Woah, it’s been a while since I’ve made a post. So here we go, this week’s video of the week is Dane Cooke giving High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens some advice. Vanessa, has been caught in some “compromising” pictures recently. The best part of the video is Vanessa’s friend laughing while Vanessa tries her hardest to be a good sport.

Here’s last week’s videos… The now world famous “pool jumps” by UFC lightweight champ BJ Penn & NFL player Keith Eloi. DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!!

Led Zeppelin - Fool in the Rain

prideinthemorning — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:02:03 +0000

In 1979 Led Zeppelin found themselves in an odd spot in the music world. Rock n Roll was no longer the trendy cool thing to do. It was almost, dare I say it… Old. In it’s place was disco, punk and new wave. So instead of showing their age the guys in Led Zeppelin decided to unabashedly embraced the latest pop music trends. Adding synthesizers to the mix and allowing John Bonham to continue with his groovy Bonham shuffle. While they never strayed to far from the Zeppelin sound what they did do, was just enough to bring their ‘79 album In Through The Out Door up to the top of pop charts, and the latin tinged percussion and piano of Fool In The Rain climbed up into the top 20. Enjoy Bonham’s drums only version in the video below, but be careful of the potty mouth right at the beginning… That’s the only cussing, promise.

The Josh Coles Story

prideinthemorning — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:41:59 +0000

So the Josh Coles story has only gotten bigger. Josh suffers from a life threatening condition and was told by doctors that he may only have a few months to live. After returning home is latest visit to the IWK, all he wanted to do was spend the $500 he was given for graduating. Unfortunately somebody broke into his house and stole that money and his $1000 laptop. Well since then, there’s just been a huge outpouring of support for this young man. His neighbour has gone around and raised over $3000 for him and two girls that he went to school with are putting on a pancake breakfast at the Superstore on Saturday.

Turns out he will get to go on thatshopping spree but some of the money will also be used for medical expenses for his family. What a great story on how the community has gathered around this young man.

Steam - Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye!

prideinthemorning — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:09:59 +0000

Cool story behind this song. It started with a band called the Chateaus which included Gary De Carlo, Paul Leka, Dale Frasheur. They released a couple of unsuccessful album before finally De Carlo branched out on his own to record some solo stuff. Mercury records was so impressed with his songwriting that they wanted to release A sides. Which mean De Carlo had to come up with 4 B sides.That’s when they decided to re-record a Chateaus tune called kiss him goodbye. De Carlo decided to add the na na na na part to the hook. Which drove the Mercury record execs wild enthusiasm. They decided to release that song as an A side. Which apparantly disgusted all three guys enough to decide they wanted nothing to do with the record. Well, they still kept the songwriting credits. Eventually the trio conceded and the song was under the band name “Steam.” It would become a number one hit and ofcourse has taken on a life of it’s own at sporting events.
