Jeremy Clarkson Beat-Box
This is Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson as you’ve never seen him before.
Hours and hours of dedication have turned the (in)famous into a musical instrument. A human Beat-Box.
Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues performed by 5-yr-old
Friends of Big Happy Video will know that we’ve more than just a soft spot for Johnny Cash. The Man In Black is our inspiration in all things. That’s all.
So thanks to the Viral Video Chart for alerting us to this little gem of a 5 year old singing and a’strumming to Johnny’s early hit Folsom Prison Blues. Highlight is at 47 secs when the kid cracks out the killer line to end them all:
“I shot a man in Reno just watch him die”

Iranian Police Attack Neda Soltan Mourners
Iranian police officers wielding batons have attacked mourners at a ceremony to commemorate forty days since the death or protester Neda Soltan. The Times report that the security forces beat and detained many of the 2000-odd people attending the previously peaceful event.
The footage above is apparently of today’s demonstration and although a little shaky (wouldn’t you be?) is one of the few videos we’ve had out of Iran in a while, thanks to the security clampdown in Tehran and elsewhere in Iran following the recent disputed election.

Tree Removal Fail
There are hundreds of videos out there showing how not to fell a tree.
What we like about this one though is that it appears to be filmed by a neighbour bearing a remarkable resemblance to a fusion of Beavis and Butthead.
“Uh-oh, uh, uh ooow, uuuh, he.”
We miss you guys.

The Muppets vs Electric Six
Inspirational. Let’s see The Muppets teamed up with Electric Six’s Gay Bar in a furry camp mashup.
It shouldn’t work. But OH YES it does.

Dozing dog runs in his sleep
And now for a sweet one.
Here’s a cute dog having a nice little bit of shut eye, when all of a sudden he decides to have a run – whilst still fast asleep.

Forever Wedding Entrance
This is the wedding season and there’s a reasonable chance that you’ll be heading down the aisle or watching someone else tie the knot this summer.
But would you have the guts to do it with this kind of style – ummm, hold on is that the right term? – ok, chutzpah of these mid-western folk?
This one was recommended by our friend Chelle over the weekend and has since spread faster than a nasty dose of swine flu.
On reflection though, isn’t the point of the day to reflect your love for each other? One senses that going viral on YouTube and the like was pretty much central to this full-figured piece of cod choreography.

Unicycle Escalator Jump Fail
Ooh, La La.
Here’s one from France. In fairness this guy looks pretty cool on his unicycle, but sometime’s you can have just a little too much confidence, can’t you.
What’s the bet he reported the damage?
