    Smoking Popes did “Pure Imagination?” What the fuck. That’s amazing. It sounds amazing. And Greg Dulli doing Tin Man and the velvet Hutt? I love it.

    ok another comment after a bit of dicking around on youtube… here are some Divine Comedy videos that I am forcing you to look at because you made me waste my evening looking for them with your curiosity-inducing post

    A cover of a Noel Coward poem that is only ok as a song overall but is fabulous as a music video — kind of looks like it was edited by Terry Jones

    A protest song for Guantanamo Bay detainees with pictures — an extremely decent song as well

    Oh my God…
    Duke Special - Our Love Goes Deeper Than This
    I watched this video 3 times. The song rules, Neil Hannon rules, Duke Special is my new hero and there are dancing people in animal costumes at the end FOR NO REASON

    A hilariously earnest nerd singing “Tiny Dancer” and then the Divine Comedy’s “Songs of love”… only worth looking at truly for the third comment about it, “This video touched me so deeply that I am now with child.” Oh…then there’s a flute… how unfortunate.

    That Popes cover is from one of their studio albums. I’d have sworn that you knew about it because, well, its awesome and I have a man crush on the Smoking Popes.

    Is there a better waste of time on the whole internet than YouTube? For supporting evidence, I submit these three threads

    That Duke Special one was fantastic. I think I need to watch it again.
