Major Lazer Vs. the Fresh Prince of Cave Story
First up — someone took out the opening music to the Will Smith sitcom Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, kept the vocal track, and added the intro music to the old PC game Cave Story. It is spectacular, and possible exactly what the internet was ultimately designed for. Watch:
So what’s better than that? Major Lazer, a cartoon character created for some bizarre dancehall music concept project by producers Switch and Diplo. Lazer, having lost his arm in the “secret zombie war of 1984,” has a laser cannon and a flying surfboard and basically goes around killing the shit out vampires, zombies, and mummies. It is the raddest fucking thing I’ve ever seen.
