(Stephen's Never Had To) Knock On Wood (Stephen's Never Had To) Knock On Wood
Music: Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Knock On Wood"
DailyMotion | Download (.mpg, 40 MB)

Stephen isn't introspective; he doesn't second-guess things; he's certainly never knocked wood. He's not malicious, just blithely unaware of other people's pain, even when he's causing it. (And yet, this is a very energetic song.)

The Jon All The Bad Guys Want The Jon All The Bad Guys Want
Music: Bowling for Soup, "The Girl All The Bad Guys Want"
DailyMotion | Download (.mpg, 49 MB)

My first video turned out to be, for all its bouncy perkiness, a serious character study. This one is about as un-serious as you can get. In short: Stephen fails miserably trying to get the girl all the bad guys want. Jon is the girl all the bad guys want.

I'll Tumble With You I'll Tumble With You
Music: Culture Club, "I'll Tumble 4 Ya"
DailyMotion | Download (.mpg, 40 MB)

Half of Culture Club's oeuvre was written about the lead singer's problems with his boyfriend. This song is rather harder to interpret. But we do at least know that it's about tumbling, which makes for a bouncy Stephen/Tad vid.

Defender of Marriage Defender of Marriage
Music: Roy Zimmerman, "Defender of Marriage"
DailyMotion | YouTube | Download (.wmv, 22 MB)

A brief rant by Stephen on the immorality, immodesty, and ick factor of same-sex marriage.

In The Beginning There Was The Word In The Beginning There Was The Wørd
Music: David Phelps, "The End of the Beginning"
DailyMotion | Download (.wmv, 49 MB)
This vid is the illegitimate child of This Week In God and Even Stepvhen, raised from infancy in a convent of Jonist nuns.

It is, despite the music, not Christian and probably blasphemous.

I make a lot of these. The premise of each is the same: "Doesn't this look like a cool idea? Go read the story!"

Fanmixes

Mister America Mister America
"Stephen Colbert" in song
I have dozens of songs that I want to put into mixes, so I figured I would start with something basic. This is a broad musical profile of Stephen. No story, just character analysis.

The Last Wørd The Last Wørd
Arrogant but well-intentioned, Stephen honestly believes that The Colbert Report can fix everything he thinks is wrong with the world. When the show gets cancelled and the world carries on, it'll break his heart.
(But that, too, will pass.)

West 54th Street Story West 54^th Street Story
A response to a challenge to create mixes entirely with songs from musicals.
This one started as a generic Stephen mix, and turned into an overview of the Great Pundit War of 2008: the epic battle between Stephen, Jon, and Conan over who created Mike Huckabee.

Tyrone Hunnibi (hypothetically) Tyrone Hunnibi (hypothetically)
A mix for Stephen's flamboyant gay partygoing druggie pornstar side.
Y'know, if he had one.
Which he totally doesn't.

Please Papa Bear Please Papa Bear
For the disturbing, tragicomic, and very Oedipal relationship between Stephen Colbert and "Papa Bear" Bill O'Reilly. The normally combative Stephen will bend over backwards in his fight to earn the affection of the man he loves and fears above all others.
As such, this is a pretty depressing mix.
