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.)

Walter Bean: I want an FSM cake!
The first one is perfect for clown week, as that technicolor poo could have only been deposited by a clown...
I can see the creativity in the comet bird/fish, though it is odd. But the extra cupcakes with the leaves and the little eyes are really weird! What are those supposed to be? And WHY!!!!
For the first one, considering the rainbow colouring and the swirl, isn't it a pile of unicorn poo?
I love them. The look fun, cheerful,n personal and made with love. Something a lot of those posh pretty cakes don't have.
If it were my birthday I'd love one of these over one of those bakery ones. At least somebody cared more about me than just to buy me stuff
WHERE IS THE VIDEO
I was thinking the first one might be what happens when you follow the skittles commercial and actually taste the rainbow.
Was the video removed? I don't see any video in the post.
darn! sound didn't work on my computer.
Loved the video! I really do have to stop reading the comments, though- the amount of people who just don't get it makes me way too depressed.
Fantastic post! Impressive singing voices and irony all rolled into a Cake blog. Oh happy days... I can't believe you didn't crack up after the phone call (or was it edited out?). Just fantastic!

I think this has to be my favorite CW post ever. I'm going to be singing "donkey tank surprise" all day. Love it...all of it.
And I almost cry laughed when she got off the phone.
And your voices....like the wingbeats of angels wafting joy down to us in envelopes of warm melted butter.
On the last picture...My son: It's a gingerbread man! My daughter: With muscles??
I think the orange one is the weight watchers hungry monster

First one is unicorn poop cake from hothead game's deathspank.

I think the orange furry one is the weight-watchers "hungry" thing.
That first one looks like someone's fed food dye to their dog.
Number 3 is the flying spaghetti monster... I think.
I think when Jen says "her dog died" I have never been more surprised. Brilliant!
Hate to be picky, but ya already showed #2 in post "I'll have what they're having"
Apart from that, awesome post!!!!
God, this blog is http://www.petsfunky.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/too-funny-lol-cat.JPG" rel="nofollow">TOO FUNNY!!!
OMG, I just realised, on the picture whoever made it splet "too" wrong!! Ah well, cake-wrecks tribute.
My daughter and I were just looking at these, and the mangled duck looking thing made her respond like such, "I love chipmunks mommy!!!...they are so cute!!!..." I have been laughing so hard ever since.
This just made my day =^.^=
#7 reminds me rather of a somewhat deformed and mysteriously red Dalek.
I must say I did the sing-a-long! It was an awesome song! :D I had to sing loud enough for my 3 year to help out! haha
I wonder- does anyone here have ANY guesses for that last one?
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for restoring my faith in the human race. So happy now I might even pay attention to my children.
Oh my gosh, that first cake had me cracking up!
Best Post Ever. =D
I must say....poor, poor Sean. What in god's name did he do to deserve that cake???? Does anyone know what it's supposed to be?
And Carrie...poor, girl. Poop cake with a swirl.
wv "rumpra" --quite appropriate for today's wrecks...or should I say "pooh-wrecks"
I can always count on yall to make my eyes fill with tears of laughter every single day. LOVE IT
I sincerely appreciate that John started, ala Kristen Chenowith, with the song "Popular" from "Wicked".
Classic post today. Classic.
first and last picture: 'crapping a rainbow'
cracked up at the video!! i think it was especially awesome because john was singing popular at the beginning
Hilarious video! Is it just me, or is the phone call taken from a scene in Devil Wears Prada? And "#1"'s singing voice sounds suspiciously like Ann Hathaway...hmmm
the first one is unicorn poop : )
Amazing. I didnt think I could laugh any harder, until the song. My abdomen hurts.
:) the first one is unicornpoop.com. No I am not joking.
I love the really small gap between saying "her dog died" then launching straight back into the crazy song, hilarious timing!
england.
You are HILARIOUS!!!!! Great video! Thanks for the laughs ;)
-Jane Reyes
Haha!!
I loved the little Wicked intro to the video... It made me think that you all get to hang out singing songs from musicals, looking at hilariously terrible cakes, and making up silly songs.
I tip my hat to the three of you!
and now the song is stuck in my head.. something like the orange thing was trying to escape a tupperware container in my fridge last time i peered in there...
oh my dear lord! That video was GREAT! I keep thinking that first picture looks like raindow unicorn poop...... lmao I LOVE THIS BLOG!

The first cake looks like the unicorn poo you need to collect in a video game called DeathSpank! its hilarious.
I know have that song stuck in my head, so well done :p

The orange one with the "tentacles" is the Flying Spaghetti Monster... Google it :D
Pic number one: "can YOU poop rainbows? I didn't think so!"
