I’m Very Sorry, But It’s Time to Go to the Star Wars Cantina
Look, I am sorry. But when there’s a shockingly well-sung parody of Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana” as the “Star Wars Cantina,” and that song is accompanied with a pretty terrible Flash-plus-MS Paint video, I kind of have to post it on Topless Robot. It’s the law. The good news is that we’re getting this out of the way first thing in the morning, so the rest of the day can only get less goofy from here.
…right? (“Thanks” to equally ashamed TR reader Brian for the tip.)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
