Mr. Bright Guy
Yes, I made a fan music video. However, this one is different, as there are no other music videos on Youtube of this song about this subject. So, thank you for your indulgence. This is a music video of a song by Eric D. Snider (www.ericdsnider.com) about Ken Jennings (www.ken-jennings.com). Ken Jennings, of course, was noted for his 74-game winning streak on American TV's Jeopardy! in 2004. Eric is an online movie critic, humor columnist, and musical wit--kind of a Roger Ebert, Dave Barry, and "Weird Al" Yankovic all rolled into one. Both are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons, LDS), were born in 1974, attended the same university (BYU) that I did, are very intelligent, watch a lot of movies, and have good senses of humor. They also write the only two blogs that I currently read regularly. Here's an entertaining column wherein Eric describes meeting Ken in late 2006: http://www.ericdsnider.com/snide/ken-you-believe-it/ Ken's blog entry describing the same event is here: http://ken-jennings.com/blog/?p=204 The song is a parody of "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers. About the middle of the song, Stephen Colbert and David Letterman make brief cameos. Neil Armstrong (possibly Buzz Aldrin), Tom Cruise, Mitt Romney, Rodin's "The Thinker" and Michelangelo's "David" (no nudity, though) also get featured. (Did I just name drop to get additional hits to this video? Yes I did. Why do you think this description is so long?) Fellow Jeopardy! and Who Wants to Be A Millionaire champs Brad Rutter, Kevin Olmstead and Nancy Christy also get featured, as well as Bob Boden, a game show enthusiast. Also, Nancy Zerg, who beat Ken Jennings. And a nerd superman. The rest (like Oprah Winfrey) get named in the lyrics. By the way, that's Eric at the beginning of the song playing a song which is not the one you're hearing. If you're interested, you can hear that song, "Safety First," a parody of "Choose the Right" here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=F4y3sRDq0d0 That's also him singing "The Scully Song," about Agent Dana Scully of "The X-Files," in this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jfm0tXO-OiI "Mr Bright Guy" was available for purchase on Eric's CD "Monkeys and Pirates are Funny," but that CD sold out recently, unfortunately. The good news is that Eric has generously enabled the public to listen to that and several more of his songs here: http://www.ericdsnider.com/player.php Here are the lyrics of the song: Coming out of Salt Lake and I was doing real nice I could always ring first with my signaling device. I had questions for all of the answers they gave. It was not a tight game It was not a close shave. I was up by a lot When we got to the end Alex told me I'd won That the winner was Ken. For the next several weeks I would win every time My opponents were geeks But they were facing Ken Jennings I could not stop winning I'm too smart! I'll be a star A nerd icon A game show King Kong Jeopardy! Makes a rich Saint out of me My Church will say "Oh my heck!" When they see my tithing check. I'm a Mormon millionaire! Maybe faced with dorky hair You can't beat me, don't even try, 'Cause I'm Mr. Bright Guy. After seventy-four games I was on quite a streak People tuned in to watch like I was some kind of freak Household name I became "Hey, it's squeaky-clean slouch" Oh, without posing nude, or jumping on Oprah's couch. But on show 75 I began to have trouble 'Cause I kept screwing up When I hit Daily Doubles. By the end of the game, I was up but not much And then Final Jeopardy! came And I disappointed Alex When I wrote "What is Fed Ex?" I was wrong! My reign was done I left in shock It was H&R Block. Jeopardy! I was making history A Mormon who is notable For knowing potent potables. But all good things have to end Trebek says we can still be friends My fifteen minutes have gone by But I'm Mr. Bright Guy. Additional Credits: Thanks to jdkresz, darijoe, foundonfloor, and kraut63, for uploading clips of and about Jeopardy that were used in the video, as well as knobodi for the clip of the earth exploding. The painting that appears during the lyrics "I was making" is "Blacksmith Shop Scene" by Herman Geisen, circa 1950. Various other images were found at various places on the internet (including several from ken-jennings.com). I altered some of them, and I believe their use here is allowed under free use. Hope you enjoy it. --Ryan Reeder

God Of Abraham compared to other gods.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goatse. 12 When ye come to appearf before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquityg, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. 15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieveh the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. The Holy Bible : King James Version. 1995 (electronic ed. of the 1769 edition of the 1611 Authorized Version.) (Is 1:10-20). Bellingham WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.
