Oddity #94: A Load of Washed-up Celebrities Singing 'Let It Be' On A Beach

Remember to count how many times you think 'WTF?'

(via various people, but I think http://twitter.com/jackbro/ is mainly to blame)

Parkour On A Bike!

This is Danny MacAskill in "Way Back Home" - a short film showing his street trials riding.

It's incredible and worth watching all the way through.

Timelapse Perseids

Thanks to the weather and a 4 month old baby I didn't see the shower myself, but it looks beautiful.

Sour Child O' Mine

If you can last more than 2 minutes of this your medication is too strong.

I'm not sure it's a real fail, but it gets funnier every time I look at it.

Zombie Lip-sync

It appears Lady Gaga's new single is a Whitney Houston cover.

You need to watch this all the way through for the full effect...

A Very Bendy Man

Impressive stuff, but what happens at 2:50 doesn't seem humanly possible.

Pitch Invasion!

It starts off fairly normal, but just wait until 30 seconds in.

There's another example at 2:36 & 3:02 if you can wait that long.

Superb!

Surely there can only be a Tory landslide with support like this!

Will they swing your vote? (that's not a euphemism, btw)

The Saturday Men (West Bromwich Albion 1962)

This is brilliant and well worth half an hour - even if you're not an Albion fan.

There's a youthful Bobby Robson & Don Howe, plus Derek Kevan, Bobby Hope & Clive "Chippy" Clarke.

It shows how things have changed over the years. Stuart Williams is still Albion's most capped player, but he had to take a job selling machine parts when he retired. Can you imagine Marek Cech doing that?

See http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=4831 for more details and some other football stores.

Pop Me Hard!

WTF?!? It's made even more surreal through him being a John Mortimer lookalike. Very strange all round.

BTW, it is SFW despite the YouTube warnings.

Pulling a tablecloth away with a motorbike

I'm not convinced this is genuine as you normally need to pull down to make the trick work.

Nice idea though...

New Video from OK Go - This Too Shall Pass

Entertaining & inventive as always. It makes Mousetrap look a bit feeble.

Midlake - Head Home

Saw an excellent gig by Midlake at the Shepherd's Bush Empire last night. Hopefully they'll be back in the UK again soon.

The new album's a bit more laid back, almost like early 70s mystic/folk rock if that makes any sense. Anyway, this is my favourite from their second album, "The Trials of Van Occupanther".

Solid Potato Salad With Contortions On The Side

After sitting through the slightly ropey song for the first minute or so, things pick up quite quickly. And then get stranger and stranger.

I'll leave you to make up your own minds about what the exit is all about...

Police car chase with Benny Hill theme music

Spoiler Alert - There are no short bald men or women in bikinis in this clip.

However, the driver does add a particularly impressive touch at 0:56.

Midlake - "Head Home"

Hadn't listened to this for while - I'd forgotten how good "The Trials Of Van Occupanther" is.
