"Shoes" is the debut single by comedian Liam Kyle Sullivan, under his female Kelly character. It was released for digital download sometime in 2006, but it is unknown when. The song has become popular in pop culture, and has been performed live many times. It also made Sullivan an icon in pop culture. Kelly appears in VH1's I Hate My 30's, as well as being in Weezer's video for "Pork and Beans". The song also won the 2008 People's Choice Award for "Best User Generated Video". It is also Kelly's biggest hit to date.
The music video was released along with the song on Liam Kyle Sullivan's official YouTube account. The song became an instant hit on the internet, and has been viewed over 57,000,000 times on Sullivan's YouTube account alone.
The video starts out with Kelly (Sullivan), along with her mother (Pam Cook), father (Sullivan), and twin brother (Sullivan). It is the twins' birthday, and they are about to open their presents. Her brother goes first, and gets a new computer and a car. Kelly's present turns out to be a large, purple stuffed dinosaur with a goofy grin. After arguing with the family for a few moments, Kelly turns to leave. When asked where she's going, she replies "I'm going to get what I want." Her father, obviously knowing what that is, says, "Christ". After this, the video consist of Kelly singing the song while going to various shoe stores with her friends. At four shoe stores, the clerks tells Kelly she has too many shoes, to whom she pushes one of them down and steps on his face. There are also scenes in which she is singing with a microphone. The video shows a party going on outside and scenes of two girls dancing with a ring of fire. At the end, the girl with the ring of fire blows it out.
Shoes is the debut album by Kelly. It features electroclash backbeats and comedic lyrics. It was released on June 21, 2006. Six of the songs—the first six tracks—were made into music videos; however, only four were released as actual singles. In June 2009, it became available for purchase on CD at Amazon.com. It is also available as a ringtone album.
Only the first seven tracks are original songs; the rest are remixes, alternate versions or radio edits (which remove profanity). The "Canadian edit" of "What R U Guys Talking About?" is identical to the original track, but contains a stereotypical Canadian accent pronunciation of "about".

Season eight of Stargate SG-1, an American-Canadian military science fiction television series, began airing on July 9, 2004 on the Sci Fi channel. The eighth season concluded on February 22, 2005, after 20 episodes on British Sky One, which overtook the Sci Fi Channel in mid-season. This was the first season of the show to have 20 episodes instead of 22, as well as the first to air concurrently with Stargate SG-1 spinoff series Stargate Atlantis (the first season thereof). The series was originally developed by Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner, while Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper served as executive producers. Season eight regular cast members include Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, and Michael Shanks. The eighth season begins with the SG-1 team trying to revive Colonel Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) after the events of the seventh season. At the end of the two-episode season opener, Colonel O'Neill is promoted to General and assumes command of Stargate Command (SGC), while Major Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) is promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and assumes command of SG-1. The season arc centers on the growing threat and seemingly final defeat of the Goa'uld and the Replicators, races who were introduced in the first and third season of the show, respectively.
"(Do You Wanna Date My) Avatar" is a 2009 song created and performed by the cast of the web series The Guild, with lead vocals by singer-actress Felicia Day. The lyrics were written by Day and the music was written by musical composer Jed Whedon, who also directed the music video.
When interviewed at San Diego Comic-Con, Day attributed her inspiration for the song to 1980s and 1990s-style dance music. She conveyed an obsession with Stacey Q's "Two of Hearts" in particular, which is apparent with Day including a familiar "come on, come on" in the lyrics. The song includes a rap portion performed by Guild co-stars Jeff Lewis and Sandeep Parikh.
While Day composed the lyrics herself, whilst listening to "really bad 1990s dance songs", she turned to screenwriter Jed Whedon (with whom she had worked on internet musical Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog and TV series Dollhouse) to compose the music. Whedon and his wife Maurissa Tancharoen are credited as backup singers on the video, and Tancharoen also contributes her talent as a back-up dancer; this was the first time Whedon (who also directed the video) had seen her dance.

Time to play - get out of your head
Time do die - my cruelty will make you dead
Show your fear, don't escape into madness
Your rotting gutted body
Shall vanish in the maze of death
An ablazing usurper's dream
Blasphemy to idols made in stone
Throne of might and its unsen lord
Stars waned by the fright of him
Shining lewels in his crown
Like drops of my sacrifical blood
Ceremony of the abhorrent deaths
Words too insane to tell
Chaos...
The pentagramic rule
Of the frigid existence
Distainful temptation
Of an absurd resistance
Mindless decaying eyes of the dead
Observe the world with fear
Staring at the crown of limitles domination
Dementias perverse lust and will
To see my master as triumph you
Extreme of my coldful force
To bring his enemies down on their knees
Cruel, irresponible widsom
Purity of duration in fear
Chaotic experiences of my mind
Becoming now to be distinct
