I Play The Hits: June 2006 Archives

Gnarls Barkley as Star Wars

Holy Shit. This is amazing. (also my first youtube link) Cee-lo dressed as Darth Vader & Dangermouse as Obi Wan. Chewbacca has got the drumming down with the entire X-wing fighter crew singing backup. Stormtropper guitarists with an orchestra of Imperial cellists and violinists. Behind the scenes, Bobba Fet is at the keyboards, with gun in hand. The lyrics on the slow scroll in the background. HELL YEAH. Gnarls Barkley in the house at the MTV Movie Awards!

If you don't remember, Dangermouse is the DJ who rocked all of our worlds with The Grey Album project, masterfully mixing Jay Z and The Beatles, much to the dismay of EMI & Sony/ATV.

This has become a total hit, and thus it should be no surprise that you should expect this track to show up on the forthcoming I Play The Hits mixtape, coming soon, I hope!
