the very first time ever came across Postmodern Jukebox was their 2013 mashup

 

What Mr Bradlee does it take popular songs and renders them into a different genre

more often greatly improving the original

found it so entertaining - despite some weaker performers

looking around discovered there was MUCH more going on with Scott Bradlee and his Postmodern Jukebox

(look again for the tambourine guy!)

the first other song came upon sorta hooked

 

had heard of Rude before but only in little bits and was intrigued by the tune

this is the song that introduced Von Smith to

(bonus - after this rendition of Shake It Off went on the hunt for more of Von Smith)

now - if you are already bitching that posting TOO many songs to listen too

 

TOUGH!!!!!!!!

we got two to go

first - proving Scott Bradlee's brilliance - here we have what is at best a lousy song

(Talk Dirty To Me by Jason Derulo)

but as klezmer??????? OK. try to not smile or out and out laugh

LOVE THE YIDDISH RAP!!!!!!!!!!!

and finally - but definitely not least is a song has always loathed

but LOVES this version of Mmmbop

(still can not abide the original)

great comment on youtube -

"Tiny man with glasses, you are the best. Please sit on my shoulder and sing to me when I'm bummed. I will pay you in snacks."

his name is Kenton Chen and he does BOTH bass AND falsetto

if you like 1950's doo wop - this is for you

 

we could go for more but believes this oughta be enough for those who want posts that don't require time to be pissed off)
