Bill Clinton 'sings' big summer hit 'Blurred Lines'

12 hours ago

When you blur the lines between fantasy and reality as well as the folks at baracksdubs, it's clear where former President Bill Clinton comes down in the song-of-the-summer battle.

By mixing Clinton's words over Robin Thicke's hit "Blurred Lines," baracksdubs has hit viral video gold once again. The YouTube channel describes the new creation as "the womanizer of womanizers" singing "the other song of the summer."

Parts of Clinton speeches are used to create such lyrical snippets as: "But you're a good girl / The way you grab me / Must wanna get nasty / Go ahead, get at me."

But the highlight might be when President Obama is briefly added to the mix at the :25 mark, singing part of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" from a campaign event in New York in January 2012.

With 104 million views on YouTube, "Blurred Lines" has been a popular choice for video mash-ups all summer. The song was played over the top of re-imagined intros for "The Cosby Show" and "Full House." And Jimmy Kimmel got in on the act, among others.

Baracksdubs previously dubbed Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" the song of the summer, and mixed the president over yet another Pharrell Williams hit, below.

Music streaming service Rhapsody has announced a major update to its iOS app, giving subscribers much more content, and much more reason to stay inside the app for longer stretches of time. The update brings Rhapsody?s editorial content to users, giving them a chance to read about their favorite artists on the go, without leaving the app or loading an external website.

The Rhapsody update brings artist interviews, album reviews, videos, new artist recommendations and more to the service, which is available as a 14-day free trial for new users. Using more than 10 years of curated content, subscribers have access to playlists built around a genre or around a particular artist.

Rhapsody General Manager Brendan Benzing says the move comes in response to the growing number of users that use their mobile phones as their main point of interaction with the serveice. ?Curation and editorial content has been the cornerstone of Rhapsody since its inception, and we?ve brought it forward in an intuitive and engaging way for our iOS devices.?

Social features are also available in this version of the application, as users can share their favorite tracks and albums with friends. Music can be downloaded for offline play, saving on cellular data usage, and tracks can be marked as favorites for later repeated streaming.

?We?re more than a ?search/find/play? service. Let?s face it?that search bar can be intimidating when you can listen to virtually any song in the world. So, we guide listeners through that massive catalog by introducing them to new music and old favorites via curated editorial programming,? added Benzing, via a company release. ?It?s like the difference between shopping at Nordstrom versus Costco.?

Rhapsody isn?t the only music streaming service that has improved its mobile offering. For instance, Sony Music Unlimited recently launched offline listening and higher quality streams. Both updates confirm the importance of offering more features to mobile users to keep their attention in an increasingly crowded mobile landscape ? a genre that now has to compete with Apple?s own iTunes Radio, which was announced back in June.
