ok, so if you don't know Vince (the shamwow guy) then you might as well leave right now. I think Seth Stevenson, from slate magazine has done a fantastic job of describing him. here is a brief outtake

There's something captivating about Vince, the Shamwow pitchman. I always perk up when I hear those initial, outer-borough syllables: "Hi, it's Vince wit Shamwow....

The first thing I notice is the physical grace. Vince puts the Shamwow through its paces with the fluid dexterity of a three-card monte dealer. Cleaning up spills appears not just effortless, but fun.

There's a genius, too, in his hectoring tone. He makes us feel like idiots for even entertaining the notion of not buying a Shamwow. "You're gonna spend $20 every month on paper towels, anyway," he says, palms up and head tilted back. He seems truly dumbfounded that anyone might fail to see the wisdom of dropping 28 bucks (including shipping) on a set of rags.

Vince also conveys a street-smart persona—with his headset microphone, rat-a-tat phrasing and fuhgeddaboutit confidence—that's intended to get the viewer thinking, "Hey, this guy's sharp. He knows a good deal." (It may also get us thinking, "Hey, this guy's a douche. He needs a better haircut." But that's a secondary issue.)

anyways Vince is now back selling the slapchop. (although i would really call it selling, as the thing practically sells itself) do yourself a favor and watch this:



well this video inspired me to put some music to vinces words. it's definitely not perfect, but here is my first pass at it. and don't worry if i find a good nuts song, i'll for sure add it.

0:02 “hi it's Vince” There's not to many songs entitled Vince, but Vincent Knows by Saul Kaye does a good job of conveying the swagger.

0:05 “Slapping your troubles away.” Two perfect songs for this. Troubles by The Beta Band and No More Trouble by Bob Marley

0:12 “Add a Mushroom” Nothing could even come close to adding a mushroom like The Dark Side of The Moon album. Here is my favorite track - Great Gig In the Sky.

0:18 “Salad!” Couldn't really come up with a good salad song... but i did find it interesting that a salad in this mans world consists of radish, a carrot, and stringy celery. (who in the hell calls it "stringy"??? I've never heard this is my life)

0:24 “Looks boring” Dry tuna in a can, yes. dry tuna on top of a slapchop salad, excitement city. but if you ask Sun Kil Moon, he will tell you that Space Travel is Boring. so i'm pretty sure he will continue to have a boring life, even if he does get the slapchop.

0:33 “Mix things together” you gotta be careful when you start to mix a bunch of random things together. You could get All Mixed Up like the Red House Painters.

0:35 “You’re going to have an exciting life now.” waitaminute!!! i'm going to have an exciting life now??? like johnny in Iggy Pop's Lust For Life

0:37 “You’re going to love my nuts.”

[rewind]

0:37 “You’re going to love my nuts.”

[rewind]

0:37 “You’re going to love my nuts.” I can honestly say that I have spent at least 3 hours searching the catacombs of music to find an appropriate song. nothing. I am soo sorry to let you down. but I will now make this one a life-long quest. to find the perfect song for this one statement.

0:40 “You can do everything in the cover.” I love covers. my personal favorite is Stereophonic's Nothing Compares To You.

0:50 “1.......2....” you knew this was coming. 1234 (Remix) by Feist

1:07 “Life’s hard enough as it is. You don’t want to cry anymore.” Vince telling me is one thing, but I'd much rather hear it from Axl. Don't Cry - Guns N' Roses

1:14 “The skin comes right off.” Wait, where? Oh, the arrow shows me. Blazing Arrow by Blackalicious

1:17 “We’re going to make America skinny again” I personally don't like it when people are too skinny. But Bon Iver does. Here's proof in his balad Skinny Love

1:27 “Fettuccini. Linguini. Martini. Bikini.” ummm. i'm just going to pass on this one.

1:34 “It comes with a cover.” Another one??? well okay. how about The Kooks covering Ace of Base. Here is All That She Wants

1:42: “You know we can’t do this all day.” Nope. because, as Jump, Little Children do so well in expressing. All Those Days are Gone.

1:46 “Call...” These ladies do a much better job of soliticiting. Blondie definitely makes me want to call in Call Me. And Leonna Ness tries without success in Calling.

Well that's it for now.
