The Seas Of Cheese*

Former Democratic presidential candidate and current Libertarian candidate Mike Gravel does his best Shatner impression.



* The Seas of Cheese posts are devoted to all that's cheesy in our pop culture. The title is borrowed from a 1991 Primus album Sailing the Seas of Cheese—a brilliant album, by the way. I have no idea what actually inspired the album's title, but I've always figured that it was a reference to the inescapable cheesiness of the lion's share of American pop culture. For the purposes of this blog The Seas of Cheese is a largely affectionate title—though some of the videos will just be irredeemable crap (see above), many will be ones that I love despite their cheesiness (see here).

It's Sunday, and you know what that means—a double dose of The Seas of Cheese. Ever wonder what melismaniac Christina Aguilera was saying in "Ain't No Other Man"? (Yeah, me neither.) Well, wonder no more. Some YouTuber figured it out for us.

Ewwww...

Either Obama's campaign needn't spend a dime on negative advertising...or they already have.

Watch at your peril. Really.

Here's the Shatman covering british band Pulp's "Common People."

Here's the original in case you're interested.

P.S. Any post titled The Seas of Cheese should very well have been inaugurated with something—anything—by William Shatner. My apologies for the oversight.

The Seas Of Cheese

It's time to introduce yet another new feature to the blog: The Seas of Cheese. Posts will be devoted to all that's cheesy in our pop culture. The title is borrowed from a 1991 Primus album Sailing the Seas of Cheese—a brilliant album, by the way. I have no idea what actually inspired the album's title, but I've always figured that it was a reference to the inescapable cheesiness of the lion's share of American pop culture.

And what better way to inaugurate the new feature than with a video from an 80s hair/lite-metal band? So without further ado, I give you Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me." Go on hit play. You know you want to. (Click here for the British version of the video.) 

* Apparently, this song is a down low hit with African Americans. To find out why, and see other rock songs that black people secretly love (written by a black person, of course) go to this link. It's a response to this post at Stuff White People Like.

Hello?

I don't know how the hell Sullivan finds this stuff, but it's just wrong. Which is why I must share it with you.
