I cannot stop laughing. This was middling-big last year, I think, but it deserves to be drug out every year simply because it is perfect in its horrible badness. It is a travesty, carried out to perfection. This makes Eric Cartman seem like Enrico Caruso. This will unite the world: Everyone who hears it will be reduced to a mix of helpless laughter and ear-clutching agony.
Retail drones: Sneak this into the store’s playlist. Epicness awaits.
That really was epic. Good God.
Off to email the link to everyone I know…
:eek:
I thought at first that the awfulness was merely approaching Shatneresque proportions, but the falsetto pushed it into an entirely different order of direness.
I’m afraid to listen to this at work.
I would honestly prefer to hear this over and over if it meant never being subjected to Barbra Streisand’s detestable “Jingle Bells” ever again.
I have already stunned a couple of my coworkers with it.
I don’t know, at least she can sing in tune. I have no idea WTF this is.
Every time I hear this, I picture a guy being tortured on some medieval torture device while simultaneously being forced to sing this. At least I imagine that’s what it would sound like, anyway. Gah.
I don’t know who Ken Levine is, but is he the one singing that?
Even if you work at Gitmo, I would advise against listening to this at work. This goes beyond “epic” and into the realm of “Crimes Against Humanity.” The best way to describe this is Shatner attempting to sing while repeatedly getting hit in the nuts. With a sledgehammer.
I love that version so, so much. Just when you think it can’t get any worse, he really goes all out with that falsetto. If I recall correctly, it’s from an audition tape for this Christian organization’s annual Christmas show. This guy actually thinks he can sing! It blows my mind, I’m in tears by the end of it.
This guy dowsn’t sing. He howls like a hound. With Downs Syndrome.
Good g-d almighty… I think I brought the servers down by playing that…
Please tell me that was a joke. Good heavens.
It’s going to be really tough to top…er, bottom…that. Some radical Christian leader out there ought to declare the equivalent of a jihad against that “performer,” 'cuz buddy, that just ain’t funny.:eek:
Ok, by the end of that, I was in tears. Hated it at first, then it got REALLY bad (and funny!).
You know who He is. You know what He is doing.
And it starts out with a Thomas Kinkade painting. How appropriate.
No, Ken is merely the messenger. He wrote for a lot of sitcoms, including MASH*, and currently has a really cool blog, one post of which I’ve linked to. Reading the blog is a good way to waste time, much like listening to that song is a good way to kill braincells.
I remember it from a thread a few years ago, (how could I forget.)
The background story:
IIRC, there was a radio station that asked people to send in tapes of themselves singing Christmas songs. That was one of the entries.
