One Pound Fish - Music Head - 03-01-2013
Lord help us
hasn't got here yet
please stay away
from npr
Hereâs the story: Shahaid Nazir, 31, was selling fish at Londonâs Queenâs Market. His boss told him he had to bark out slogans to get customers, something he was reluctant to do. He wanted to keep his job, however, so he came up with âCome on Ladies, Come on Ladies, One Pound Fishâ, meaning that for one British pound sterling youâd get some nice fish. He received what he felt was divine inspiration to not just yell out the verse but to sing it, and eventually his customers liked his song so much they wouldnât buy his fish unless he sang the song. A freelance web designer filmed the song and put it up on youtube.
The rest is history. Now heâs famous in both England and Pakistan. And the rest of Europe too. The world catching up fast. Returning to Pakistan to meet with his wife and children, he was mobbed at the airport. He has a contract with Warner Brothers. In the first week he got more than 50,000 hits on youtube.com. At this writing he has over 11 million hits.
Psy, youâve got competition!
so they turned this:

Another example of the phenomenal power of YouTube! I'm wondering what the actual statistics are regarding how many established artists with recording contracts have been initially exposed to the world on YouTube? This is one of the reasons why there are so many artists out there today...such an overwhelming amount that we'll never hear most of them...lol...:music:
