Anyway, with nothing else really goin’ on in popular music this week, I’m left to one of my weaker writing devices – scouring YouTube for weird crap and commenting on it. So, without any further adieu, enjoy this collection of people in Star Wars costumes rocking the F out. Behold the Average Joe/Jane’s shamelessness coupled with heaping doses of unnecessary, unfiltered snark: Sleeveless Chewbacca Plays Guitar Hero – This guy is playing like the longest Rush song in the world. His sexy dance moves definitely do not increase enjoyment of this video. After a while, I started zoning out and wondering why his house was barely decorated. Chewbacca Plays Guitar Hero While Female Yoda Dances Suggestively – Note to all women: a Yoda mask instantly negates whatever amount of sexiness you possess. The party going on in the background looks kind of weak. Chewbacca Unplugged – Filmed in someone’s driveway, in front of a minivan and a bicycle. Chewie gives up halfway through and impatiently rushes the camera. Oh, the frustrated artist. Darth Vader & Optimus Prime Have Difficulty Getting Guitar Hero To Work – They eventually figure it out and start jamming on some prog rock. Optimus fucks it up in the end, though. I love that Darth has the voice modulator going the whole time. Vader Gets His Blues On – Look out, Stevie Ray Vaughn! Darth Vader’s gunnin’ for your legacy! Do you think this person’s mother would be proud or ashamed if she saw this video? I mean, both the costume and the riffs are impressive. Still…it’s a guy dressed like Darth Vader playing the guitar to an empty, dimly lit room. Chewbacca Plays An Electronic Drum Kit – Not as awesome as you’d think. Star Wars Death Metal Band Anchorhead – I saved the best for last. These guys are a legitimately amazing death metal tribute to the epic musical work of John Williams (complete with growled dialogue from the film). As you can see in this live clip, they all wear helmets/masks. If I walked into a club and saw this, I’d orgasm a thousand times over. Next week – something that requires a little more effort on my part. Check out the Crawling Ear every Wednesday at Den Of Geek. The last Crawling Ear can be found here.
