Top Comments
Arlee Bird -Jake and Kimmi do a very capable cover, but it is a bit too true in its coverishness and a bit too cutesy for me. Now let me go back to bed and be lazy.
Shady Del Knight – You are one lazy dude, Jeffrey! When I listened to version #1 by Kimmi & Jake, the sweetness made my teeth ache.
Debbie D. - Kimmi's voice makes me grimace.
Madilyn Quinn - I guess I'll give my vote to Kimmi and Jake, if just not to vote for Bruno Mars haha
Michele Truhlik - Lol! You cracked me up with your lazy post! I think I like the blend of the male/female vocals with Kimmi and Jake. I liked both videos too.
Stephanie Faris - She has an amazing voice, but how can you beat Bruno Mars? Although the gorillas have always been a little disturbing.
Tammy - I vote for Bruno. I love this song, it goes through my head every morning! lol
Janie Junebug - I am so tired, and I want to be lazy. Then I hear Kimmi's voice. Suddenly I want to get up to dance. I vote for the first contenders.
FAE - Anyone who appears with monkeys in their video gets my vote. Most fun BATTLE of the day.
Stephen T. McCarthy - Well, that first version was just so damned sweet that I immediately made an appointment with the dentist.
Birgit - The first version gave me the shakes...because I had too much sugar:)
Dixie - OH Jeffrey! The Lazy Song and yet, now I feel energized. Help!
Guilie -BoTB this time seems to have hit on pretty much my top 5 Most Hated Songs of All Time. The only thing I dislike more than the actual song here is Mr. Bruno himself.
dolorah - I'll have to remember those Chimps for the next time I don't feel like an actual post, lol. Watching them was loads of fun.

Are you currently in the BOTB and don't see your name in the list above? Let me know in comments and I'll include it.
The outcome was pretty balanced considering. Hard to beat out Bruno with his own song.

Tossing It Out
Agreed. I was certain the margin would be wider. This is the main reason I don't like to use the original song. But I was too lazy to look for an additional cover.
DeleteSorry I missed it - was on vacation.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. I just assumed you were being lazy. ;)
DeleteHi, Jeffrey! Unsolved mystery: How can a lazy guy like you write such a long and detailed post? :)
ReplyDeleteI voted against the grain in almost every BOTB this cycle including yours. I feel like the lone juror who stands in the way of a unanimous guilty verdict in a trial. If you ever stage a singing contest between Paul McCartney and Gilbert Gottfreid, I'm the guy to call if you wanna prevent a shut-out. :)
Anyway, a 4 vote spread is a good outcome, Jeffrey. Congratulations!
Well, a lot of the ending (listing the other members of BOTB) is a stock comment. Just cut and past. All the comments are prepared by people like you. All I had to do was find the video, throw everything together and announce the winner.
DeleteHey, we seem to have voted the same on this battle.
<< Hey, we seem to have voted the same on this battle.>>
DeleteYes, I should have mentioned that but I was too damn lazy.
I'm so lazy, I'm not even going to reply to your comment replying to my com.....
DeleteD'oh!!!!!!
Well, this turned out to be a close battle. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI really like that Uptown Funk movie dance footage video. I've seen it before, but I had to watch it again. just for fun:)
Yea, I thought it was a fun video. Love watching to see all the movies included. This person has way to much time on their hands, good for us. :)
DeleteLMAO! Glad you reprinted my comment about Kimmie's voice. Shady will love that. ☺ The best version won, IMO. Thanks for the energizing video!
ReplyDeleteGlad you appreciated it. Hope you went to McDonald's and got your shake.
DeleteWoohoo I won the battle!! Bruno Mars to me is like this generation's Michael Jackson. HE's so talented and can dance!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems so, 100 movies dance along with him today.
DeleteQ: Thanks to everyone who stopped by and placed a vote.

It's like you were reading my mind.
DeleteYou can't hear Uptown Funk without it lifting your mood! And that video just shows how timeless the song is, since it goes so well with movies from so many different decades.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I thought it was fun to think of a movie with dance in it and see if it showed up. I think just about all the movies I thought of were shown.
DeleteFor being lazy, this post is rather long haha .. I'm disappointed Bruno Mars won. >:(
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine if I were motivated?
DeleteCongrats to Bruno. It must be fun to be him.
ReplyDeleteMore fun than a barrel of monkeys.
