NOTE: This song/video was created using 100% PUBLIC DOMAIN and Creative Commons footage and audio!<br /><br />I decided to teach myself how to write a song (well, mash-up or re-mix a song anyways) - so I downloaded a bunch of public domain musicals and films and created this video - by mashing up Cab Calloway (from 'Hi De Ho'), Louie Bellson (from 'Rock n' Roll Revue') and Nat 'King' Cole's Calypso Blues (from 'Rhythm & Blues Revue').<br /><br />In all, it required footage from 8 different films (and a couple samples/loops, as the old films didn't have that nice, deep bass like we have in music nowadays).<br /><br />The entire time I was editing this, I couldn't help but think of Magnitude (from the tv show Community, of course)...
