Slumdog Millionaire Final Dance Scene "Corrected" at last to "Peanut Butter Jelly Time"

I was just idly goofing around on Twitter for a few rounds with some friends last night and somehow this happened. And by "happened," I mean Kent Nichols made it. I honestly don't see how the earlier "uncorrected" version won that Oscar, this is SO much better.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time Slumdog Millionaire Mashup (YouTube thanks Kent Nichols!) and here's the origin of the internet meme reference. And as BB commenter NYLUND points out, "Her yellow scarf does make it look like she is wearing a banana costume in the wide angle shots."

That was the longest cut of "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" that I have ever heard.

That was the "Stairway to Heaven" of "Peanut Butter Jelly Time."

Using the Ying Yang Twins version of Peanut Butter Jelly Time makes this even better. I have watched the part with with "sissy walk" and "where you at" at 1:10 about 20 times now. It's pure genius.

It may just be the bias of the timetable of my BB viewership, but I really love how (as far as I can tell) your enthusiastic silliness has been facilitated (augmented? encouraged?) by Twitter these days, Xeni.

@#4 NorrinRazael, oh, I've been enthusiastically silly for an awfully long time. I think Twitter just makes that more public, and allows for faster, sillier improvisations on the blog, like this one.

its good to know theres an army of memesoldiers out there quickly fixing the interwebs like this... reassuring, it is...

Oh, well, that's all I really meant. Glad I'm not just hallucinating effects of the future on favorite bloggers/authors. Now to just wait until I see Morpheus twittering @dreams with a crackberry in a new Neil Gaiman/JoCo song/sketch mashupOH GOD RULE 34[link redacted].

That PBJT was so IN MY FACE, it's under my skin festering like a ingrown hair.

hawsome.

Fantastic! The beats are so different, yet it works so well. It's way better than with the original music.

Hmmm maybe just because this song just sticks in my head like peanut butter stuck to the roof of my mouth - both annoying - but...

how about instead You're the One That I Want from the original Grease movie soundtrack. Alright so I'm old but I'm just saying, think it would work just as well, and at least I can handle that song running through my head all day rather than Peanut Butter Jelly Time, ugh.

Still pretty darn cool.

@11 - Oh god, that would be SO WONDERFUL.

This mashup SUCKS.

I can't wait for the folks at YTMND to distill and extract it down to its core essence of awesomeness.

Wow, the worst movie of all time just got worster. Thanks, of a sort.

Seriously, though, what better way to expose this cinematic fraud in all its emptiness: "Global Exploitation Time," "Colonialist Nostalgia Time," hellz no, it's PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

Ah, the emptiness of signification! Ah, goddess Copyfight, liberating content from the shackles of original ownership and intent! O brave new world, that hath such brave slum-digital entertainment in it!

worstest movie of all time? really? future and past? because a brit dared to direct a story (using an largely native cast and crew) set in the slums of a former colony?

i mean, i appreciate rabid, frothing hyperbole as much as the next faceless internet psuedonym, but doncha think that's a teensy bit heavy handed, dawwg?

This absolutely made my day. Thanks for putting the peanut butter jelly on the big-lipped aligator.

Not because, but how he did it, rather. For example: http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/showbiz/197975/Glitz-all-over-for-Slumdog-Millionaire-stars-as-they-go-back-to-life-of-squalor-in-Mumbai-slums.html. Life goes on after the cameras stop, no? Uncle Danny?

Azharuddin—the 10-year-old who played little Salim, the lead character’s brother—also has a bright-red Nintendo DS, a gift from film director Danny Boyle.

But he won’t be able to recharge it when the battery runs out as there is no electricity in the shack where he lives with his parents.

Not much to say, really....

We've been witnessing more and more of these spontaneous bursts of public coordinated dancing lately. I was silently waiting on the Track 1 platform for the Raritan Line train out of New York Penn Station the other day when suddenly this fat stock trader set off another damn wave of dancing. The damn thing delayed my train and I missed the connecting train in Newark. I had to wait another hour for the next train while people around me were humming that damn tune. Friggin Slumdogs.

haven't seen it yet, is it worth it?

[#23 posted by Jay Acker , March 1, 2009 10:24 PM]

I didn't like it. The original song and choreography was so good that this "mashup" didn't add anything more.

There I said it, I feel so much better now.

@HGLucky You are brilliant
