Dogwelder's "My Humps"

Posted Dec 18, 2005

When Luke Gattuso isn't putting bananas on his head, he's busy making wonderful things that make me smile.

His latest is a cover of Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps," a song that represents a low point not only for popular music, but for humankind.

The only thing that could possibly be better than his MP3 version is syncing it with the original video. Download this now.

I just heard the Peas' version yesterday for the first time on Sirius. Interesting song. (I'll leave it at that.)

A parody/mashup was definitely imminent. I'm almost surprised that it took this long.

By the way, that 10mb vid downloaded at about 900KB/sec--what kind of connection do you have this thing hosted on?

That... was utter brilliance.

If we don't get this to the top of TRL, there's something deeply wrong with American pop culture.

(Well, I mean, aside from the obvious.)

Guys, I don't know what you are talking about but
THAT IS THE BEST SONG EVER!! The pop culture has changed over the years and that is what cool people such as myself listen to. So you need to get over it and move on with your life!! BTW, the video was cool.

Both versions of the song are rubbish. Putting bananas on your head isn't funny.

Thank you so much for informing us what is and isn't funny, James. I often make the mistake of laughing at unfunny things, but fortunately, there's an entire generation of anonymous Internet users out there willing to correct me at every turn.

And that's how I can tell it's time to close comments. My guess is that people are finding this by just searching for the song now, which really isn't the target audience for Dogwelder's version.
