I Thought Les Miserables Was OK
In related news, somebody made a fun Les Mis song parody.
I love a good song parody, and this one is by Shrimp Burritos, I think. Directed by a guy named Tyler Hamman.
But while we’re on the subject, I thought the Les Miserables movie was OK. It wasn’t as good as the Liam Neeson, spoken-word version from a few years ago. I think the singing was my main problem with it. Everybody sang every single line, and at certain points that sounded ridiculous. I understand that the stage musical is completely sung as well, but it just sounded stupid when they sang simple lines of exposition that would have worked so much better if they were spoken.
Maybe what Les Mis really needs is a half-spoken, half-singing version. Sing the really good songs and then speak the various lines in between. Somebody start making that.
Plus the whole time I was watching the film, I just kept thinking of Les Miseranimals from Rita and Runt.
That’s just a better interpretation all around.
The Wario Rap
No one’s got a strut like Wario!
I throw around words like ‘awesome’ and ‘delightful’ a lot, but this song by the Random Encounters team is definitely both. Funny, witty, and with a snazzy, Wario-infused beat, this is professional video game parody at its best! Plus maybe this song will really get stuck in your head.
When the Internet Gives – The Skyrim Theme Sung by the Chocolate Rain Guy
The title says it all. Sometimes the Internet just comes together to produce something I never knew I could live without.
Who doesn’t love Chocolate Rain? It’s an Internet classic. And one has to assume that meme pioneer Tay Zonday has to wake up every morning and think up something new to do with his day. I bet he plays Skyrim. If I could sing an awesome version of the Skyrim theme, I totally would. I would owe it to the world. He’s only doing what he was put on this Earth to do. And for that, I salute him.
He also sang an awesome cover of Be Prepared from the Lion King. Because, again, the Internet is nothing if not all-giving.

Unicorns from Hell!
I want my blog to be a repository of all things unicorns and pegasuses.
Especially when it’s this badass. Song by Sharon Luxenburg. Who knew that unicorns could be so metal?
Reminds me of Neon Pegasus!
