Pomplamoose — “Beat It” by Michael Jackson
Pomplamoose is, in my opinion, the finest and most talented example of “videosong,” a musical medium with the following guidelines:
- What you see in the video track is what you’re hearing on the audio track — no lip-syncing. Both are recorded simultaneously.
- Everything you hear must be shown at some point — no sounds with mysterious origins.
There is usually some use of multiple video streams such that many (if not all) of the streams being heard are simultaneously being seen. I really dig it, as it’s an incredibly geeky and educational medium. It promotes the sharing of techniques and showcases skills in a very honest way.
It also doesn’t hurt that Nataly Dawn is adorable, and a bit enigmatic in that she sings with talent and confidence, but the expression on her face betrays apparent surprise at her abilities. “Wait, did I just sing that?”
Check them out on YouTube; they have tons of content. Here’s a good example of one of their original compositions.
This one is really awesome. Oh, and from a year ago, the “Anti Video Song”

Pomplamoose rocks!! Quirky to the 9 with funk for miles!
Some of these are really great, I can’t imagine how many you had to slog through before you found a talented one though.
Look at mine!
