AUDIO: YODELING WALMART BOY
Monday was a pretty, pretty… pretty slow news day, so the internet went wild with this: Yodeling Walmart Boy. A YouTube video showed 10-year-old Mason Ramsey busting out a classic Hank Williams song, “I Got The Lovesick Blues”, while standing in what appears to be the home goods aisle at a Walmart in Harrisburg, Illinois. Mason was apparently placed there to sing by his grandparents. Online, the footage is a smash hit. The original tweet with the video, filmed March 24, has been retweeted more than 50,000 times. (Mason has several other YouTube videos out there as well.)

* And THAT, my friends, is how you get on the Ellen DeGeneres show.
* That reminds me – whatever happened to “Alex from Target”?
* He wouldn’t be doing this if Walmart were still selling guns.
* Don’t scoff – doing something like this can be a shortcut to fame. It’s the same way Dee Snider wound up in Twisted Sister.
* By the way, this message from Mason: “Suck it, American Idol.”
