I love this. Watched it about 20 times in a row when I was first linked to it! =pMASTACHIEFPWN said:

Also, largest. MIDI file. ever.
That's made my day a bit actually because it's sent me nostalgia tripping. It's a good example of the sort of thing that sequencers (and auto tune, etc) SHOULD be used for - IE producing musical performances that humans simply aren't physically capable of - rather than just lazy production shortcuts.
I wonder if it was converted from some other piece of music using instruments other than pianos using that kooky make-a-MIDI-from-a-WAV program I once found?
Anyway, said nostalgia trip is back to 92, maybe 93. An Atari ST, a couple copies of ST Format magazine's cover disc, one a couple months old with "Sequencer One" on it (a sort of cheap 'n' cheerful Cubase) and the other with the winning files from a "what can you make with this competition". Load up the one called My Fingers Are On Fire... and it's pretty much this, really. The poor little ST didn't quite know what to make of it, gamely trying to acoustically render as many different-pitched samples as it could manage thru its internal 4-bit soundchip and slowing down massively on the complex segments. Didn't get to hear it properly until some years later when we finally got a MIDI keyboard and hooked the two together.
No human could ever have played it - it was a mega-arpeggioed, ultra polyphonic hemi-demi-semi-quaver-storm from the savant-level mind of some semi anonymous contest winner...
You want awesome? YOU GOT IT.
Enjoy. That last one is AMAZING.
Awesome level: 1
Awesome level: 2
Awesome level: 3
AND I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST!!

Anyway, I'll just dump my (short 
YT faves list and a couple of recent finds. I can't guarantee they'll change your life, but I would hope that you like them and find them at least semi awesome...

Weird Al meets undergrad video production student. Brilliance ensues.

Rolf Harris does a reggae Troggs cover and makes it about a dog. That's all you need to know.

Chiptune lunacy pt1. Guy makes fairly good bit of disco-house music on an old computer. Some other dudes make an already quite random 80s Electric Boogaloo fan video for a house remix of some french girl's rather weedy pop tune. First guy then mashes the two together. Result is reminiscent in quality to the Weird Al one. If only it didn't run out of steam 30 seconds before the end.

Chiptune lunacy pt2. Dubmood makes fairly good basic tune. Sodamnloud turbocharges it almost beyond recognition. Pwnagemerchant drops a bucket of acid and cuts together a load of sped-up Voyager clips (with a slower middle-8 interlude) for an effect that I can only call visual breakbeat. Funny, yet groovy. Setting it on 480p and running it full screen might break your mind. And it deserves to be watched for at least 3 1/2 minutes.

You know that song which plays in the arcade in Tron Legacy? The full version is pretty good. There's also a cover out there by an ex member of Helloween, which has better vocals but (bizarrely, as it was the lead guitarist) less expressive guitar. In any case, the first one had a terrible video, and the latter had none at all.
Self taught interwebs animator Tirrel went and fixed that, though he did have to cut the second verse. Either way, it's pretty epic.
This version of it came on in a rock club I was at recently, and, heinously drunk, I ended up dancing like the Raccoon in the video and making an absolute tit of myself. No regrets.
<youtube=iLC5EKcVFhc>
Said animator then goes and makes an ACTUAL epic, based on some music they heard waiting in line for a ride at a theme park. And it is BRILL. And full of delicious Azteckyness.
Putting the Youtube versions of these in is a bit of a cheat, rather than the much better quality Newgrounds originals, but how else am I gonna embed them?
Oh, and BONUS VIDEOS
<youtube=JLVe1NkQA78>
The video itself is just a load of clips, but I figured you people might like an easy link to the theme because it is awesome. And everything's better with it.
Plus it has a Mysterious Cities of Gold video linked at the end, so it can't possibly be bad.
Hmm, thinking of that.

This will be relevant. One second. I'm making a segue here.
Yeah, here we go.

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ON THE INTERNET AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT IT.
Hence I kept it out of the spoiler.
On the beach with your girl as the sun goes down? I can better the mood.
Or at the birth of your first-born child? I want more joy in the room!
So we're living in a golden age, there's something that can be done to improve -
- the way things are, the way of the world,
Everything's better with muppets, that's for sure!
Enjoy!

Anyone here live in Ohio? If so, you're welcome:
OK, live in Ohio AND are into old-school gaming.
Here's another one if you love TF2 but hate Tom and Jerry
