Zeb Atlas’ Record Label Is Retarded

Instead of riding a wave of success and publicity that this never before heard of label has ever experienced (Zeb’s video has been on all the gay and pop culture blogs this week, including this one where it premiered on Monday), Night Dance posted the following in the “info” section accompanying the horrible, awful, cannot unsee, made-me-deaf/blind, yougottabefuckinkiddingme, worst video of all time ever:

Zeb and Pearly’s sizzling new version of the classic Diana Ross hit “Love Hangover” has gained even more attention and press coverage and gossip on the gay network since it was leaked on The Sword website on the 16th January without our knowledge.

Without our knowledge? The video did debut here, but it was not “leaked.” You’re a record company, but you don’t understand that if you don’t want your video to be seen, you shouldn’t put it on the internet? OK. After receiving a press release from Zeb’s manager that stated he had recorded a song called “Love Hangover,” I Googled the words “Zeb Atlas” and “Love Hangover,” and there it was, complete with an embed code! If it was leaked, it leaked on another website; I simply copied and pasted.

The intention of this project (and Zeb will agree with this) is not to proclaim to the world that he is a singer…

You’re shitting me.

…but to create a product that fans will enjoy visually as well as musically by ensuring that Zeb is aiming to be nothing but himself. So, you queens out there, please refrain from making any bitchy comments and just sit back, chill and enjoy Zeb and if you want to see more future dance productions with Zeb, please support us by spending just 99p on downloading the track from iTunes where the single is expected to be released in February ’11.

Don’t make fun of our video and please give us money. Ha ha, no. Why not let the video be the nightmare that it is and enjoy the attention? People love things that are so bad they end up being good, and “Love Hangover” is a perfect example of this. I’ve watched it at least 20 times this week because I hate it and it’s thoroughly entertaining. So stop with all the disclaimers and stop telling people how to react to something, please. Are you a record company or a soccer mom?

Being defensive about something (Leave Zeb alone! He knows he’s not a singer!) that even you know is objectively terrible is not the way to market your product! Thank goodness everyone else is doing the job for you.

Here’s the amazing trainwreck one more time:

  1. It’s such a car wrech, it’s like watching your drunken parents trying to dance at a wedding, or one of those home movie shows where you keep watching for the little kid to come out and hit him in the crotch. I kept waiting for the person who created this as an obvious punk to come out and say it.
    This video was definitely made for radio, because no one should have to watch THAT.

  2. As someone who works in radio, you don’t see often a gay porn star turn straight singer. I say straight because, well they could of got any other guy to sing the girls part easy.

    MESSAGE TO RECORD COMPANY:
    Fire who ever put this together, and hire a TRUE gay. If you do this again, and I kinda hope you don’t, that you use the main person in the song Zeb’s main telant.
    He is a PORN STAR. An ok one at that, but use it. Have him making (soft) love to a MAN!

    No need for a chick.

    Feel free to contact me. Would love to speak to the record company and really put them in the right direction.

  3. This is pure & utter genius…..
    Although I can’t decide which is the best part –
    Zeb’s retarded come hither looks at the camera delivered while moving awkwardedly & off-beat
    The painful choreography inspired by any one of the “California Gays” video’s ( and I use that term loosely)
    The dazzling special effects – fire burst, streaming smoke (which looks like someone just off camera is exhaling after hitting the pipe – jeremy jordan?)
    Or the fabulous set design – a purple bedroom only Bobby Trendy could love, an empty apt building hallway – i could go on & on…..

  4. LMAO, wow! What is up with those cheesey looks he’s giving the camera? He’s totally hamming it up. Hilarious! Looks hot in a shirt and tie though, and those guns!! Is stubhub selling tickets to that show?

  5. what a mother fuckin disaster…with a crooked smile, trying to be all butch but Zeb looks looks nothing like more than a fashionista biatch himself…who is so self indulged in the video. video should be title “desperatly trying zeb to be cool and making a total bitch of himself”.

  6. Sooo…. I really thought this was an SNL skit, actually I’m still kind of thinking it is….. Maybe a MadTV skit….

    Made me laugh quite a bit, and for that I say thank you.

  7. Okay lets be fair for a minute:

    Pearly has a nice voice. However, Zeb needs to get with the times and autotune that voice of his if he wants to be the next ke$ha.

  8. You watched it 20 times this week Zach? Are your ears not bleeding yet. Sorry Zeb but this song certainly doesn’t measure up to Jeff Stryker’s classic POP YOU IN THE POOPER. Christ not even autotune could save this one.

  9. I have not seen this.
    I still have not seen this.
    So, I will refrain not only from making bitchy comments but also from spending 99 cents on the download or even clicking the “play” button.
    First because I didn’t want to, but now cuz I’m not liking the record company. Ya’ll get nothing!

    NYAH!

  10. What is unforgivable is looking at the pics and thinking he must be awful but that black woman must have a EVERYBODY DANCE NOW booming big voice to carry the song. Well she does not.
