Welcome to Hell!
In other words, welcome to several weeks of home videos and other nonsense that no one else cares about!
First up: Hamlet performed by Legos. I made this sometime in 12th grade and my 12th grade English teacher let me show it to the class near the end of the year. They freaking loved it and a bunch of people mentioned it when they signed my yearbook, haha.
It’s actually crap, but so is the taste of 12th graders, apparently.
Anyway.
The Real Prince of Denmark
Blame a crossword puzzle for this buffoonery. I was going to do the whole song, but I guess I just crashed on the couch and didn’t finish anything but the first main verse thingy.
I’m a rock star.
(Sung to the tune of “The Real Slim Shady” by Eminem).
May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?
Will the real Prince of Denmark please stand up?
I repeat, will the real Prince of Denmark please stand up?
We’re going to have a problem here
Y’all act like you never seen a dead father before
Lyin’ on the floor, an uncle with poison runnin’ out the door
Started rulin’ the country worse than before, Hamlet thought he was bored
But he’s just melancholy
It’s the return of the “To be, or not to be, woe is me,
Horatio didn’t just see a ghost, did he?”
And Ophelia said…
Nothing you idiots, Ophelia’s dead, she drowned after goin’ mad!
Also, I just realized how freaking long the original song is.
In gear for a nerdy summer!
Hehe. So last winter I created a very abridged version of Hamlet using Legos (it was about 5 minutes long).
So, to follow this trend, I am setting a goal: this summer, I shall create abridged versions of several classic pieces of literature using only Legos, a camcorder, and some creative license.
I will now be taking suggestions.
If any of the books you suggest end up winning me an Oscar, I’ll thank you in my speech.
