What's This?
August 4, 2010 Earlier today John had the song "What's This?" from Nightmare Before Christmas stuck in his head.
After looking at these Wrecks, now *I* do.
There's color everywhere
There's white things in the air
What's this?
It's orange and so hairy - what's the deal with those two berries? I don't care!
What's this?
[bumpahbumpahbumpabumpabumpabBUM]
What's this? What's this?
I can't believe my eyes,
What's this?
A donkey tank surprise?
What's this? A swirly mass so curly, could the purple be too girly? Should this song be ending early? No we're going 'til we hurl-y!!
Could it be, oh could it be? Did I get my wish?
Here's something that makes sense: a meteorite bird fiiiish!
What's this?
[dumpadumpadumpadumpbaBUM]
[wheeyouwheeyouwheeyouwhee...]
What's this? What's this? There's something very wrong!
What's this? That blue thing's really long.
What's this?
It's positively crappy, and yet I feel so happy, have I possibly gone sappy? I think I need a nappy 'cuz this song is kind of rappy so I guess I'll get a frappey and go shopping at the Gappy...
WHAT.
IS.
THIS?!?
S.K., Patrick T., Chris E., Reagan B., Rebekah W., Austin L., Alex S., Kaylyn M., & Mikaela, your guess is as good as mine.
Oh, and for your continued "enjoyment" I have a special treat today: while we were writing this post, John & #1 (aka "the other Jen") kept singing it to get the cadence right. This...got really entertaining.
So, I decided to tape them.
"Enjoy!"
(If you're wondering what my contribution is here, I'm the one doing the scrolling. And giggling.)

More videos!! That was awesome!
I read your blog all the time but do not usually comment but the video today had me rolling on the floor!! I might have to watch it a few more times today!
Love how John was singing 'Popular' at the beginning, lol.
Great as always.
Cake Wrecks/Nightmare Before Christmas excellence!
What's this? My favorite post so far, I think!
oh my farking god.
These people obviously have access to primo "vitamin A."
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA - that was great, esp with John and #1!
I can't decide: Is this my favorite post ever? Or the Princess Bride one from a while back? Tough call. Video does give kudos to this one though. Very entertaining, and I have NO idea what those cakes are actually supposed to be...
WV: pistina - ummm... I'll pass on that one. Too many bathroom/princess jokes. Do you think that first cake was made by Pistina?
The 5th cake reminds me of the monster from Monsters, Inc. movie. The colors are spot on.
I vote to make Cake Wrecks: The Musical a regular feature.
LOL! freakin hysterical.
HILARIOUS!!! love it
Love the song! And for those who are sad about the dog...she was KIDDING. That's what makes it funny. :)
Loved the song - maybe it should be a weekly feature!
Awesome song! That was a hilarious post!! Thanks for making me laugh this morning!!!
BEST.POST.EVER.
Wow. Definitely my favorite post of ALL TIME. I am going to have that song in my head all day now.
And John, that is a killah David Attenborough impression.
that video is hilarious. you should do more entries like that. if for nothing more than my own selfish amusement.
Oh my god you guys are my favorites!!! Love the video. It had me laughing out loud at my desk...at work...now everyone thinks I'm crazy! Thanks Jen, John & #1 for helping to get my day off to a great start! :)
1st... awesome...
2nd... huh? "Her dog died" was not at all what I imagined that conversation was about.
3rd... "it's okay, we're doing something but its... dumb"
My world is so confused and yet so happy!
Great post. You need to do audio posts more often. Like the day we all were "hearing" Kerry Vincent or Sue from "Glee" reading your post.
Loving everyone's suggestions as to the meaning of the first poo pile. Loved the unicorns idea. Really loved the Care Bears idea. Rolling on the floor with the Anon 10:00am gay pride poo cake idea. Can't wait for more.
That was awesome! I love Nightmare Before Christmas so I was singing right along. CakeWrecks + Nightmare Before Christmas = Happiness and Joy!!!!!!!!1
Best Post Ever.
You win the internets for the day. *hand delivers it to you*
Wow,that's the funniest thing I've read/heard in ages! I'm currently sitting at my desk with coffee spurting out of my nose entertaining my coworkers with my geyser-like nostrils. Thanks Jen and John!

Awesome post! One of my favorites!
I laughed all the way through the wrecks, but it was the video at the end with the phone call ("That is CRAZY.") and the random conversaton about cargo pants and the imploring, yet firm request of "Guys, can we wrap this?" that really made my day.
Thank you, Jen, John, and Other Jen.
LOVED this! Quite possibly your most entertaining post...John & #1 have really good singing voices. Oh, and is it just me, or did #1 sound a little excited on the first phone call that the caller's dog had died? Very strange.
Excellent! I LOVE the phone call. LMAO
omg:) i was dying and on the phone with my brother.. he's like "what the heck!!" and i replied.. Cakewrecks.com.. go to it.. He's a BIG Nightmare b4 christmas fan:)
I love how John was singing Popular from Wicked before the Nightmare before Christmas song started....
It's like being in musical heaven
Obviously #1 is what happens if you eat to much Kaboom cereal.
Oh my goodness! The video made it all perfect! Thank you for helping each day (except Saturdays! :) start with a smile! Sooooo funny!
Shelley in So. Illinois
I laughed so hard watching the video, my stomach hurts now... can I invoice you for that? ;)
Hilarious! Thanks for the laughs!
SO funny! I thought the third from the end looked like it was covered with dill! And the song was awesome! You made my day!
I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats.
BWAHAHAHAHAAAA... [long breath]
BWAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA.
the video just made my day!! perfection.
you guys are my morning laugh and you never disappoint. thanks so much for this site.
kiss. kiss. [european style]
The cargo pants interruption was hilarious! Sounds alot like my conversations.
the first one was done really nicely, then the rainbow came and pooped on it.
Being a huge nightmare before Christmas fan this just made my day! I'm going to be humming that song all day!
I need to know what CCC number 8 is. It's making me crazy! AAAAAHHH!
loved the song!!!! lol... and that you recorded through the distractions! awesome!!
I thought the blue one with purple looked more like a whale folding himself in half. But who laughs and says thats great when someones dog dies? Other than that I was LOL!
HILARIOUS! I especially love the phone calls! (Were those staged?)
bet this one goes viral---
"her dog died" ??!!
beautiful voices. wow
OK, I must be the only regular reader who has NOT seen Nightmare Before Christmas. And I think I must immediately rectify that!
For anyone who has children, or dogs, that first cake should look familiar.
wv: muslei. Eat muslei every morning and you will poop rainbows!
FAVORITE.
holy carp? That's my answer for all of 'em....BTW, loved the swirling poop rainbow.
The FUNNIEST post EVER!!
Oh my gosh--you people crack me up! The wrecks were soooooooo bad!!!!! But the post got even better with the singing, and the phone call interruption, and the witty banter. You must love your job! :)
Yep. That song is effectively stuck in mah head now.
And I just found out that it's no longer playable on Netflix so now I can't even watch it. Booo!
But hysterical post and video. Too cute!
