Sorry, Hanson's brilliant "Blues Brothers"-inspired "Thinking 'Bout Somethin'," but I have a new favorite music video. Ke$ha recently uploaded the visual accompaniment to her "Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier," and there are so, so many things to like about it! I will tell you about them!

The glitter princess chose to sit this video out and instead enlist the help of a couple senior citizens, Pedro from "Napoleon Dynamite," and a gaggle of drag queens. They all come together to lip-synch verses from T.I., Lil Wayne, Andre 3000 and Wiz Khalifa, while a large African-American man with a mohawk won the prized role of Ke$ha. I know, you already like the video and you haven't even seen it.

There isn't too much rhyme or reason to what's going on in "Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier," but it's not like you need it -- there's just something about an old man playing chess in a park and ABSOLUTELY SLAYING T.I.'s verse that really makes our hearts flutter. I mean, when's the last time you saw a 65-year-old in a wheelchair mouthing the words "Bitch, my swagger supernatural/Get you pregnant lookin' at you"? (Hopefully never.)

In between putting hairy men's beards in her mouth, Ke$ha somehow found the time to befriend every rapper ever and ask them to appear on a remix of her 2010 hit "Sleazy." In "Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier," Ke$ha balls out with Wiz Khalifa, T.I., Andre 3000 and Lil Wayne, who take over most of the song while Ke$ha holds strong on the original hook: "I don't need you or your brand-new Benz/Or your bougey friends."

First up is Wiz who uses his verse to pay homage to his woman and all the expensive ish he can afford to buy her: "I got a wifey at home/And what she wants she could have it." Wiz passes the baton to Andre 3000, who, in his signature speedy flow, walks us down memory lane: "We start out so cute/In our baby pictures/That mama shot for our daddy so he wouldn't forget you." Tip follows suit, and uses his time to make sure the world knows he's a master in the bedroom: "My demeanor is so special/And this d*** is so impressive." Moving on... Lil Wayne brings us home and rhymes over thudding drums: "I'm financially straight/Like a line/I ain't lying." You wear diamonds in your teeth, Weezy, so it's not like we thought you were going bankrupt or anything.

While we're not sure what all the different verses have to do with one another or why this remix is considered "sleazier," we are sure that Ke$ha's Rolodex is stacked, and may possibly rival that of cover queen and BFF to the stars Taylor Swift. Duke it out girls, and let us know who comes out on top.

You and I both know that nobody would have ever predicted that the same dude who head-banged his way though "Bawitdaba" would later come out with a pro-social ballad called "Care." But Kid Rock has momentarily suspended his inner bad-ass and released a truly moving song that speaks on his commitment to helping those in need: "I can't stop the war/Shelter homeless/Feed the poor/I can't walk on water/I can't save your sons and daughters/Well, I can't change the world and make things fair/The least that I can do is care."

In the beautifully shot black-and-white video, Kid is pictured amongst those in need: a mother who can't feed her child, a homeless man without shelter, and a little one who needs some extra TLC. Angaleena Presley joins him as Kid Rock strums his guitar and the duo sing in harmony: "I pray for life's salvation/Faith is tried and true in tribulation." T.I.'s the last to join in and though he looks somber, he infuses his rhymes with positivity: "And your future way brighter than your present/Quit stressin'." At the end of the video, the serious mood turns lighter as those in need finally receive the help they deserve.

Not only can Kid Rock throw down in the vocal department, but he just might be the perfect dude -- a total bad-ass on the outside, and big old pile of charitable mush on the inside.

Taylor Swift has like, the most well-stocked celebrity Rolodex EVER. During almost every stop on her "Speak Now" tour, Taylor makes it a point to call upon a celeb friend native to the city she's currently touring to help her do a cover. In Chicago, Taylor covered "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" by Fall Out Boy, in Detroit she tackled Eminem's "Lose Yourself," and (though it was sans Britney Spears) Taylor put her own spin on "Lucky" while on her stopover in Louisiana.

But Taylor's two most recent covers may be her most high-profile yet! While in Atlanta, Taylor called upon T.I. to help her cover his smash collabo with Rihanna, "Live Your Life." Decked in her signature lilac dress, a cute and confident Taylor started singing Rihanna's hook: "You're gonna be, a shining star/In fancy clothes, and fancy cars." Then, just as the audience realized what was about to go down, a super badass announcer style Taylor yelled "T.I.!!!" as the rapper took the stage to perform his swagged-out rhymes.

If doing a baller cover with T.I. wasn't enough to up this country cutie's street cred, then how about personally asking Usher to come on stage and help her perform a rendition of his dance jam "Yeah!"? Because that totally happened during Taylor's recent stop in A-Town! The duo got the audience ready for da club as Usher sang and Taylor took a stab at rapping Ludacris' verse. Tay was also gracious enough to invite Usher's two adorable sons on stage as well. We'd give anything to meet those mini-Ushers! Ugh, why do famous pop stars get to have all the fun?
