Country indie folk comedy Kanye mashup
Friday, December 7th, 2007 - 12:02PM
It’s been around for a few months, I know, but I’m nominating this clip Veronica sent me as YouTube video of the year: Will “Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy” Oldham and Zack Galifianakis doing Kanye West’s Can’t Tell Me in the country with farm animals, tractors, and a sprinkling of The Sound of Music. (Written on Oldham’s forehead at the end: I ? success.)
For what it’s worth, I believe this isn’t a mashup–this is a video that Kanye actually okayed.
http://desedo.com/blog/2007/07/30/zach-galifianakis-kanye-and-will-oldham/ has some kind of (uncorroborated) info on it, though not much.
At any rate, it’s pretty great.

Mashups don’t have to be unauthorized!

Yeah, but a mashup is generally two preexisting things mixed together. This is just an alternate version–the video was made to go with the song.

I’d nominate this for YouTube video of the year:
Gabe & Max’s Internet Thing
