Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Some person, their baseball glove, their hopes and dreams, and “Losing Altitude”
Yup, “Losing Altitude” (instrumental) is a real tear-jerker…
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Conserve Water! …and listen to “Losing Altitude”
Neither is a bad idea. “Losing Altitude” instrumental reminds you not to waste water.
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Octopus mutilation to “30 Lives”
Another yuck. This octopus is cooked and chopped to the delightful tune of “30 Lives”
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Cardio for Indie Rockers to “30 Lives”
Also not a random one…in fact, we posted it, but here are some ladies working out to “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” as part of Cardio for Indie Rockers!
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Legit awesome arcade freestyle to “30 Lives”
This one is less random, but it’s so awesome, that we can’t resist posting it. This gent totally freestyles it on a DDR machine to “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” for us!
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: USC Law School Photos…and “30 Lives”
While legally, “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” is awesome, I have no idea why it suited these law students to choose it for their montage of tomfoolery… They do have a countdown of reasons why they are awesome or something.
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Photos of the Yamaha XJR set to “30 Lives”
I don’t get it, but “30 Lives” and a motorcycle…
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Make a coat hanger satellite antenna…while listening to “Satellite”
This one kind of makes sense. “Satellite” and satellite reception.
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Not one, but TWO ways to repair a recoil on a petrol lawnmower using “30 Lives”
The title says it all. Instrumental “30 Lives” and petrol lawnmower repair.
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Gibberish and Optical Effects
Some other language, some weird optical illusions effects, and “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)”
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Runescape video game and “30 Lives”
Don’t get it, but hey… “30 Lives”
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Offensive video comparing Bush to Hitler. It used to be set to Green Day…
Yup, this is offensive and stupid and it used to use Green Day. Now, it uses “30 Lives (Up-Up-Down-Dance Mix)” – ugh…
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: The disgusting video that started it all…horses mating to The Motion Sick
Yup. Not much to say. This video is not safe for eyeballs, but here it is…horses mating to the romantical instrumental version of “Some Lonely Day”
Strange Vids Featuring TMS: Welcome
Okay kids, things got really weird on Youtube. It’s a long story, but our music is available to Youtube video creators for use as background in their videos. We ended up in some strange, strange places. The horse-mating video tipped … Read More
