Speaker 1: What's going on in Dallas. So us story on w
Speaker 1: f A a channel and I just call it channel.
Speaker 1: But w FA there's a band. Now, it's a band
Speaker 1: and it started. It's the brainchild of a fella from
Speaker 1: Denton named Dustin Ballard. And what he started doing during COVID.
Speaker 1: He didn't have TikTok at the time, and then COVID
Speaker 1: started taking popular songs and kind of mashing them up
Speaker 1: into other genres. He's a musician, plays violin, so he
Speaker 1: kind of you understands how to use some of this
Speaker 1: software and things like that. But he was also having
Speaker 1: fun with music videos too, and taking certain songs and
Speaker 1: putting them on different music videos and just kind of
Speaker 1: having fun when he was during COVID. So, for instance,
Speaker 1: this band played a show recently at the Kestler. They've started.
Speaker 1: They've they've now formed a band. They're all live I
Speaker 1: want to say touring acts. They are like on tour,
Speaker 1: but they played gigs. The lead singer from Hazlitt, the
Speaker 1: name's Anna Pina, he's the vocalist. There's a bunch of
Speaker 1: DFW musicians in this band. They're called There. I ruined
Speaker 1: it so it started online, got big on TikTok, two
Speaker 1: point eight million followers on Instagram, three point five million
Speaker 1: followers on TikTok. So now they can go anywhere in
Speaker 1: the world and there'll be someone who knows them because
Speaker 1: they have that many followers. And what they do is
Speaker 1: he calls it parody. For instance, Eminem's Lose Yourself, but
Speaker 1: it's a country waltz. Yeah, straight out of Compton, but
Speaker 1: it's polka. I looked at their set list from this
Speaker 1: was last year at the dpel Mark Company. They closed
Speaker 1: with flow Rider's Low you know, boots with the fur
Speaker 1: into the Saints go marching in and then they also
Speaker 1: did No Surprises by Radiohead and all the lyrics are
Speaker 1: replaced by Miles.
Speaker 2: Bad Ass.
Speaker 3: Do you have any of this, Well, I have something
Speaker 3: that they did on.
Speaker 1: For instance, they did do up Style Down with the
Speaker 1: Sickness but Disturbed right what I pulled those from our
Speaker 1: buddies Drowning Pool and this is something just did online.
Speaker 1: This is June of twenty twenty one, so this is
Speaker 1: before they're out playing gigs and stuff. He's probably still
Speaker 1: growing this thing. But it's Bodies by Drowning Pool Kids Edition,
Speaker 1: The Bodies.
Speaker 4: The Bodies, the bodies, the bodies, that's the gall.
Speaker 1: Kids are all jumping in the music video. That's so good.
Speaker 3: It's really funny.
Speaker 2: Let's put this in rotation on these Yeah.
Speaker 3: Really crazy.
Speaker 1: I was looking at their YouTube channel, I mean, over
Speaker 1: a million subscribers there. There was a clip that was
Speaker 1: on one of these talk shows. They did fifty cents
Speaker 1: into Club but put Conway Twitty behind it and uh,
Speaker 1: fifty cents on a talk show and they played it
Speaker 1: and he is like, yeah, Beyonce, you've got nothing on me.
Speaker 1: Like basically, they're taking credit for it being a country song.
Speaker 3: It's all kind of weird.
Speaker 1: And you know what I realized when looking at this
Speaker 1: is a couple weeks ago Ben sent me some audio
Speaker 1: to pool and it was the Liam Neeson taken but redone.
Speaker 1: You know, it was like, uh, you know, not dramatic,
Speaker 1: but in another way, I forgot what the whole point
Speaker 1: of it was. But they did that, or this guy
Speaker 1: did that. So he's just got a bunch of f
Speaker 1: W musicians out. Here's what I'm doing. I'm kind of
Speaker 1: doing comedy, sort of kind of parody, but all these
Speaker 1: talented musicians and they're reworking these songs and They're doing
Speaker 1: a lot of crazy things with it, and I kind
Speaker 1: of wanted to see them now.
Speaker 3: It sounds fun.
Speaker 5: I think Robert O'Neill, one of the guys in the
Speaker 5: Seal Team six, which I don't know if you know
Speaker 5: about the Seal Team six lunch, it's incredible. Twenty two
Speaker 5: thousand calories about what they ate after they got been lunch. Yes, yeah, trying.
Speaker 1: To make a Bingo card. He's going to be there
Speaker 1: spot on the Bingo card because you bring it up
Speaker 1: every damn day.
Speaker 5: Robert O'Neill reblasted the one that had they did jump
Speaker 5: over a Charlie Daniels band kind of thing, and Robert
Speaker 5: O'Neill's kind.
Speaker 3: Of like, since I saw this, you have to see
Speaker 3: it too kind of thing.
Speaker 5: And so I responded to him with what the lunch
Speaker 5: was at rich Tavern.
Speaker 1: Good work, Christina needs to see friendship this. They did
Speaker 1: a song too, He mixed this together. This is a
Speaker 1: long time ago. Got the Yas song. See if you
Speaker 1: can figure out all.
Speaker 3: The people, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: I know I got the Beatles, Brittany, Metallic Genius, Metallica
Speaker 1: is in there. Freddie Mercury, Freddy Mercury Little John. Of
Speaker 1: course I think that was already on the Grande but
Speaker 1: over time, Okay, that was right, Yeah, le.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nickelback.
Speaker 1: Sorry, feetles amazing.
Speaker 5: Have you guys Have you guys seen the you know
Speaker 5: a lot of this starts when you take old video
Speaker 5: and you overdub your own audio. We always laugh at
Speaker 5: the one with Dancing in the Street with Mick Jack
Speaker 5: and David Bowie, or the g I Joe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, g I Joe.
Speaker 5: And there's a ton of them where they take live
Speaker 5: heavy metal performances and they just replay it out of tune,
Speaker 5: you know, and it's it's so so funny. There's one
Speaker 5: there's an account I've really been digging where they take
Speaker 5: NBA highlights and they just overdub fun It's like the
Speaker 5: sounds of sneakers squeaking and the ball bouncing in an
Speaker 5: empty chain and then someone will foul and someone go,
Speaker 5: it's really good. It's just like all these NBA clips
Speaker 5: with like real minimal audio on top of it.
Speaker 2: Those are great bits. Yeah, that's fantastic. We send that
Speaker 2: or posted on social or something. Oh, I need to
Speaker 2: get a link to that. Put that in your panties.
Speaker 2: That's really good. Yeah, and then I'll go in a
Speaker 2: penny raid and grab this. All right, coming up next
Speaker 2: in the weekly weekday Update, We're gonna take his kt.
