A one man whistle stop tour of Les Miserables

If you're like me and you have a penchant for the dramatic and musical theatre, you will likely be no stranger to Les Miserables and the [now] countless versions of it.

However, you may not have heard Nick Pitera's one man show, where he really remarkably battles all parts by himself.  Not only does he get props for the production of the video (which I think is pretty cool too), but whether you're a fan of his voice or not, you have to recognise that he has quite an impressive range.


Anyway, far be it from me to become a YouTube sycophant; but I do like to share videos that leave a lasting impression on me; and as the poor folks next door can attest to, I have enjoyed this quite a lot (and quite loud too).

Have I heard that song before? Hear songs that share the same 4 chords

Warning: There is some NSFW language toward the end, so listen with headphones or quietly.

Do you ever get the distinct impression that you've heard a song before?  Well, there's likely a good explanation for that.  The Axis of Awesome explore [some of] which songs use the same four chords.


Try and sing along, you'll be surprised how much it can be.

The list isn't exhaustive, but includes quite a number and many that left me thinking "Ooooh yeah" as I hadn't really thought about it.

Check out The Axis of Awesome's YouTube channel for lots of fun videos.
