these are a few of my favorite things
We've all seen many edits similar to this, but this one is special. You can't help but notice the pitch perfect synchronicity. Also, the fact that who ever made this chose to have Bert be the more angry sounding one... let's just say he knew them well. I've watched it about 100 times, and I hope to pass on the joy bloggerifically.

So class, today we learned: hip-hop is all about the booty, and gospel is all about the clapping. Mmmkay?
Artist statement from the creators of Fleshmap:
"How do we talk about the body? To find out how physicality permeates cultural discourse, we compiled a set of songs, poems and religious texts that reference the body. Using images of the body as pictograms, Listen offers a fresh look at vocabulary use, ranging from the popular to the erudite. Based on a compilation of more than 10,000 songs, the piece visualizes the use of words representing body parts in popular culture. Each musical genre exhibits its own characteristic set of words, with more frequently used terms showing up as bigger images.
