Music Video: Partyben "This Tightrope's Made for Walkin'" (Janelle Monae / Nancy Sinatra)

This mashup probably wouldn't be getting consideration if I didn't love "Tightrope" so much. I mean, not that this mashup is poorly done, but it's not a complicated, four- or five-song composition like "No-One Takes Your Freedom" or "I Wanna Bulletproof Dancer" or something. But I'm willing to use whatever excuses I have to in order to listen to Janelle Monae.

Incidentally -- we tried going to Best Buy to get the Janelle Monae CD, and . . . okay, I know that our corporate overlords have decreed that we're all to re-buy all our music on MP3s now, and businesses are phasing out the stocking of actual CDs and stuff, so I can understand not having the CD physically in stock, but -- they didn't even know who she was, or have her anywhere in their computer. I'd thought she was, you know, kind of a big deal?

So on the off chance that you don't know who she is either, watch the "Tightrope" video. It's worth it for the dancing alone.

Music Video: Partyben "Single Ladies (in Mayberry)" (Beyonce / Andy Griffith Show theme mashup)

Yes, another mashup. This one is perhaps more clever than good, and as usual the video isn't particularly helpful, but even so, it amuses me, so maybe it will amuse you.

I wasn't originally intending to make the mashups a regular PATSP feature, and I'm still not, not exactly, but I kept finding ones I liked, so I've decided to make January (or what's left of it) mashups month here. There won't be one every single day, but I've got eleven videos scattered through the remainder of the month, semi-randomly. There will still be plant-related content in the mornings: the videos, if they're going to happen, will happen in the afternoon. ("Morning" and "afternoon" meaning 4:30 AM and 4:30 PM Central Standard Time; it will not necessarily be morning or afternoon where you're viewing them.)
