Ditto on the Halloween theme. It’s surprisingly… catchy and eloquent, somehow.

I started doing this because of the Bill Myrray lounge lizard Star Wars one.

I completely ruined the Harry Potter theme for a friend. Didn’t mean to, but dangit, the words fit!

I love this Andrew guy.

This guy must have taken a dip in Crispin Glover’s gene pool.

If he didn’t play it so deadpan, the video wouldn’t have been half as funny. Great stuff.

I always thought it sounded like classic Elfman. (You do know that he did compose the Batman theme right? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096895/combined)

You can tell almost instantly from the Beetlejuice theme, or the Simpsons, or Tales from the Crypt, or Batman that it is Elfman just by the music. No singing required.

amazing! colossal! ASTOUNDING!

When can I buy the DVD collection of these masterpieces? (Sorry, if you’re not into the kitch/WFMU.org scene, you just won’t get the fabtabulousness of it all.)

One of my Goldentusk faves is the Indiana Jones rendition:

Especially the part where he dramatically intones, “Kill all the snaaaakes…”

It’s not just the parodied music that’s funny, it’s the fitting visuals that add an extra dimension to the whole song-and-dance. :)

Haha, doesn’t hurt that the vocals make the whole thing sound more like a Danny Elfman musical piece. I never used to think that the Batman score stuff sounded like Elfman, but, man, throw some lyrics on and it sounds like it could be from Sweeny Todd or Corpse Bride.

The videos…oh, gods, the eyes…what has been seen…cannot be unseen!

Still, the audio is amusing. Good candidate for ‘click play, alt-tab’.

Who knew that all superhero theme songs were really arias?

Thanks for turning all of those theme songs into some new tracks that will soon be labeled with those “this song used in torture” stickers.

ha! I don’t know if I’d record it and put it on the internet, but I love doing this.

I used to do it for videogame themes all the time. Like Final Fantasy 1 (US) for the NES… overworld music… “We are the Light Warrior we KICK some ass!” etc.

Lets not forget that this has a fine history, going back at least to Bill Murray and the Star Wars theme:

There was a brilliant precursor to this, I wonder if its the same guy, but on ytmnd.com this guy did this hilarious rendition of the Jurassic Park dinosaur theme. First link that popped was youtube, so without further ado: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il85E-ms-44
