Bob James - Angela (Theme from Taxi)



I don't recall Garfield ever being this funny.

I've been sitting on this video for months wondering whether or not to post it given that it's one of the most surreal things I've seen on YouTube. Can anybody out there explain what it is all about?

Leave a comment or hit us up in the C-Box to enlighten a brother.

Herbie Hancock Demonstrates his Fairlight CMI



Seriously, we've posted a few Sesame Street videos on Ugly Talented but this one just takes the piss.

Not only have we got futureshocker Herbie Hancock schooling the kids on a $20,000 sampler but he also plays out with an electro version of the show's theme tune.

Also look out for a young Tatyana Ali from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Aah, but that's not all folks, check out this video of Herbie showing off his toys to Quincy Jones.
