Cax6tonThis kind of brilliantly stupid shit is what I miss from the early days of the internet
jae@Cax6ton i am laughing so hard there are tears streaming down my cheeks and i cannot see through them.
Gooey Time Kilroy@Cax6ton Might I recommend the Youtube channel TheRealSullyG then? They still make videos of this kind of quality!

@Cax6ton oh gods I was going to say "I haven't seen this in _ages_" but then it was a different and better one than I'd seen before so thank you :D
Cyber Yuki@Cax6ton For the visually / hearing impaired: A recreation of Evanescence "Bring me to life" using otamatones, which are weird Kirby-faced instruments (also shaped like a musical note) that sing according to your finger's position on the dial.

Vlad Schüler-Costa@yuki2501 @Cax6ton (the instrument is called an "otamatone", just for people's information — https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otamatone )

Mr. Pablington@Cax6ton this made my day… I had never seen it before.
@Cax6ton The early days of internet animations were Flash files that were under 1 mb!
@Cax6ton oh my god. Just like... this is what I needed to see tonight.
Autumn Lavigne (She/Her)@Cax6ton Can't say it's not a banger though...the otomatone looks like such a simple instrument but the rhythm was there,the timing...simply incredible
Ludibriumventis@AlwaysAutumn @Cax6ton It takes the same finesse as a theramin!

apophis@Cax6ton the moment the "wake me up!" came in i immediately had to send this to 3 different people
@Cax6ton just
that
*contrast*
between the absolutely pitch-perfect impeccable otomatone play
and then just wah wah wah
nothing captures the bathos of that original insertion in such a balance of satire and tribute

Jon A. Cruz@Cax6ton just as I saw this my wife caught up with my links and saw it. Her only response... A slow turn and long glare in my direction
Legion495@Cax6ton Because some would certainly like to know.
That is a Otamatone

John Jolley"The early days of the internet" did not involve streaming audio or video like this! Perhaps you mean to say "my early experiences with the internet"?
Greyscale@Cax6ton It was always there, it was just snowstormed in by corporate interests and engagement/enragement algorithms
Piers Cawley@Cax6ton There are different sized Otomatones!? Oh lordy
tbs@Cax6ton

@Cax6ton Awesome 
Eleanor LNR Blair@Cax6ton I laughed out loud when the chorus came in. Thank you.
Simon@Cax6ton Love it!
cyplo@Cax6ton WAKE ME UP
Polychrome 
@Cax6ton we can bring it back.
Niclas HedhmanYeah, that video is new. "early days of the internet" were void of video, even images were "painfully" slow, and one could disable "show images" in the web browser to speed everything up ;-)
By the way, the video is brilliant! And hopefully Black Eyed Peas won't go after it for copyright infringement (Metallica would).
LeRoc@Cax6ton I like it, but I find it a bit telling that people call this "the early days of the internet".
Resuna@Cax6ton We didn't have video in the early days of the Internet. We barely had images. And they looked like this.
mhd@Cax6ton "Early days"? I wonder whether one could make a timeline of personal internet participation depending on how music cover videos were made.
- Before Times: no video, tabs for filk being shared on Usenet
- Buffercene: RealPlayer video showing a bad rip of some MTV Unplugged session
- Protogooglezoic: Anime video set to song
- Treisexintacene: rubber chickens
- Pre-collapse: otamatone or ukuleles
- Now: TikTokkers dancing to sample of song, not knowing that it isn't original
- Near Future: legally distinct AI recreation, only available on Disney-owned streaming platform.
Frederik Braun �@Cax6ton this is peak internet 👏😂. Do you know what this instrument is called?
The Animal and the Machine
Mx. Aria Stewart@Cax6ton there are a ton of these on YouTube. The otamatone cover of take on me and of Africa are so great
bazzargh@Cax6ton @acf that otamatone led me to the channel of Maywa Denki (its creators). They didn't stop there, all kinds of mad robotics over here https://www.youtube.com/@MAYWADENKI
Local@Cax6ton This makes life better. Definitely! 😁
