  • This is SO good. Even though I find it a bit creepy (especially at the part where the girl stands up and sings)

  • This is totally awesome—and yet there's something about it that I find deeply disturbing. I can't exactly put my finger on what it is, but it's sort of like hearing your own voice recorded and played back to you for the first time.

  • I love hearing old comedy bits where people use doublespeak to approximate foreign languages, so this is pretty cool to see somebody else do it with English. And so much better. Granted, usually doublespeak is improvised, but still, this is pretty awesome.
