AC/DC Turn "Rock N Roll Train" Into World's First Excel Video

AC/DC have come to the rescue of all those bored in their office, re-releasing their "Rock N' Roll Train" as "the world's first music video in an Excel spreadsheet." The video is exactly like the new RS cover boys' initial "Train" video, except this time around singer Brian Johnson is composed of ampersands and asterisks. Plus, the video actually runs through Excel, so it'll look like you're doing work instead of spending company time watching AC/DC videos. We're not entirely sure how they made this video, either some kind of computer program was employed or some guy in his cubicle has entirely too much time on his hands, but it's pretty awesome. Watch a preview of the video here, or download the entire Excel-ready clip here.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
