Fabulous Secret Powers - Musik

A Mash-Up Of The Early-’80s Superhero And His Fantastical Friends And Enemies Performing A Dance Version Of 4 Non Blondes’ Early-’90s Hit “What’s Up ” The Video And Song Arrangement Were Created By SLACKCiRCUS A Fort Worth Production Company Co-Founded By Jay Allen And Ryan Haines. Inspired By Eric Fensler’s Outrageous G.I. Joe PSAs Allen And Haines Simply Thought The Video And Song Would Make A Few Of Their Friends Laugh Allen Said. But A Couple Of Years After SLACKCiRCUS Posted “Fabulous Secret Powers” To The Something Awful Forums In 2005 YouTube User Dkilzer2000 Posted It To His Channel. As Of This Writing Dkilzer2000’s Post Has Received More Than Two Million Views. An Abbreviated Version Of The Video That Another User ProtoOfSnagem Posted On YouTube In 2010 Has Received Nearly 40 Million Views. SLACKCiRCUS Didn’t Create “Fabulous Secret Powers” To Make Money Allen Said. “Classic Media Inc. Owns All The Rights To The He-Man Footage So Nobody Can Make Money Directly From This Video Except Them ” Allen Said In A Statement. But In 2007 The Video Brought SLACKCiRCUS In Contact With A Major Video Game Developer. “They Asked Us If We’d Be Interested In Doing Some Original Animation For Their Game ” Allen Said. “Fast Forward Two Years And We’d Both Quit Our Salaried Jobs To Do SLACKCiRCUS Full Time Creating Trailers And Specialized Animation For Video Game Clients. So I Owe My Current Career To That Video.” Allen Has Personal Reasons For Releasing The Song Now. “Ironically It’d Been A Long Time Since I’d Done Any Fun Creative Side Projects Being Wrapped Up In Client Work And The Demands Of Running A Business ” He Said. “This Is A Long Way Of Telling You That Releasing This Song Was About Jolting Myself Out Of A Long Creative Slump.” He Feels Liberated. “People Have Asked For This Song In Downloadable Form For Years And I Avoided It For A Number Of Reasons Primarily Fear ” He Said. “When You Throw Something Out Into The World And It Gets Unexpectedly Popular There’s A Fear You’re Not Capable Of Doing Anything Like That Ever Again. Now That The Song Is Out There I Feel Like I Can Move On And Hopefully Make More Stuff That Makes People Happy.” read less
