This guy is not only ridiculously beautiful, but he’s also a genuine geek AND his music is so awesome.

At first, there was Boten Anna, a song he made about a bot called Anna over at IRC. I technically grew up on IRC, so it’s only natural for me to appreciate the geekiness of the Basshunter phenomena. Here’s the original video, he sings in Swedish but there are English subtitles:

This song was among my brother’s collection and for the longest time I was in love with it. You can see in the comments section of the video that some people don’t know what a bot is, well, what can I say? n00bs! Basshunter released the song in English under the title Now You’re Gone. I am sure you’re all familiar with it:

Then there is DotA which was another of his early super-hits, it’s about a computer game. Here’s the original video of that one:

And the new video is:

How awesome, no? You can actually see how Basshunter kinda grows in these videos if you compare the old with the new. Not only do the videos improve technically, but he improves as well and he seems to be more into it. I am deeply in love with this guy’s style, and now I want to learn Swedish!* Maybe Rami can help with that.

*OK. I am a nerd but his is really good music.

Jongar, in case you do not know, is an anime character sort of like iron man in a show called Astroganga. The word itself, Jongar, is nowadays used in Jordan among the young to mean “cool, strong, or good at something.” It’s sort of like 7areega back in the day.

Jongar is identical to Ebichu, the famous anime hamster who keeps the house for her mistress. The only real difference between Jongar and Ebichu is that Jongar does not talk or do household chores, and he is male. He also did not have his own show, up until now.

My brother got a hamster too, and called him Hazza3. In the following video which I created tonight, conveniently titled Jongar and Hazza3: The Wheel is Mine, Bitch!, you will see the two fighting over the wheel until they learn how to share. The choice of music is not that perplexing if you know that my brother and I think that our hamsters are gay and have a thing for each other, which would explain why they use the wheel at the same time…and other things as well.

I absolutely love this song to bits. But you, if you don’t like funny/dirty songs, don’t click play.
