Bastardized By The Go Phone Light

I'll admit it - I'm a Meatloaf fan. Both the food AND the singer. I know, I know... And while I could give you my grandmother's KILLER recipe for the former, today's post is sadly focused on the latter, so be ready...

Has anybody seen the new AT&T GoPhone ad? The one with Meatloaf, Tiffany, and some poor-lip-synching putz singing a warped version of "Paradise By The Dashboard Light?" Of course you have...

Wait - you haven't? Ok, well, here's the commercial-ready version (followed by the longer, more in-depth version - with added memory-ruining chunky bits - at the bottom of the post):

0:30 Version:


OK, here just a few of my MANY problems with this commercial:

• It takes a song that brought back good memories and KILLS it for something not even remotely near what the original song was about.


• Both Meatloaf AND Tiffany sold their souls for this one...


• The kid TOTALLY lip-syncs his portion of the song - and does so very poorly, if I might say so myself...

I don't know - for some reason, this commercial just rubs me the WRONG way... Maybe something better will come along today...

And now for my Social Network Plug Of The Week - my new favorite online toy: Muxtape.com!
Basically, it's an online repository, where you can upload up to twelve songs, and compile them into a mixtape to share with your friends. Each song begins streaming when you click on the title, and continues on to the next song when done... So simple, yet SO cool!

While you're there, check out my current Muxtape @ http://lbcapt.muxtape.com. I'll be keeping that up to date as frequently as possible (hopefully much better than my attempts on here!)

Now here it is, kids - the moment you've all been waiting for - the Full 1:30 Version of "Bastardized By The Go Phone Light":


What's even better? The fact that I felt like calling my celly a "Go Phone" all week - but for totally different reasons...

That's about it for now, kids... Have a very DIRTY week!
