I actually love this, except for the decision to include the rap portion of poker face. It's been running through my head for days. But I came to lady gaga late, and mostly through her acoustic work: I love her and I never got a chance to overload on her like the average person who watches TV and such. But then, I also love this vid that never made it out: http://www.videosift.com/video/Daughtry-Poker-Face-Acoustic-Cover

They could've used a better singer for poker face, but overall, pretty awesome.

Sounds live...

But I'm still disgusted, and slightly amused that if you say "poker face" over and over really fast it sounds like "fuck'er face".

Aside from that cover of Walken's Poker face, I'm delighted to report that I don't recognize any of these songs.

Now, I shall return to the rock I live under.

One has to wonder how much time they spent choreographing this thing.

I actually really liked the "I'm on a boat" parody montage.

Also, when he said "name any song", I actually named Poker face, making this video eerily mind-reading.

I just watched this again, and noticed this time how well he is using stage voice techniques. His "O"'s, "OO"'s are and "Ah"'s are spot on.

Christopher Walken can use whatever voice he wants!

Yeah, nice thumbnail...


"I now have a deliciously vivid idea of what Christopher Walken sounds like having sex."
