Zelda Fan Plays With Himself

Here's how to impress at least three people at a party.

I'm not sure who started the original "clone-cappella" but it seems to be the growing art form of choice for tuneful fanboys. It's great to see so many things that were once the torch bearers of nerdom coverge to burn down the thorny walls of ostracism. Here's what I assume to be a totally socially-celebrated man paying homage to the Zelda series with some clever arrangements and an amazing selection of hats.

  

It's not bad at all. I now present the first one of these I remember seeing. In my personal opinion, this guy is still the champ.

  

Now that I think about it, I have a very vivid memory of a friend and me recording ourselves singing EMF's "Unbelieveable".  I don't think I can express to you how grateful I am to have grown up before YouTube.

Thanks to Kotaku for the tip on this one.

These people may have children some day, and those children will also bear the human fruit - and one day they will find the videos of what their grandparents did in their youth

There will be a lot of suicides that generation

Vinny, I would pay no small sum of money to see this.

My god that Wind Waker one posted in the comments is amazing. Clearly the best. Also, the second video isn't actually that guy singing. Read the description of the youtubes.

"The Internet: the greatest and worst invention by the human race."

Idiocy would still exist with or without the Internet. All it does is let the minority of us know who we have to share the planet with. Which is absolutely fucking depressing.

There's a difference between a cappella and someone recording all the instrumentation for a song. I don't claim that my solo work is a cappella.

Ha.  I remember EMF.  We should get the Capcom boys to get you guys happily plastered and give us a recreation featuring the giant bomb crew.  Jeff could totally rock the lead singers hat.

So very sad when people fail to realize talent when it's there, despite whether or not they thing it's "gay" because a guy has the ability to sing at a high octave. The Star Wars tribute is badass in two ways, first off he's right, John Williams IS the man, and second the guy clearly has awesome talent, with the ability to sing quite well in a range of very different octaves.

Creepy.  Wow...  When I was in secondary school this kid taped himself and his brother doing their own vocals-only mad mc version of a rap song.  None of us would have known except his best friend brought it in and played it on a boom box for everyone to hear.  He was a jerk that way.  But we all laughed very hard.
