In what I've decided to dub the weirdest 6 minutes I've spent on YouTube in a significant amount of time, here is a music video for a version of The Beatles' "Let It Be," as sung by a convoy of American and European celebs from the 80's and 90's. Some of them still respectable, some of them cult figures, and others are... Has-beens would be putting it kindly.
Throughout the song, the video keeps up an impressive level of befuddlement by slowly trickling out weirder and weirder appearances. Robert Englund? Right Said Fred? Tonya Harding? Wait, Glenn Close? CARLTON? How? More importantly, why?!
I don't know what it says about me that I recognize pretty much all of these people. It was just the other day that I was asking people if anyone else remembers Michael Learns to Rock, to no avail. This video kind of dropped a grenade into my nostalgia chamber. I mean, holy shit, Meja is still around?
If you're still curious as to what this is, it's actually a promo for the latest season of a Norwegian entertainment news program called Gylne Tider, meaning "Golden Times" in English. Well played, Norwegian television. Well played.
