“GURL I’M ADDICTED, I’M GONNA HAVE TO GIVE YOU UP FOR LENT”

His name is Tom O’ Connor. This tune seems to a cover of Dizzy D’s ‘How I Feel Bout Ya’ (listen here in the songs), “apparently” an Irish hip-hop classic. This version is about 1001% better though as it’s autotuned beyond belief and the video is a reminder of why we shouldn’t put photos on the internet.

Update: To clarify, Tom O’ Connor didn’t upload this video. Someone else did as a joke. The tune is really from Dizzy D though.

Don’t give up the day job (video number 1 below) Tom aka Mr. Hip-Hop. Seriously, see after the jump. Thanks to the Rubberbandits for the tip.

  • blackhawk

    when “Mr. HipHop” was talking about the turks head having teh most gorgeous girls, i was just wondering was he the girl that looks like she washed herself with squeeze orange juice, or the fat bird in the blue dress that was showing everyone the “junk” that is her massive trunk

    That tune is the original. Entirely made by Dizzy D. Tom O C didn’t change the track.

    it does have me pissing myself however , they better give me my cut of the royalties or I’m going to be mad :D :D

    REEEEEEMIIIXXXX!!!!

    It’s called Remix but I don’t think there’s any original version that I know of.

    If we’re still on the Rubberbandits style comedy tip I recommend checking out Dr. Feekenstein and Grandmaster Cash. One of my friends showed me the videos last night and I nearly died laughing.

    Tom, so you didn’t do the track but you’re saying someone else by the name of Tom O Connor uploaded it with your photos?

    that’s a bit far-fetched like…

  • Tom O’C

    As I said I have notting to do with the “music” video however I do find it quite amusing.

    I always found this to be a comprehensive blog and supported it when it was nominated for various awards.

    But considering your now using it to construct a hate campaign against me (not too sure why) my option has changed about nailler9.

    I do however wish you the very best in your future endeavours
    Have a wonderfull day.

    Tom

    • John

      “mr hip hop” hahahah

      go up to harlem or the lower bronx and start calling yourself mr hip hop, see how far you get

  • http://www.nialler9.com Niall

    hate campaign???

    It’s a funny campaign dude!

    And you still didn’t answer the question.

  • http://www.adamlacey.blogspot.com adam

    This is the best thing I’ve ever seen. All of these are my favourite videos now.The singing sounds like someone created a robot cat and then proceeded to strangle it. Anda damn you,nailler9 and your hate campaign hahaha.’I get dem shiiiiiivvvvvvvers’

  • Gazzned

    Tom, it’s a terrible song so forget about trying to invent a hate campaign and own up to it!
    And who cares what you supported? This blog would be here with or without your support, you’re insignificant.
    Have you been ringing anybody’s bosses lately Tom, you might want to get back to that, you clown.

  • myth

    tomo c , even if you didnt do the (and i say it lightly) music ,the song is perfect for you ,you actually put those ridiculous pictures of yourself on bebo….what a botard :),you could have at least worked out or something , i especailly like you sporting the water pistol ,very gangsta.

    think ill go down the turks head this weekend to pay my respects to mr hip hop befor someone shoots him and we loose another legend lol

  • Tommo

    you gave been mentioned on reddit in the comments about this vid

  • Sherra

    This is dizzy ds song not toms. It hit irishhiphop.com with a bang last year. Someone put it on youtube with pics of tom as a joke. Quite possibly someone with a strange obsession with tom. Shapey the original is on dizzys bebo page and this is the auto tune remix he did.

      “the auto tune remix”

      Words that should be banned forever

  • JohnzyJay

    Here’s the original video from Christmas 2008. Featuring the one and only Potato Lady (my Mom)…

  • Bren

    Johnzy’s Mom ftw!

    • JohnzyJay

      The mother’s in bits.
      She feels robbed by all this ‘ish.
      She thinks Tom’s stealing her shine.
      Beef?…. Possibly!

  • JohnzyJay

    Nobody mentioned the interview from a few weeks back with the genius behind this masterpiece.

  • fenster

    careful now Niall, if you irk Tom the wrong way he may be forced to track down you ip address, ring up your boss – if you had one – and complain that you were using the company computer to call him names on the internet. not that anyone would be so petty to try something like that, would they?

  • Monto

    Still think the original with Johnzy’s mam is the Victor. Nialler you have to upload that one aswell!

    • JohnzyJay

      There’s a guy who knows what he’s talking about!

    Check it. Somebody’s already done a cover version:

    those pictures and that music works so well together.. both as silly as each other.
    biggup Dizzy D on making possibly the worst irish hip hop song since spiral ‘i’ll do anything to you’!
    i wanna hear a lil jon / dubstep remix…
    DO IT

  • cian

    tom speaks the truth.
    it’s a dizzy original.

    but seeing as both dizzy and tom o c are big fat jokes of hip hop fans / artists in ireland they’ve been thrown together. they’ve both attracted meme-like status. now if someone can only get The Assasin in there too….

  • dar

    hahaha, that video shows what a cunt tom is, suits him perfectly, someone should make a website that all of databackup’s clients could see showing the pics of him with a water pistol + all the other rediculous pics he has on bebo.

    that’d be pay back for him trying to get someone fired

    TOM IS A CUNT

  • http://www.drop-d.ie Nay

    Haahaa, gas. If only every silly fool like Tom had such a kind benefactors…the song is lolzy but the dude lampoons himself with those manky photos. Squeez orange juice indeed hah!

  • Cov

    This is brilliant. I keep giggling to myself whilst thinking about his whole situation. How does someone end up like this, or do these kind of things.

    This is a happy day!

  • http://www.egoeccentric.blogspot.com Evil_bob

    hahahahahahaha
    Databackup.ie are probably going to be getting a lot of dodgy phone calls.

  • jahova

    Haha, we should phone up databackup.ie and ask questions using auto-tune.

    HEeeEeELoooOoo hOw mUuuuCh is youR baAAAACKuuuUp plan.

  • LOL

    Hey Tom,

    If I were you I’d find out who put up that video and ring their boss…..

    mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!11

  • http://www.onavery.blogspot.com Darragh

    Ahh lads I only saw this now…oh fuck I just ruptured an internal organ laughing. I sincerely thought if the recession did one good thing it obliterated freaks like this. I was wrong it seems.

    Tom, I suggest you should have administrated yourself some personality solutions and touched base with your music teacher before putting that autotuned clusterfuck of a song on youtube. Moving forward, I’d say your best strategy might be a massive rebranding of your product.
