<strong><br />
1. Kid singing &#8220;Bad Romance&#8221; by Lady Gaga</strong></p>
<p>Everyone loves overweight white kids named Timmy wearing Mickey Mouse pajamas in his kitchen sharply snapping along the beat to an a capella version of &#8220;Bad Romance&#8221;. Oh and did I mention he&#8217;s singing into a ripened banana? </p>
<p>The best part? Around 3:10 when Timmy starts stomping in rhythm with the song as he chants &#8220;Walk, walk fashion baby/Work it/Move that bitch crazy.&#8221; You go girl-er-boyfriend!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>If you follow me on <a href="http://facebook.com/TheModernAgeOrg">Facebook</a> / <a href="http://twitter.com/themodernageorg">Twitter</a>, you probably noticed how I totally freaked out last night when absentmindedly watching <em>SNL</em> with host Jude Law.</p>
<p>(This was after my earlier freak out in the evening when I saw actor (and <a href="http://www.michaelkennethwilliams.com/">celebrity blogger</a>)  <strong>Michael Kenneth Williams</strong> &#8212; aka &#8220;<a href="http://www.hbo.com/the-wire/cast-and-crew/index.html#/the-wire/cast-and-crew/omar-little/index.html">Omar Little</a>&#8221; from <em>The Wire</em> &#8212; playing a would-be terrorist on <a href="http://www.nbc.com/Law_and_Order/index.shtml"><em>Law &#038; Order</em></a>.)</p>
<p>The reason was <strong>Julian Casablancas</strong> induced &#8212; as soon as I heard the begining beats of &#8220;<a href="http://www.themodernage.org/2009/02/10/julian-casablancas-gets-his-boombox-on-with-lonely-island/">Boombox</a>,&#8221; the song which Julian guested on for the Lonely Island album, <em>Incredibad</em>,  I knew what was coming &#8212; hilarity and awesomeness.</p>
<p>Not only were all the scenes described in the song acted out, but Julian is sporting this hideously weird side rat tail hair with the multicolors &#8212; but <a href="http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/full-article/beauty-board-pastel-hair/">staying on trend</a> and totally making it work. I&#8217;m convinced, <strong>Julian Casablancas owns neo-80s style</strong>. But probably my favorite moment is at the end when Julian smashes a flower pot and declares that &#8220;a boombox is not a toy.&#8221; [<strong>UPDATE:</strong> Reader Melissa pointed out that there is actually a <a href="http://thelonelyisland.kungfustore.com/products/1523-girls-a-boombox-is-not-a-toy-t-shirt-tli27">"Boombox" shirt being sold on the Lonely Island site</a>. Rock it!]</p>
<p>So true.</p>
<p>Check out the video and you will not be disappointed:</p>
<p><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8yvEYKRF5IA&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8yvEYKRF5IA&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<p>Oh, and in other news, <a href="http://stereogum.com/297192/strokes-confirm-lollapalooza-2010-lp-coming-september/news/">The Strokes will headline Lollapalooza</a>.</p>
