This Is Your Music Video: Tricia Walsh-Smith's "(I'm Going) Bonkers"

thumbnail icon: This Is Your Music Video: Tricia Walsh-Smith's "(I'm Going) Bonkers"

Tricia Walsh-Smith, the woman who became YouTube Famous (i.e. Sad Famous) for posting a rant about her now ex-husband during their divorce has recorded a song called "(I'm Going) Bonkers." (Really? Going?) And now she's made a music video.

I know what you're thinking: who cares? And normally you would be right. I had been ignoring this video all day on other blogs out of what seemed like thoughtful disinterest. But I was wrong. It is so so so good. This would make a stable investment in anyone's LOLk. Seriously. Watch this right now. Watch it twice.

A lot of people are giving Tricia Smith shit for this song--saying things like "she can't sing," or "this is retarded," or "who's Tricia Smith?"--when they should be giving her Grammies for this song. Best New Song About Going Bonkers. Going Bonkers. LOL every time.

I like at the beginning when she's like "You're probably wondering what I'm doing in a dungeon, because I'm in a dungeon," because I was totally thinking what is she doing in a dungeon, if she is in a dungeon. She's probably working in a brothel. That would be the most obvious reason to be in a dungeon. The second most obvious being because she made a record duh. You know, dungeon stuff. The only thing I can't seem to wrap my mind around is the fact that clearly she did not do this alone.

Does anyone have any medicine their not using? I think Tricia is all out. She's crazy like a fox that is very very crazy. Maybe because of rabies.

If I was walking down a street and I saw a woman dancing that badly, in place, in front of prosumer video equipment... actually I'm at an imaginary impasse. Is she saying "I'm going bonkers" out loud, or only mouthing it while in public. I can't handle this.

Actually, I believe that this is your music video: http://chrisdaneowens.com/video/Shine_med.html

Pirates. Witches. Knights. Fireballs. And so much wind-blown hair.

Oh my god. That was LOLtastic.

"Chris Dane Owens" is the ugliest woman I've ever seen.

At first I was like, "who are those poor kids she's dancing with" and then I realized that they're probably her kids. Eeeww.

Tricia Walsh-Smith is not your girlfriend, she's your mom.

Dude, what's up with your mom? Why is she dancing like that? And why is she dressed like that? If I were you, I'd be pretty embarassed right now.

Gabe, I only come back to this site because of your writing. The video is great, but it was epic because of your setup. Thank you.

i like to think the bits about a "him" and "he" was written about some American college junior on study abroad. maybe farther along in the video she explains who it is? i didn't get that far. but just savor the imaginary emotional cocktail of that junior, back home this semester, having all his frat buddies sing this to him alllllll day.
