuring Veronica Swift on the lead vocals:


I mean, come on…

I think I like that way better than the original.


Lucky for you, this incredible group is on the road again this year, and you can get their dates here:Ā https://postmodernjukebox.com/postmodern-jukebox/

Rick Astley Covers “Pink Pony Club”

I think the one thing that America can agree on is that Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” is a freaking bop to end all bops.

Are the cool kids still using the word bop?

Oh well.

I digress…


Now we’re at the point where everyone is doing their own spins on the massive hit, and that includes the 80’s legend Rick Astley.

Did we need this?

Yes, yes we did.


Well done, Rick.

He still has that voice.

In case you didn’t exist in the 80’s, here’s Rick in his prime:


The 80’s.

What a time to be alive.

Dolly Parton “If You Hadn’t Been There”

Well, I just ugly cried all over the place.

Earlier this week, Dolly Parton’s husband of almost sixty years- Carl Dean- passed away at the age of 82.

What a love they shared… and she honored him by releasing a song to tribute him called “If You Hadn’t Been There”, and released the following statement:

ā€œI fell in love with Carl Dean when I was 18 years old. We have spent 60 precious and meaningful years together. Like all great love stories, they never end. They live on in memory and song. He will always be the star of my life story, and I dedicate this song to him.ā€

Oh, my heart.

Here’s “If You Hadn’t Been There”:

Absolutely beautiful.

And what a gorgeous tribute to an everlasting love.

I have been lucky to have been married almost eighteen years thus far, and can only hope to achieve that same longevity.

#lovegoals

 

Rest Easy, Carl.

Thank you for sharing your wife with the world.

Morgan Wallen Teases New Music “I’m a Little Crazy”

Morgan Wallen is such a damn tease…

He’s got a new album coming out this year called “I’m The Problem”, and although he hasn’t officially set the release date or track list yet, he’s not been shy about posting teasers of what will be on the album.

Earlier today, he shared a clip of “I’m a Little Crazy”, and I have a feeling most of his audience will relate:

Another solid Country song incoming…

And it goes well with the state of the world these days.

My husband is Active Duty Army, and has been for the past 18 years. He says the “boogeyman” is real.Ā  Sadly, our world is insane, and you have to do what you can do to get through it.

For a lot of us, that’s music.

And from the sound of it, Morgan seems to have some pretty solid stuff in the pipeline for us.

Stay tuned!

Also, he’s hitting the road in 2025 with Miranda Lambert, and you know that’s gonna be amazing.

Chappell Roan and Elton John Perform “Pink Pony Club” at Oscars Watch Party

Now THIS is something to see.

Chappell Roan was the guest performer at Elton John’s annual Oscar Watch Party, and it was everything you would have expected.

Just one big Pink Pony Party!

Here’s another glimpse:

Chappell Roan is one of the best performers in our modern music era, and I’m so happy that she’s getting the attention she deserves.

I can’t wait to see what she does next.

In the meantime, I’ll have “Pink Pony Club” running on loop in my head.

 

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Perform Gorgeous ā€œWickedā€ Medley at The Oscars.

Wow.

That was absolutely incredible.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo opened the 2025 Oscars tonight with a “Wicked” medley, and THIS is talent.

 

Pure and simple.

I LOVE the broadway musical, and the movie definitely is just as magical.

Ariana Grande’s talent is beyond, and I’m glad she has moved on from some of her earlier songs, that honestly, didn’t deserve her.

She’s absolutely magic, as is Cynthia Erivo.

 

No autotune, no big production, no back-up dancers or suggestive lyrics… just pure talent.

More of this, please?
