Between this guy and Mark Gormley, 2009 is shaping up to be the year of the likable middle-aged man on YouTube. An awesome tipster just found this video of a guy named Bert Griffin singing “Rihanna’s Song (Bitch Slappin’ Brown),” his song defending Rihanna’s honor against her alleged attacker, Chris Brown. The chorus starts at 1:21, and is awesome:
Stereotype-wise, he looks like the last person who would rush musically to Rihanna’s defense, and that’s why it’s great! The world needs more people like Bert Griffin. Mr. Griffin has many more as-yet-unseen-by-the-internet videos on his YouTube channel, BertGriffin88, including another Rihanna song, “So The Psycho Took Her Life,” that imagines the likely consequences if Rihanna takes Chris Brown back. So, internet, let’s give our love to people like Bert Griffin instead of Chris Brown-enabling cowards like, say, I don’t know: Diddy. (Thanks so much to tipster Brian for this awesome find.)

bitch slappin’,
fist brandin’,
face poundin’ good times.
i like how the first act recounts what happened blow-by-blow (sorry
) and the second movement rebukes it. very dynamic composition.
Well, exactly. That’s what makes this just some lonely man’s perverse reliving (or fantasizing about) the situation. Boo.
Aw, I love Bert. He needs to be famous-on-the-internet. He clearly wants people to watch his videos, since he listed everyone from George Clooney to Martina McBride in his video tags.
someone tell him that everyone loves him, and his video will soon be famous.
Bert Griffin is the new Fleet Foxes.
Too far.
let’s please not forget about pole dancing older guy and the old guy who runs cat town and builds them little cat buildings and stuff. because they are part of The Year of the Golden Old Guy, too.
