Fark, he's good.

What. The. Fark.

Watching that was like having a cheese fuelled dream of epic proportions.

Didn't he beat up the girl from ipanema ?

My wife is from Brazil, so I'm getting a kick, etc, etc.

Can't get video to load.

I'm imagining it sounds like the original because of his weird high-pitched voice.

I was able to catch it on YouTube.

This is made of spun awesome, into a blanket of win.

Skip ahead to about 3:15 and it's only about two minutes long. Don't bother with the first three minutes...

And they're right, he's not bad. His fairly weak voice works quite well representing someone too meek to introduce themselves to the girl they like...

I've always thought his voice was in odd juxtaposition to his physical stature and violent vocation. I guess that you just can never tell.

Approve.

It's too bad he's a rapes/beats women/bites people's ears off because he can be quite endearing, like in this clip.

Yup. The acid is reeeeeeeally kickin' in.


Wait. That actually happened?



Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......

Was he singing over another audible voice track or is his voice just like that?

The piano player is singing backup.

That's ludicrous

Intel commercial played flawlessly, Tyson video doesn't play at all. BS!

I find your definition of "pretty damn well" disturbing.
Mike's falsetto angel voice suits this song better than my own guttural grunting, however.

I expecting a drum solo, for which Iron Mike is closing his eyes and enjoying, immediately followed by him accidentally punching out the piano player.

He talks in falsetto. Who's surprised he sings that way?

However, I've always been surprised at men that want to sound like women.

/even more so that some make money at it

Like the lead singer of Silversun Pickups?

They opened for Muse when the tour came through Phoenix, and it was really friggin' weird, the hot girl on bass who wasn't singing even though it looked like she should have been, while the hipster guy was singing.

/cue the, "his skinny jeans have caused it" commentary...

Surreal.

best part of this vid is when the announcer is chewing and chewing airtime, because he loves the damn sound of his own voice instead of handing it over to the talent and mike goes

"come on come on"

. . . kinda soft, and a bit threatening, but the announcer realizes if he doesn't quit talking he might get a knuckle sandwhich.

Wow. 15 scripts on that site. Good luck.

TWX: /cue the, "his skinny jeans have caused it" commentary...

Considering that hipster jeans are basically a reprise of 80s metal jeans, a musical genre that also featured quite a lot of falsetto, I think this theory bears further investigating.

/It was weird seeing people in those jeans in the mid-90s, after they've been out of production for several years.

Same problem. Ludicrous,isn't it?

The piano player is singing backup.


also, his voice is being autotuned (perhaps even both voices are).

/i like autotune
//doesn't detract from the fun or the wtf factor

Autotune.

Mike and me at SXSW 2011. if you could turn your lives around like this guy did then I'd be proud of you too.

He's now a kind, caring, vegan who is humbled by his fans love of him.

Mike's always been a kid. These days he's a good kid.

Between this video, and his not too shabby performance at the Charlie Sheen roast, it appears Mike is coming around.

I can't see the film. Did they get his "good" side ??

Sounds like he's finally gotten the right meds.

Was anyone else concerned for the host when Mike put him in a headlock?

He was a disaster on that roast.
