It's all ewin's fault. She started me on this one:

and it was all downhill from there.

That first one is Indiana University's a capella group "Straight, No Chaser" performing a really well-done parody medley on "The 12 Days of Christmas". (And not one I'd heard before, either, which is the impressive part.) This sort of thing takes a lot of talent to do well, and they've got it.

From there I went to

which is their rendition of "This is How We Do It". Not a song I'd been familiar with, but again, a well-done performance.

I followed "related to" links once or twice to get to the Pet Shop Boys singing "Where The Street Has No Name". Which is surprisingly good if you like dance mix reimaginations of songs.

And from here to them doing "Somewhere":

By now you're probably bored, so I'll finish off with the ADD Shopping Network:

Make sure you watch both the ticker and the 'ads' flashing to the left.
