If “3 Little Pigs” was Written in Older Times

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

I do not know if you have seen this YouTube video before or not, but it is quite amusing. It is a rendition of “Three Little Pigs” done in an older style of English. It is well worth the 8 minutes; I encourage you to watch the video.

Star Wars Song

Greetings, readers!

I have recently discovered an interesting musical artist from your world. He is called Weird Al Yankovic. I discovered his song “The Saga Begins.” It is a Star Wars themed song, and it is set to the tune of a different song that apparently used to be quite popular on your world.

This is the original version:

And this is the Star Wars version:

I hope you have an excellent week.

Bringing “Fetch” To Another Level

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi Fluffsters! I’m not sure if you’ve seen this before or not, but there’s another really cute video up on YouTube with a fluffy dog.

The dog starts off by stealing a baby’s toy. Which is sad. But then the puppy decides to apologize by bringing the sad little thing as many toys as possible. It’s really cute.

I hope that brought some much needed fluff to the beginning of your week! Wasn’t that cute?

Will someone “Try” to explain this music video to me?

Greetings, readers! I wish you a happy Friday.

As I am sure many of you are aware, there is a song going around the internet called “Try.” From what I have heard, it was created by someone who got tired of being photoshopped.

Now, I find this video a bit… confusing. Basically, what I got out of it is “You do not have to try so hard for your real-life appearance, because you can be photoshopped to beauty regardless.”

This especially came through to me during the photoshop / non-photoshop comparisons were being shown during the song, and… the photoshopped side was the singing side, thus implying that “you, too can be accepted into the pool of photoshoppees!”

The history of the song, however, would seem to suggest the opposite.

Oh, relax Fluffy. I thought it was sweet. And during the part at the end, the main singer doesn’t have any photoshopping done to her. So it works out in the end, doesn’t it?

Possibly.

I still think some of the filming decisions were a bit… odd.

And they still used a professional singer for the voice, thus indicating that even if your physical appearance is not photoshop-beauty-standard, you at least need to have a good voice.

Now you’re just nit-picking.

Okay, maybe.

Regardless, I would be interested in reading some of our readers’ thoughts. Had you encountered this song before? What do you think?

I hope your weekend goes well.

A (relatively) New AVByte Musical: Disney Villains

Greetings, readers.

I have recently discovered that I missed a fun YouTube video for an entire month. Apparently YouTube decided to hide it from me… I will be talking to him about it later.

Regardless, here is a new musical movie from AVByte, inspired by the Disney Villains.

Enjoy.

The Center for “Selfie” Improvement- funny advertisement

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers.

The other day, I saw one of the most alarming, disturbing, and hilarious advertisements I have ever seen on YouTube.

I am not actually entirely sure who the advertiser is, since what the advertisement was talking about does not actually exist in reality, fortunately. The advertisement itself was worth watching.

It was an advertisement for “The Center for Selfie Improvement.”

Some of you may have already seen this advertisement. It supposedly is clearly aimed at the younger generation of your world.

It was quite amusing. It succeeds in mocking documentaries and selfie-takers, while at the same time not being offensive.

I especially appreciated the play on words, by having the center for “selfie” improvement, as opposed to “self” improvement.

Also, I rather appreciated how the advertisers successfully inserted some subtle tips for how to make “selfies” a bit more interesting. Lighting, pose, and interesting background were mentioned.

Who knows? Maybe the quality of “selfies” might actually improve because of this advertisement.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries: ANOTHER break in Tea

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi, Fluffsters!

Yes, it’s me putting a break in the tea series. I meant to run one on Jasmine Green Tea yesterday, but since Fluffy McGiggles decided to hijack that one again, that clearly didn’t happen.

And today there’s some nice “Fluff News” about something that happened yesterday, so I’ll just keep the Tea for another time. Maybe tomorrow, but likely not. Two days of interruption in a row really interrupts a series, wouldn’t you agree?

Anywho.

Today’s interruption comes because of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

For those of you unaware, the Lizzie Bennet Diaries is a vlog adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. It’s really well done, too.

The reason why there’s an interruption today: The people who do the Lizzie Bennet Diaries (LBD) just posted a new bonus video yesterday. And it’s sweet. And I’m guessing that many fans have already seen it, but that some of you might not even have known of its existence.

Anywho. Here’s the last Lizzie Bennet Diaries update:

And for those of you who haven’t already seen them, you should start from the beginning. They are worth it, and quite addicting.

Have fun!

Why I Love to watch Ice Skating

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hello, Fluffsters! Happy Tuesday!

For those of you in the United States Armed Forces, I want to send you a belated “thank you.”

For those of you in America, I hope you had a good holiday, if you’re in a place that does, in fact, take a holiday on Memorial day.

Anywho. So, last night, I spent a fair bit of time procrastinating by watching YouTube videos of ice skating.

Seriously, I love it. I enjoy skating, too, but I’m not very good. (Yet.)

And I think I’ve found some of what makes ice skating fun to watch, for me.

1) The music is often beautiful. Certainly, beautiful music as the background for the skating makes the routine much more fun to watch.

2) The people I watch are really talented. It’s easy to find YouTube videos of the best skates in history, after all. And the most spectacular fails. But that’s beside the point.

3) Most importantly, the two previous aspects can combine to bring visuals to the music. Basically, when an ice skating routine is done well, it is almost as though you’re watching a personification of the music.

For example, this one was making the rounds shortly before the Winter Olympics of 2014:

The skater does an excellent job. (The commentators, not so much.)

But his combination of choreography and music selection do, in fact, bring the music to life. I think that at least in theory dance can also do things like that, but it’s so much harder to find good dance that does so. One of the advantages that ice skating has that dancing doesn’t, is that ice skating can be naturally smoother and flowing. Any stops also become that much more dramatic. And that’s also part of the way music works. It normally flows. Even the silences are frequently, well, flowing. And when they’re not, it requires attention.

And it’s hard to keep that type of constant movement on land. But on ice, with reduced friction, you just glide along. It’s a very natural movement.

Those are definitely part of why I enjoy ice skating and watching ice skating.
