While I love writing about fashion and beauty, life and style must always have a good soundtrack. So, enter a little review of a recent video which deserves a listen.

My good friend, Jane Lui, a quirky and awesomely talented indie singer-songwriter, and a group of similarly quirky musicians got together under the directive from popular viral-video director Joe Sabia to create the most brilliant video ever:

A historical medley exploring the most popular songs in recent memory that contain iconic lyrics that aren’t real words.

You can’t help but smile when you come to realize that all the non-word song snippets really are some of the most iconic songs of their respective eras! Things like shalalalalalala la la la la ti da and naaaa, na na na-na na na, na-na na na and Mmmbop! make you sit up and laugh–and maybe even sometimes cringe, especially in the case of the latter “lyric”!

Musicians Jane Lui (YouTube: LuieLand), bassist Michael T., and pianist Jonathan Batiste took Joe Sabia’s direction and banged out 26 songs in a boisterous and jolly review of 47 years of pop music. And–it only took them 90 minutes to learn and 4 takes to perfect.

Like I said, BRILLIANT.
