So that's how the Virgin Mary got pregnant.  It all makes sense now!

Dude, I don't care how badass your metal cover of "Careless Whisper" is about to be…

Don't wink at me beforehand.

Seriously.  No matter what you do to it, it's still a George Michael song.  NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

Did Joe Satriani wink before he…  uh…

Alright, I'm not even going to pretend like anyone knows anything Joe Satriani has ever done.

One of the big things on the Internet this week was "Nyan Cat."

What is Nyan Cat?  I'm not entirely sure.  It appears to be a half-cat, half-toaster pastry that flies through space while shitting rainbows.

It's extremely annoying.  In fact, I found myself wondering, Can anything be more annoying than watching this video?

Then I discovered the answer: Watching a bunch of these videos all at the same time.

After the jump, I've embedded seven more versions of the Nyan Cat video.  CLICK HEREto see them all.  Then start at the top, and one-by-one, press play all the way down…

Let's get this Friday started!  Nyan Cat party up in here, bitches!

You can thank me when your coworkers kill you.

Recently, I've been seeing more and more buzz around the song "Don't Brush My Hair in Knots" by Murp.

The band Murp has gotten a lot of traction since putting their live performance of "Don't Brush My Hair in Knots" on the web in May of 2010, topping over 200,000 views.  They've seen a recent spike in traffic after getting picked up by a few big sites including Yahoo!

But just because Murp is going mainstream, I don't know why people think of Murp as some sort of one hit wonder.  I celebrate Murp's entire catalog.

That's why I'm not going to be just one more site promoting Murp's big single.  The Tosh.0 blog doesn't do payola.  We don't bow down to the big record company execs in their three-button suits.

Instead I've embedded Murp's latest classic, "Murp means Happy."

In an analogical sense, Murp may just become Nirvana to Rebecca Black's Michael Jackson, changing the zeitgeist of video-based online music forever.  At least for this week.

Murp 'til I die!!!!!

"Oh awesome, man!  You got one of those new computers that automatically posts everything you record on it to the Internet no matter how embarrassing it is and how much you'll regret it later!  Sweet!  How much did that cost you?  Your dignity?"

I didn't realize the lead singer of Marcy Playground had a Facebook account!

We've learned a very important lesson from this…

John Lennon was super into Fridays.

On Friday afternoon, we postedabout the painfully awful Rebecca Black song, "Friday."

I'm on the Internet all week.  So when the weekend hits, I pull my router out of the wall and enter a two-day red wine and Valium-induced coma.  I ended my workweek by putting "Friday" on Facebook, I shut down my computer and that was that.

But the Internet keeps rolling while I snooze, and a star was born.  The original vid racked up over 2 million views.  And here we are on Monday and Rebecca is still a trending topicon Twitter.

The web was flooded with earnest acoustic covers, remade music videos and all sorts of remixes.

Certainly it would be remiss of me to not provide at least a glimpse into all the fervor for those who didn't get their Rebecca Black fill over the weekend.  So I've put together a round-up of some of the best and most bizarre "Friday" covers.

But then I think it's time to lay this one to rest.  I was even inspired to write some parody lyrics of my own for a song called "Monday"…

It's Monday…  Monday…  I don't give a fuck on Monday…
Everybody's lookin' forward to the next thing… next thing…

Tons of links after the jump…

Rebecca Black: "Are you sure these are the lyrics you want me to sing?"
Producer: "What are you talking about?"
Rebecca Black: "This part where I just kinda slowly explain the ordering of the days of the week?"
Producer: "That's the hook, baby!  We breakin' it down for the kids!  They gonna know those days!!"

I was so moved by Lionel's sign that I made one of my own to post next to it. You know, just in case he came back looking.
