Confusingous

When the remake is better than the original

July 2nd, 2009

Forgetting of course that Coldplay’s song ‘Viva La Vida’ is a direct rip-off of Joe Satriani (see this), Confusingous also despises that song.

That is, of course, until Confusingous happened along this remake by the fabulous Abrams Brothers. Because Confusingous cares, and because Confusingous knows that the vomitous Coldplay version is still played every five seconds on American radio, he brings you this version:

Now, whenever the subpar Coldplay version comes on, think about this one.

Boxcar Hex sings The Judds!

July 1st, 2009

The recording appeared to be made between Boxcar, a campfire and a horse carcass so the quality is not so hot. But check it out here.

Boxcar Hex sings!

June 30th, 2009

For some reason Boxcar was singing at least an octave too high. Confusingous thinks someone slipped something into his franks and beans. But it should pass.

Anyway, check it out here.

Nothing is funnier than a bad joke gone awry.

On second thought …

June 26th, 2009

A few weeks back Confusingous suggested that ‘Something More’ by Sugarland was a bad song to listen on the way to work on Monday.

On second thought, ‘I Hate My Job’ by Uncle Leon and The Alibis may be way worse.

Wine is fine but whiskey is quicker. Though breaking a whiskey and wine bottle on your head is quickest.

With the country in dire straits, the president needed the advice from places he had not yet looked. Unfortunately, Dire Straits was unavailable for consultation. So, they called in the next best thing: Styx!

A high maintenance woman wants neither a maintenance man, according to Toby Keith, or a low budget man, according to Hank Williams Jr. Think about it.

Having trouble staying awake?

Confusingous knows. We all work so hard. Running through life. It takes a major strain on body and mind. Sometimes we feel like we just need to close our eyes. But we can’t because life is going on and on and on.

Well, Confusingous has an easy solution. Stop mainlining energy drinks. Stop burning your extremities. Now get your tooth picks out of your eyes and take a look at this gem:

Thank You New York Post.

Now, try sleeping. Ever again.

Your Welcome,

Re-Instate Hank Williams into The Grand Ole Opry

June 23rd, 2009

We all know it is rare for Confusingous to involve himself in a cause.
However, this one could not be overlooked.

Thank you University of Alabama - Birmingham

Click here to sign the petition to reinstate Hank Williams Opry membership!

The Opry fired Hank on August 11, 1952 due to his drinking issues. Hank Williams died on January 1, 1953 and the issue was never able to be resolved. Since then, the Grand Ole Opry has used the music and image of Hank Williams to promote it’s show and products. The Opry owes Hank Williams and his family the courtesy of returning his membership if they choose to use his legacy for financial gain.

Please be sure to sign the petition so that The Grand Ole Opry may be told your opinion: that they should do right by Hank!
