...Pass," had some backlash from fans because, unlike your first few videos, users weren't able to embed the clip on their blogs or on other websites. When did you get tipped off that this was going to be a problem? It was actually the video before - for the song "WTF." We put it online and started getting complaints from our fans. It wasn't on the front page of YouTube, there wasn't a huge splash about it. By the time the second video came out, it was a day or two before our inbox was flooded from fans...
...only every U.S. presidential campaign could be relived in song and dance. As a new musical in Germany about Barack Obama's rise to the top demonstrates, politics takes on a whole new comical meaning when set to music. In one scene, for instance, a Sarah Palin look-alike belts, "I'm a pit bull!" while surrounded by scantily clad go-go dancers.

Streep, who followed the Best Song winner T-Bone Burnett, got a laugh by musing, "I want to change my name to T-Bone. T-Bone Streep." She also offered the pertinent observation that "I've in my long career played so many extraordinary women that basically I'm getting mistaken for one." The winner...
...continued her fight for approval of a national holiday, testifying before Congress several more times and mobilizing governors, mayors and city council members across the nation to make the passage of a King-holiday bill part of their agenda. Singer Stevie Wonder became a prominent proponent and released the song "Happy Birthday" in 1980 - it became a rallying cry. He and Coretta went on to present a second petition to Congress, this one containing 6 million signatures of support. Their work finally paid off when the House passed the bill with a vote...
