I made my own version of MTV, complete with animated idents, but for weird and terrible novelty songs (there are hundreds of them in there).

Simply stunning. Is the order random? I got two Doctor Who related songs in a row - not that I am complaining. One of them was Doctor in Distress, so I guess I am complaining a little.

Yes, it's random, and yes, you have every right to complain.

This is indeed amazing. Forwarded to several friends who now hate me.

Since this is using Youtube embeds, is there possibly a Youtube playlist (or channel) that carries the same material? I'd love to share this with Mrs. Intermod on the teevee tonight (instead of on a laptop). If not, no big deal, and thanks!

There isn't a playlist, but here's the tab-separated data in case it's useful to you (looks like there are various ways to create playlists from lists of IDs).

And now I know that there's a MeFi Projects page. ;)

(Even keeping with the distinctly British bent of many of the choices, there are so many worthy additions if you feel like expanding it further. The Bonzos, for instance, are perfect for such an endeavor and have lots of footage, and I'm impressed that you knew the Barron Knights. Chris Carter pulls Merry Gentle Pops out of storage for his British Invasion show each year when Xmas approaches.)

Or, even better, I have a British friend who's the reason I knew about this site in the first place, as he linked to it on Bluesky, and _he_ specializes in whimsical musical creations that'd mesh here beautifully.

Like Go to the Toilet, or for those of a Whovian bent, his musical oral history of the complete Doctor Who as of about six years ago.

Oh wow, this is a lot of fun, pretty slick, reminiscent of days gone by, pretty spectacular and holy moly, I miss the old days now. Thank you for this, malevolent!
