Ganked from wicked_wish: As one viewer put it, Christian Klingons in Finland, a.k.a. the band Lordi, with the live performance of their Eurovision contest-winner "Hard Rock Hallelujah."

Scary. Funny. Bizarre. And obviously meant for a Guitar Hero future.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Lord have mercy, that was fucked up. I am spreading the brain damage to everyone on my list!

I am spreading the brain damage to everyone on my list!

That was my imperative, as well. :D

I dropped it on an entry from takhisis as payback for the Ding video, because that is STILL lodged in my brain, god help me.

Is it sad that I already knew and had seen the winner of Eurovision?

The lyrics to that song are fucking dope, though I am wondering if anyone else has noticed they are a Gwar ripoff. Not to say that the entire concept is not wonderful. Just saying, it's been done many times.

I was just about to point out the Gwar thing.

Well, not having paid enough attention to music in lieu of books in my formative years, I obviously missed the Gwar thing. However, you and others are bringing it up, so... Catching up! :D

I would like to point out though that any derivative-ness (derativity? derativosity?) does not negate the FUCKING AWESOMENESS of the lyrics to that song. The day of ROCKINING, man. Rockining.

Clearly making the rounds. I stumbled across another mention that has a still photo, which is much clearer than the blurry YouTube video. They look a bit more demonish and a bit less Klingonish.

Now that I think of it, it reminds me of a story about Blakes 7. It's a sci-fi show that ran in the UK in the early 80s, and started showing up on PBS stations maybe 10 years later. Up until then, people had been making copies of videotapes taped off the air, transferring them from PAL to NTSC, shipping them across the atlantic, and making more copies, getting blurrier and blurrier each time.

I heard someone say that the first time she saw the show, she didn't realize that one of the characters had been recast between seasons. This, despite the fact that the two actors didn't look anything alike! They weren't the same build, they didn't have the same accent... but they both wore black uniforms and eyepatches, and other characters called them by the same name.
