Leonard Nimoy gets lazy in “official alternate version” of Bruno Mars’ hit song

Posted in Hilarity,Music,Video by Scott Meisner on September 5th, 2011

Have you ever wanted to see what it looks like when Star Trek vet Leonard Nimoy just doesn’t give a damn? The man who played Spock came out of retirement for a second time (the first time involved a voice-over job in the animated Fringe episode “Lysergic Acid Diethylamide”) to star in this high-larious “official alternate version” music video for Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song.” Watch as he starts his morning by acting out in front of a mirror, scaring an innocent child at the grocery store, practicing his Vulcan salute, roaming his neighborhood in a robe, and getting lazy with beers and a joint. It doesn’t get much better than this people.

Or maybe it does. Click after the break to watch the video set against Danger Mouse & Jemini’s hip-hop track “The Sh!t.” (Click here for more…)

Music video: Kid Cudi – “Pursuit of Happiness” (Featuring MGMT & Ratatat) [Alternate Version]

This here is an alternate version of the music video for Kid Cudi’s breakout single “Pursuit of Happiness.”  In my opinion this video is far superior to the original version.  It takes Cudder’s concept of dream sequences he raps about throughout Man on the Moon and runs with it, using tricky camera angles and trippy characters, costumes, and settings.  Oh, and guitarist Ratatat actually makes an appearence in this one during his solo.  Good stuff.
