Because all
MTV airs lately is acid-dropping
babies mamas and bros that are prone to beating up the beat, I've
taken the responsibility upon myself to present you, the reader, with
worthwhile music videos to watch. This installment features the "4 Chords" by the Australian comedic trio the Axis of Awesome. See
what they do here is play the same four chords for about six minutes, the whole time singing different songs that use those exact chords to illustrate how so many of the most popular songs are musically interchangeable.

This is one of those instances where the song is
better than the music video itself, but if you give it a shot you will not be
disappointed. Some highlights
of this video are when the fat guy signs the Lion King song with a pink boa on,
when the skinny dude dresses like GaGa for Paparazzi and
their reenactment of "Love The Way You Lie" to name a
few.
