Coronavirus remake of the song “Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen”

The coronavirus simply does not have a chance, all the resources of mankind go to fighting it: doctors treat sick people, scientists are trying to find a vaccine, the Japanese singer Pikotaro is recording a new hit…

Pikotaro is famous for his 2016 hit song Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen that overshadowed and made PSY, the famous Korean rapper whose music video Gangnam Style became one of the most-watched YouTube videos, nervous.

In April of this year, Pikotaro made a remake of his hit, replacing “pen,” “apple,” and “orange” with “hands” and “soap.” In the video, the performer is dressed in his signature gold costume, smiles playfully, and demonstrates how to wash his hands. In one day, the song got about one and a half million views.

An app that helps create deepfakes

Deepfakes are perhaps the most high-profile topic of the past year. They misled people, distorted words, and amused people. It was difficult for mere mortals to make a deepfake just for fun, it was necessary to understand how neural networks and algorithms work. Ordinary people wanted something like an app in which you could get a ready-made masterpiece by pressing one button.

God, or rather Apple heard the prayers of users, and such an app actually has appeared. It’s called Impressions and works super simply: you need to record a video in a selfie mode, select the star you want to turn into, and wait for the servers to process your request. It takes some time, but the result is quite nice.

Twitter user Travis Akers posted an excerpt from the speech with a caption, “We’re good now.” In a couple of days, the tweet scored 2.8 million views.

#zoombackground – a flash mob to surprise your colleagues

Who would have thought that Zoom online conferencing platform would become the main communication tool? There, people hold conferences, throw parties, quiz nights, and even do fitness, jeez. And all this instead of eating like ordinary people in quarantine.

Zoom’s main feature is the ability to add background images to the conference. For instance, your room is a complete mess, and you are not eager to show it to your colleagues. With one keystroke, you add a photo of a clean room and voila! The background is ready. Yesterday, everyone wanted to look like decent people in Zoom, and today they are looking for something special to put as a background. The search led to a flash mob dedicated to Zoom backgrounds with a hashtag #zoombackground. Here are some of the most unusual ones.

Freeriding without leaving the room

Philipp Klein Herrero, a fan of skiing from Barcelona, made a short film about freeriding without leaving the room. The film is based on a true story – back in spring, before the coronavirus pandemic, Philipp and his family were planning to go freeriding.

“Just before the current health situation locked us in, I was about to go Freeriding with my family. It was supposed to be the big adventure of the year, the one I had been eagerly awaiting for a year. Therefore, the lockdown had me thinking about skiing the whole time, so I started to think how I could ski without leaving my living room,” said Philipp in a description of the video he uploaded to YouTube.

For a long time, the Simpsons had no idea about the existence of the Arizona band. But then the band recorded the fateful Howdilly Doodilly album and reached the heart of Al Jean, one of the Simpsons producers. Al Gene liked the White Wine Spritzer track so much that he put it in the final credits of one of the Simpsons episodes (season 30, episode 20).

"I was a potato from the very beginning," Ocampo said. "I had no idea why I was a potato, and I couldn't change it to a regular camera."
