Even if 2020 was nowhere near bad for myself, this captures the mood of 2020 perfectly.
Agreed. Had only seen Avalon's, but looks like the year inspired many to write lyrics around two words:
Scooter - F** 2020
Steel Panther - F*** 2020
Whitney Avalon - W** 2020?!
and then some.

Hehe, funny how scooter more than a quarter century later still sounds the same as in 1994 Hyper! Hyper!!11 :D

Like the one from Avenue Beat the best though, its casual tone and melancholy seems more fitting. Still appreciate the other too. :)

MFG

Not sure where to put this, since it''s music but I think it's more watching then listening. Come across this in my youtube adventure and think it's interesting enough to share:

When martial artists dance to a pop song.

You may not like the song (although it's one of my favorite) but the performance is ... kinda cool. :lol:

Martial arts and dancing have many things in common I remember watching a program years ago about how many of the breakdance moves are identical to many martial art movements that it's was pretty easy to teach breakdancers how to use martial arts. Also you have Capoeira which is a Brazilian form of martial arts that originates from Black African slaves that would practice it under the guise of it being dance moves when it was illegal for the to practice martial arts.

Time to go a little native and do some relaxing.

This guy is on another level, I could learn guitar and practice for a thousand years and I would still never come anywhere close to his level, mainly because I have short stubby fingers.

Might have half a billion views (deservedly) and be a pop song, but this one is excellent:-

Pop music can be excellent. That being said I also sometimes find enjoyment from rather mindless pop songs (compared to the more thoughtful one you posted). Stonebwoy - Putuu Freestyle for example is apperently not even in any real language (according to some comments below the video it was written as a joke by the guy who made it), still I must say I wouldn't mind if it was playing at the club. It is just a good vibe.

It's really funny how both of those videos above are official videos, on the official channels for the artists who wrote and performed the songs, but yet both of them have been copyright claimed by third parties on behalf of the artists that wrote and performed the songs and of course, the record companies.

Many, many years ago I knew this guy that could play the piano, but more than that he could play any song after listening to it for a single time. It was amazing, ask him to play something and if he had heard it sometime in his past, he could play it, and if not just listening to it that one time was enough. Of course he had to hear it, because he couldn't read music. I should also mention this part, the reason why he couldn't read music was he was blind, walked around with a white stick. Sadly he is no longer with us after his passing from an accident, many years ago. There are a few people who can do it, TheDooo on YouTube can do it, but he mainly wings it, plays his own improvised version of the song he has just listened to. So where is this leading, I had never heard anyone do it with the drums before, till tonight.

Larnell Lewis - Enter Sandman after hearing it for the first time. Just to let you know, he doesn't play rock music he is a jazz drummer, which some would say isn't music either
