For those who enjoy cheesy techno music and movie and television montages but are too busy to open up two separate windows, check out Ricardo Autobahn's 'The Golden Age of Video' below. It appropriates and mixes dialogue from everything from 'The Big Lebowski' to 'The Shining' to 'Sesame Street' over a beat last heard at a Brussels discotheque to create an entirely new song.

Using classic lines from 'Ghostbusters' and 'Freaks' for the quasi-hook, the video proves, yet again, that everything ever created will, at some point, be re-contextualized for future use by clever Internet geeks.

Call it the 21st century update of the 1980s cut-and-paste hip-hop audio montage "The Lessons," by Double Dee & Steinski, or the logical extension to countless video mash-ups found after midnight on your local public access station (Concrete TV, we miss you).

With technology no longer a barrier to those once daunted by the idea of video editing, it's the paradoxical use of nostalgic footage to forward the creative endeavor that will define short films like the one below. Kudos to Autobahn for diggin' in the crates and actually rhyming most of the lyrics, even if the damn song is catchy enough to make us stab our eardrums with pencils.
