Mark Frauenfelder has put together a singular post of his video picks from the past couple of years of Boing Boing. Highlights include the famous Bank of America’s employees’ cover of U2’s One (which came with a cease-and-desist letter from Universal, it’s since been removed from YouTube but you can still watch it here with commentary) and the much cooler cover by Johnny Marr and that guy from Arrested Development (which hasn’t been pulled from YouTube at the time of writing):
There’s also a link to 10 Zen Monkey’s post on subversive Christmas cartoon re-dubbed. This is just freaky:
Another cartoon mash-up, Pulp Xmas:
For fans of cheesy pop, Danielle Dax covers the Beatles’ Tomorrow Never Knows (if you’re not there’s some video of the Cowsills doing Folsom Prison Blues):
This piece of snow covered Moscow in 1908:
And the Scandinavian way (apparently!) of opening beer (they teach it to 12 year olds): link (YouTube embed was disabled, meanies!).
Finally, they did link to the wonderful zefrank whose site is a christmas present in itself (try out the singing elf card) and his silly Chrismas video.

So even though there’s plenty of legal things you can do with a scanned image of a banknote, it assumes that you’re going to use it for counterfeiting and just bans you from opening it (or printing anything with it in it depending on your version). Blah! […]
