Hello Everyone...

Today's video is a contemporary tune with a very old sample as the most prominent and featured hook. You may have seen Passion Pit on Saturday Night Live last year, or on other late night talk shows as the band really blew up over the past year or so, with this most notable song.

It's called Sleepyhead, and it samples and borrows melodies from Mary O' Hara's song, �r� Mo Bh�id�n - which translates to Oh My Little Boat. It's heavily affected with some vocal effects, but it's pretty neat to see the melding of an old almost archaic song from the 70s.
