Grown Men Singing Lady Gaga

By 6000 | 6000 | October 4, 2011

Seriously – from Facebook via Mrs 6000: Yes, I am aware that this isn’t new (like 7.5 million YouTube hits old), but thanks to my Google Chrome Lady Gaga filter, it’s new to me. Sadly, Mrs 6000′s laptop still runs IE8 and so this made it through to her with no issue. She then shared it with [...]
