Warner Music Group Plays Off Keyboard Cat
For those readers who don't find cats playing keyboards with Stevie Wonder-like swagger hilarious, today, you'll see justice. Keyboard Cat (one of the Internet's most baffling viral videos featuring a passive cat pounding out jams on a keyboard) is being challenged by Warner Music Group. Amongst some of Keyboard Cat's greatest hits is an edited video of Helen Hunt in the eighties film 'Desperate Lives' mixed, randomly, with 'You Make My Dreams Come True' by pop-rockers Hall & Oates.
Apparently, Warner Music Group doesn't think the blue-shirted feline is a good accompaniment with the tune, and has pulled the audio of the smooth '80s rockers from YouTube. Wired.com points out that the viral phenomenon of Fatso the Cat (RIP) is suddenly giving Hall & Oates a surge in popularity amongst Internet jokesters, something Warner should appreciate.
Necessary disclaimer: When the Hall & Oates/Helen Hunt/Keyboard Cat collaboration first entered our radar, we stopped dead in our browsing. We laughed, we cried, and we still don't know why. Perhaps its Fatso's Zen-like face, or the catchy organ, but whatever it is, it's a video we'll surely miss watching on YouTube.
Fortunately, you can still watch the video in all its head-bopping glory above -- for now. [From: CNET, via Wired.com]

When are these dinosaurs going to realize free publicity like this in NO WAY cuts into their revenue stream and in most cases actually helps them? Is there anything left that hasn't been ruined by lawyers?
