How to be happy: Watch Duck Sauce’s “Barbra Streisand”
Posted on 28. Sep, 2010 by theashcan in Interrobang, Music
Anupa: !
Jef: I am so jealous of how happy this video is
Anupa: I LOVE HOW HAPPY IT IS
Also, Atrak is a cutie
Jef: i was thinking the same about ?uestlove
no bear-o
Anupa: LOLOLOL
yo guy
did you see that vid with John Legend
of them doing the Arcade Fire cover?
i love watching him drum in that
Jef: one thing I love: I love mussels
Anupa: I LOVE JEWS!
Jef: Do Jews eat a lot of mussels?
Is this the first video with mussels in it? Ever?
Anupa: no!
NO SHELLFISH!!
OMG
Jef: shrugs.
Anupa: we have discovered something
namely that A-Trak is not kosher
this increases my chances of becoming his shiksa wife
Jef: Wait though, does he actually eat the shit?
I think he just sniffs it.
That could mean anything!
Anupa: listen, i think Chromeo need to get more credit as one of Canada’s top bands
like, they put in work
and their shtick could be soooo wrong
like overly cheesy and 80s and shit, but it ends up SO right instead
that is TALENT, boy!
Jef: That is the problem though
People hear “Chromeo” and they think it’s just an 80s band.
Like, not a retro-80s band.
But an 80s band.
At least, this is what I imagine.
I am going to replay this right now!
Anupa: REPLAY IT
i mean it’s not a Chromeo song
and i think when ppl who don’t like Chromeo think of Chromeo, they envision 80s-throwback
dude, i saw them twice in the span of a week
and both times they fucking KILLED
once here and once at Lollapalooza
Jef: One time I ate mussels twice, once for lunch and then for dinner.
Both times DELICIOUS.
Anupa: that’s just excessive
Jef: Which cameo appearance gives your favourite “Barbara Streisand”?
For my money it’s Primo.
It’s unexpected, and he seems to really enjoy saying it.
Anupa: i am going to watch it again
[3 minutes and 10 seconds pass...]
Anupa: I’d have to say it’s a tie between Pusha (because you know how I feel about the Clipse)
Or the weird italian looking guy with the ‘fro and his belly hanging out on the hood of the car
My fav cameo is by Yelawolf though because I think he’s sessy
Jef: I think the only problem I have with this video is that I am not in it.
Anupa: Can i go out on a limb here and say that Chromeo and A-Trak make me feel patriotic?
Jef: Go on that limb. Own it.
Anupa: That is a bold statement because nothing makes me feel patriotic except for, like, poutine and ketchup chips
My only problem with this video is also that you’re not in it.
Barbra Streisand is the happiest video in the history of videos.

They should play this on loop at prisons. No human being could possibly not be turned into a goofy loveable bboy after listening to this 8 hours a day.

Except for Kanye. Didn’t seem like he got the happy memo. (Of course.)

Is there a name for emo rap? Like, how emo became a genre, is there a hip-hop equivalent?
SCHOOL ME COOL KIDS. I WANT TO LEARN.

One more thing that makes me feel patriotic is Canada Dry ginger ale.

@Simon: Naw, it’s just “emo rap”.
