Seems like everybody is talking about Paula Abdul’s next gig these days. How can another season of Idol happen without Paula and Randy’s sparring, but may I remind you of another fun-loving couple that collaborated long before those two? MC Skat Kat ring a bell?

Who can forget this classic from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 movie? Vanilla Ice’s “Ninja Rap” combined every kid’s favorite rapper and superheroes from 1991.

Tupac & Dr. Dre’s video for California Love was set in a Mad Max-inspired wasteland, but did you know there was an alternate version shot as well? It follows the hip hop video guidelines much more closely than the one you’re familiar with.
Here’s the alternate version. I...
I’m the Scatman!...

When the choir at Michael Jackson’s farewell special was belting out “Will You Be There”, it brought me back to a very special moment we all shared at the end of “Free Willy”. Willy was literally freed right before our eyes as The King serenaded us on behalf of the powerful...
Jonas Brothers, Listen Up…I See Yo...
3 brothers? Check.
Throngs of screaming teenybop fans? Check.
Catchy pop tunes? Oddly young marriage proposals? Performances on late night talk shows?

Watch out Jonai - before you know it you’ll each have 3-6 kids and permanent gig at county fairs everywhere.

Who can forget this classic intro from Wayne and Garth in the Wayne’s World movie?
