Happy Hump Day! I’m taking over the DJ and bartender duties while Don Durito is on walkabout. For today’s theme, I’m being a good environmentalist and recycling the songs I posted in the comments to Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 85, which were the finalists for Music Video of 2018 at the People’s Choice Awards. Yes, I love awards shows.
Selena Gomez, “Back to You”
Ariana Grande, “No Tears Left to Cry”
Childish Gambino, “This Is America”
Camila Cabello, “Never Be the Same”
BTS, “Idol”
I begin with the winner of not only Music Video of 2018, but also Song of 2018, Group of 2018, and Social Celebrity of 2018, BTS with “Idol.”
While I voted for “This Is America” by Childish Gambino, I can see why “Idol” won. Speaking of which, here is my personal favorite among the finalists.
My second favorite nominee was “No Tears Left To Cry” by Ariana Grande.
I’ll post the videos of the other two finalists plus videos of songs by the other music winners in the comments.
Once again, I’m concluding the diary proper by quoting Don Durito.
For those of you wondering how I and Neon Vincent are circumventing Sucuri to embed videos, here is an example of the embed code we use, so that you can replicate as wanted:
Just remember that each unique 11-digit video code in YouTube needs to be pasted in two separate locations within the embed code in order for your video to show up properly. So easy that I can do it!
With those instructions, feel free to post your favorite music videos in the comments.
Today, I’m recycling the drink I used in Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 58, Ariana Grande Frappuccino | Starbucks Secret Menu.
That looks like it tastes better than a unicorn frappucchino.
The Bartender is taking requests.
“Avengers: Infinity War” earned the most trophies of any movie at the People’s Choice Awards, winning Movie of 2018, Action Movie of 2018, and Female Movie Star of 2018 for Scarlett Johansson. so it deserves a drink. Tipsy Bartender just happens to have four of them from the very first movie in the series six years ago:The Avengers Cocktails.
Drink to superheroes!
Like the previous drink and all the songs so far, I recycled this drink recipe, this time from Midweek Cafe and Lounge, Vol. 64. Hey, it’s America Recycles Day!
One of the movies that tied for second with trophies at the People’s Choice Award was “Fifty Shades Freed,” which won Drama Movie of 2018 and Drama Movie Star of 2018 for Jamie Dornan. Here is a drink for the first movie in the series, The 50 Shades of Grey Cocktail – Tipsy Bartender.
Finally, a drink I don’t think I’ve recycled from earlier episodes of this series. My personal blog is another matter.
“Idol” by BTS was my third choice, so here’s my fourth choice, “Back to You” by Selena Gomez.
My fifth and last choice was “Never Be the Same” by Camila Cabello.
