I hope everyone had a lovely New Year’s Day. Today, I thought I’d post something fun and uncomplicated. These are the genius little musical memes by composer Brandon Ethridge. He composes real music, too, but it’s his wee compositions to viral videos (mostly involving animals and children) that have been my obsession for the last few days.

My first experience of Brandon Ethridge was the following video, which I believe I have watched at least 2 dozen times (likely more), and it’s the most silly and satisfying thing ever.

I love the spirit of Brandon Ethridge. He seems like an extremely nice man, and his sense of humor is spot on. His musicalization (is that a word? Who cares?) of spoken word is highly entertaining, and he made me laugh a lot this week.

You can see all of Brandon Ethridge’s adorable videos on his website and on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
