3. Maybe pursue a smaller dream.
4. The top 3 tones for voice-over actors.
5. When Rosie O'Donnell visited Martha Stewart in prison.
6. Maybe when the lady seems insecure, it's not what you think.
7. It's the same old song, but with a different melody (and I'm accepting these men in shorts).

You know that James Comey sent Martha Stewart to prison for protesting her innocence, and never proved any underlying crime, and bragged about this practice? isn't our justice system great?
Before you tell me that neither of these statements are true, I would suggest you fire up the old Google machine.
Roadblock guy is my hero.
In spite of their shorts, #7 is a winner.
I liked the pickers (#7) even though they’re ugly. The others were even uglier. Wish I hadn’t watched the others. Including roadblock guy.
7, 2, 3: win, place, show
Not a great lover of TT but the Roadblock of Justice is the sort of vigilante I can appreciate.
I've never seen the phrase 'widen the eyebrows' (perhaps that was the point and I've missed the joke)-- one lifts one's eyebrows and widens one's eyes, surely.
Pinball Prison Blues was originally done by Puddles Pity Party.
I really liked #7. The guy on the left (our left) looks like my UPS driver.
I have lived #6.
Regarding Pursue a smaller dream, I much prefer Frank Turner's attitude
Eulogy
Smaller dream guy absolutely nailed that recording. I don't think I have ever seen anyone quite do that on TikTok or YouTube. Every little intonation on point.
I salute Road Block of Justice Guy.
If I was dying for the flavor of lemon and doing a life sentence, I wouldn't eat a lemon from Rosie O'Donnell's snatch if it had a full pardon attached.
Ha! Thanks Lawrence Person. I couldn't figure out what the difference was.
I think the smaller dreams guy really nailed it except for the problem that he believed it when someone told him he could be a singer.
Tie between Rosie and pinball wizard. I'd add voice-over gal, but sound and sight didn't seem to sync.
Oh! the Road Block of Justice. But I liked no. 7 about as much.
The thing about putting the lyrics of one song to the melody of another shows just how interchangeable our music can be.
I saw a movie called, The Coca Cola Kid, starring Eric Roberts, where they had an Australian band singing a version of Waltzing Matilda to an entirely different melody.
Number 3 was pretty good, both the voice and content.
I see I made a mistake, it's #4 that I like the voices and content. #3 didn't do anything for me.
"Pinball Prison Blues was originally done by Puddles Pity Party."
Thanks for pointing that out.
That does look like the first.
What other songs to the tune of other songs discoveries have been made?
I found a discussion here — https://boards.straightdope.com/t/songs-that-can-be-sung-to-different-melodies/102524/5 — with "Gilligan’s Island = Amazing Grace = House of the Rising Sun = The Yellow Rose Of Texas = Ghost Riders in the Sky = I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing = O Little Town of Bethlehem = Auld Lang Syne = America the Beautiful = god knows what else…"

As I recall, Stewart’s broker told her to sell and so she sold. Which is what you’re supposed to do. When the FBI came knocking, her team concocted an absurd story about frantic calls in the rain. Why she chose to lie about something that would sound perfectly reasonable to most people I’ll never understand, but she did. I’ve always considered her a victim of bad lawyers—her own, not the DOJ’s. They should have counselled her to cooperate.
Rosie - sour puss
The problem w Roadblock Guy is that regardless of some people misusing that lane/shoulder, emergency vehicles may need it open and accessible.
I wonder if the Roadblock of Justice man would have been willing to do that in the absence of being able to film himself doing that and sharing the video on TikTok (or somewhere else).
We've probably all seen or done little acts like that over the years -- finding a bit of a way to obstruct people who are being a**holes without incurring too much risk. But some!
I wonder if people would be more inclined to this kind of social obstruction of people who are out of line if they consider that they can bring a spotlight/camera to what they're doing.
I'll point out that there are scores of hymn tunes, melodies, some ancient, some modern, that are used for multiple hymn texts in churches where the choral tradition is valued (not my own, alas).
I used to have a commute where traffic was stop and go, mostly stop though and people who wanted to get-off at the next exit would use the breakdown lane to reach the exit sooner.
Every so often there'd be a break down lane guy, being a hero. One time I had a hero pull out in front of me, but he chose the wrong place to be a hero--there was flat, unobstructed ground wide of the breakdown lane and I was driving a beater. I didn't even slow down, 50 mph through weeds and gravel! He probably didn't see my salutation through all the dust and rubbish pulled up by my wake.
Unsure that Rosie has a whoohaw.
Martha spent time in Prison and Hillary didn't (that should be reversed)
Martha supports Hillary.
Martha learned. Obey.
I remember one time, back in the 1970s, when the speed limit was restricted to 55 mph, some guys in the Detroit area decided to make some sort of point by driving side by side in all the lanes, stuck on 55, during rush hour. The massive back up of traffic was major news that morning, and everyone seemed to loathe these guys, but they clearly proved that speeding WAS the system.
Road block guy.... been tempted, but don't do it.
1. Lots of crap, like nails on the shoulder.
2. Somebody may be rushing to the hospital.
3. Added, although perhaps slight, danger.
Mostly I was OK with it as his choice until the smug asshole threw in, "Not all heroes wear capes".
Feh
Another song of this sort is Elvis Hitler's "Green Haze," the lyrics to "Green Aces" to the music of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze."
"Not all heroes wear capes".
Everybody is the hero of their own story, but at least as often, they're the asshole of other people's stories.
