watch: dj earworm's united state of pop 2012- shine brighter

Okay, I lied. There's one other year-end wrap up we all care about, and that's DJ Earworm's United State of Pop video!

People have been sharing the wrong video all week, but this is finally the right one! As always, it's fantastic [but could use less/zero Taylor Swift]...


Tons of people have been jackin' his style and doing this video mash-ups, but they don't even come close to comparing! The coolest part about Earworm's videos is that the lyrics mash-up to make a song that actually makes some sense. Everyone else just matches beats.

Also, the best part about his this year: It's not all OPPA GANGNAM STYLE, like every other mix you've heard in the past couple months.

Thank you, DJ Earworm, for proving you're the best again. TEAM EARWORM!

love,

watch/listen: united state of pop 2009

I heard this for the first time on New Year's Day and immediately texted Toby Knapp to tell him how obsessed I was with it. I had no idea it was A) a real song and B) something that's been done multiple times as a year-end music wrap-up.

The dude's name is DJ Earworm and his occupation: Genius.

Okay, maybe that's not true. He's probably just a really great DJ. Either way, he's my genius of the week, fo sho.

Take a listen to this mash-up/remix/whatever of songs and fall in love just like I did. Be amazed like I was. Listen over and over and over again like I am.



All of my year-end top 10 lists just got trumped. This is hands down the best thing to represent the year. [If you like pop music, of course.]

DJ Earworm, please marry me. But change your name first.... elizabethany earworm is a little odd.

love,
elizabethany
