Does everyone remember this song? How about all of you that haven't heard it yet? Here's the video for it... [www.imeem.com] if this site doesn't work (aka: asks for your login name) heres a live video: [www.youtube.com] If you're into fan-made videos, i found this sick video on youtube that someone made. Trent-like: [www.youtube.com]

WTF was that??? Now, the pseudo Closer ending pissed me off a little bit. It's annoying. Thanks for sharing that video with us, xKillerZombiex, but honestly, I'm not going to see it again... am I THAT bitter?

I just think he's really talented. I listening to his songs makes me smile. It's the sure creativity he puts into each of his songs, and hearing his parodies based on famous songs is great. The music videos are the best though. Watching the videos makes a difference.
