What's This?
August 4, 2010 Earlier today John had the song "What's This?" from Nightmare Before Christmas stuck in his head.
After looking at these Wrecks, now *I* do.
There's color everywhere
There's white things in the air
What's this?
It's orange and so hairy - what's the deal with those two berries? I don't care!
What's this?
[bumpahbumpahbumpabumpabumpabBUM]
What's this? What's this?
I can't believe my eyes,
What's this?
A donkey tank surprise?
What's this? A swirly mass so curly, could the purple be too girly? Should this song be ending early? No we're going 'til we hurl-y!!
Could it be, oh could it be? Did I get my wish?
Here's something that makes sense: a meteorite bird fiiiish!
What's this?
[dumpadumpadumpadumpbaBUM]
[wheeyouwheeyouwheeyouwhee...]
What's this? What's this? There's something very wrong!
What's this? That blue thing's really long.
What's this?
It's positively crappy, and yet I feel so happy, have I possibly gone sappy? I think I need a nappy 'cuz this song is kind of rappy so I guess I'll get a frappey and go shopping at the Gappy...
WHAT.
IS.
THIS?!?
S.K., Patrick T., Chris E., Reagan B., Rebekah W., Austin L., Alex S., Kaylyn M., & Mikaela, your guess is as good as mine.
Oh, and for your continued "enjoyment" I have a special treat today: while we were writing this post, John & #1 (aka "the other Jen") kept singing it to get the cadence right. This...got really entertaining.
So, I decided to tape them.
"Enjoy!"
(If you're wondering what my contribution is here, I'm the one doing the scrolling. And giggling.)

my daughter really thought these cakes were beautiful and she loves them and asked for most of them for her birthday.
of course she is only three
best video EVAR
OMG, funniest thing ever! This was just what I needed on a boring humpday!
The first one, while a bit odd, is actually sort of okay. Cheery and colorful, if a little barf-inducing (it's like a rainbow frosting Matterhorn! although probably meant to represent the cover of "Oh, the Places You'll Go!").
The rest...eeeee. Especially the blue blobby sprinkle eye thing (poor Sean). I'd scream "WHAT IS THIS??" when faced with those, too.
Oh hey! I loved hearing the voices in your head. Now, go back and narrate the crab vs octopus one earlier this week. I bet your "voices" are even funnier than mine!
WV: WORGINDS Some people like to listen to worginds with silent movies, but I prefer listening to John + #1.
I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! That was the best video EVER!
EPIC!
that is hilarious. especially when Jen stops abruptly and starts talking about her cargo pants :) so great.
I don't think I've ever commented here even though I've been reading for years, and years, and years. But here I am sitting at work (I pay for my own Internet connection here) and I am just cracking up like mad. I was especially liking the post, then the video was better, but then the phone call in the middle, and then THE DOG DIED? Man, it's like living in some alternate, or parallel, universe? I am the consummate dog lover, yet I'm laughing so hard, my office mates thought I'd finally gone over the edge. Today's post was THE BEST EVER!!
I love how the video starts out with a song from Wicked... :D
Loved the pictures and the video until I found out that I have no sense of humor when it comes to dogs dying. I gasped in horror. I'll work on it. Does anyone else want to hear "original" Jen sing?
The first one is http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=unicorn%20poop%20deathspank&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1313&bih=781" rel="nofollow">Unicorn Poop, an item from Deathspank.
The video is hysterical. I love the call in the middle of that whole thing...and someone's poor dog died.
After that...I'm not sure I'd let her invoice you for the pants.
Still cracking up!
Ok, that was one of the best posts ever! I was laughing so hard at the phone call right in the middle of the video and how you guys just jumped right back into it.
Thanks:

The first one looks like a rainbow poop! "taste the rainbow!"
Now I have to wash the coffee spew off my screen.
"Oh my god really" "Thats crazy"......"Her dog died". LMAO that made me almost spit out my iced tea!
I sure hope the dog bit was not real because even though I though the pictures were unbelievable and the song priceless, the thought of anyones doggy dieing just makes me so sad.
That video was just icing on the Cake Wrecks--pure awesomeness!
Moar, plz. :)
I absolutely love the video! Might be my favorite post yet!
That was....the most awesome video ever. "Oh, her dog died....WHAT IS THIS?" A.D.D, much? :D
The first one! Double rainbow across the cake! What does it mean? WHAT DOES IT MEAAAAAAAAAAN?
I scrolled through all the comments and apparently I am the only one who cannot see the video. Sad face. Why does Firefox not like me today?? I hate being left out.

Okay, I was totally singing it in my head and scrolling in time...so when I got to the video of that actually happening--Awesomeness! (Sorry to whoever's dog died, btw). Great job, singing, y'all!
OH...MY...GAWD!!! Awesome post today (not that this is unusual, but...)
The next to the last cake (upside down, of course -- notice the "SEAN") has got to be the one that poo'ed the rainbow cake (#1). Then it got this forelorn expression and needed a religious experience (thus the votive candle!)
And THANK YOU for the ear worm from one of my all-time favorite movies!! You guys totally RAWK!!
Cake Wrecks: The Musical! "Once More, With Sprinkles."
Hahaha the video was awesome! More videos please!
That song was AWESOME!!! Give us more, please give us more!
wv: protones- that song has some serious "pro" tones in it!
The "unicorn poo" just needs sprinkles to make it complete and the last one just needs either TP or a pooper-scooper...I think I found something similar in the cat box last week....Hmmmmm....
Poor Sean, not only does his cake look like snot with eyes, they jammed a candle holder in the middle of it.
I appreciate the singing of 'popular' beforehand, as well :)
that video has made my hangover that much more bearable!
so. much. happiness!
so I was going to comment on how *now* the song is in my head and how impressed I was that the cadence was so perfect.
aaaaand then I watched the video. which was absolutely delicious on SO many levels. I am clearly going to hell, but my favorite part was: "her dog died. WHAT'S THIS?"
The video was hilarious!
Never thought you had such talented folks in your husband and #1, did you? :)
The first cake is obviously magical Unicorn feces. DUH!
the red one is a fire hydrant sideways... i think lol
check out my blog: nikkiscakery.blogspot.com
Awesome! I think I need this song on my goofing-off playlist, along with Jonathan Coulton and songs from MST3K. Any chance of a downloadable version? :)
LOVE how we got to hear the phone conversation in the middle of the video.
That first one looks like a big pile of care bear poo.
Freakin awesome! What the heck are people thinking???
That was awesome!
Fantastic! More of this please!
This is why I freakin' love this blog! You guys are hilarious!!
John - thank you THANK YOU! for singing Popular from Wicked at the beginning. It made me laugh. it made my day. thank you for combining Wicked and NIghtmare.... it;s like one giant happy video :D well done
The first cake would have looked perfectly fine saying, "Happy Birthday, Rainbow Brite," if Starlite hadn't left the pile on it. I actually the sheet cake underneath the crap.
Holy.
Freaking.
CRAP.
That was AMAZING! Fantastic post (that had me singing the song in MY head), and then I came upon the recording. I'm still trying to wipe the tears and the huge grin off my face, but it's not working yet. LOVE IT!!! (And the phone call in the middle - accidentally perfect!) Maybe there needs to be a Cakewrecks Singing Blog..... :-)
Whoever was calling will be famous forever.
I watched the video at work. BIG MISTAKE! I was controlling my giggles until "Huh...her dog died", I couldn't stop LOL! Now everyone at my office knows I'm not working! One the of best posts ever!
(for the music addition)
[Clap clap clap clap] Brav-O! Encore! Encore! [clap clap clap clap] (insert loud whistle here) BRAV-O!
the captions keep getting better and better!
"I'm with Jen and John and we're doing this thing... but it's dumb. It's okay..."
Bwahahahahaaa!!!
Lmao @ "donkey tank surprise"
This is definitely one of my favorite posts ever.
