Ok, I burried my post about this genius on another thread, so I figured this deserved its own thread

Some of you may have seen this clip floating on the net of Norwegian guys doing a cover song from the 80's

I actually watched it like 10 times, and I found it funnier every time I watched it

So i looked the guys up

Turns out, They just had their first US tour

it gets wierder

they are the subject of an independant "Rockumentary" (that you can watch online)

Ford Seems to have sponsored them, and they got Ford to give away the car they Jammed on (With Free Air Freshener!)

I am so gonna book them for an unsuspecting audience

they need a couple more songs and a few new surprises, but they have just the surreal freakesh quality that can entertain and turn the tables on an audience

just watch the individual band members, each one, through the whole video. my favorite part is still the way the guy whose pants falls down prepares for his big moment. this is high quality entertainment here

brilliant comedic timing, I look forward to what they bring to the table in the future

although I enjoyed the plumbers crack stove crushing as a pseudo stand in, it simply needs real cowbell and lots of it.

Well I was oddly both disturbed and intrigued enough by it to make Nog come over to my PC and watch it.
Thanks Mulch :D

They're pretty good, but can they top Leningrad Cowboys ?
