Dr. Demento can retire

Because the attached video is the most ridiculous novelty song of the last one hundred years and it will be at least a few centuries before somebody tops this one!



It went utterly nowhere on my Face book, so now I want to enlarge the audience of people enthusiastically ignoring it.

It's my way of bringing back the love DU has lost amongst all of us the last few months.

I learned of this crime against music on Chris Hayes MSNBC show last Tuesday 9/3/13. After all my shopping this around the internets, at least I can find comfort knowing I did more than my share to make this thing finally go viral.

Enjoy, if you dare.

The group, Ylvis, is a novelty duo from Norway, and they do a good job of playing it straight for the most part in the videos I've seen of them. Look for their one about Stonehenge and enjoy the send-up of various overused music video imagery while they sing about Stonehenge.
