Mar 182013

Some songs seem simply made for an a cappella cover. Others are much more difficult to reproduce with only one’s voice.

Sail by Awolnation is one of those songs that is more than difficult for your average YouTuber to cover. But it’s not a problem at all for UC Santa Cruz‘s a cappella group Acquire Music.

Their month old vocals-only cover of Awolnation‘s one hit wonder has just gone viral now, and is covered on YouTubeTrends, RightThisMinute, VideoSift, and Reddit.

Shaq Finally Gets His Revenge On Aaron Carter For ‘How I Beat Shaq’ Song

Mar 062013

A little over a decade ago, now non-existent on the pop radar Aaron Carter released his one and only hit single That’s How I Beat Shaq. It’s a fun nostalgic song for those who remember it, but that’s about it.

So why is AC back on the scene? Because Shaq wants some sweet revenge for being embarrassed so long ago. Thankfully, Tru TV was more than happy to set up a rematch between the two stars.

As the Klingons say, “bortaS bIr jablu’DI’ reH QaQqu’ nay,” or, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.”

And Shaq is hungry.
