Get down with Einstein

I hate birds. I love monkeys.

But if I had a bird that could sound like a monkey (or sing, or pss-pss-pss whisper, or “Oh my God oh my God oh my God!”), I might change my mind.

This is from the TED2006 (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference where all the smarties were.

More cowbell!!!

Sometimes I think I get Christopher Walken way better than the basement-dwelling, comic book-trading, midnight film-watching crowd does. And of course, I’m right about that. Remember, dude was a musical theatre dancing fag way before he was an edgy, scary film heavy.

Point in fact — Walken’s 2000 Saturday Night Live appearance has spawned this website that lets you add cowbell to any song you upload. And it also lets you add Walken.

If you haven’t seen said clip, well, just watch before you read on.

Below is my first attempt at cowbelling/Walkenizing. Obviously, it’s perfect. (91% cowbell, 71% Walken.)

Listen and weep.
