Please Use This Song
Jon Lajoie wrote a little song you can use in your TV ads. It will sell anything, but he’s mainly aiming to sell the song itself. See, there’s no money in the music business (for artists), but there’s plenty in advertising. The lyrics, and an iTunes link, are at the YouTube page. (via Uproxx)
12 Happy Dogs and One Cat
Twelve very happy and well-behaved dogs go for an excursion to the beach in Australia and express themselves to the tune of “Happy.” Oh yeah, there’s a cat, too. It’s Didga, the skateboarding cat! You know he’ll be able to hold his own with all those dogs. This video is a lot of fun, but you just wait until they all go swimming -including Didga! (via Tastefully Offensive)

The Ballad of Sniffer and Tinni
It's a real life Disney movie! Sniffer the fox and and Tinni the dog are real life best friends living in a forest in Norway. Tinni’s owner, photographer Torgeir Berge, has documented their relationship and made them famous in their native Norway. Now their story has been turned into a children’s book by author Berit Helberg. Helberg also wrote a song about them, and this is the video. Her vocals are more confident in the Norwegian version (Snusen og Tinni), which you can see at Daily Picks and Flicks.
