Just wait until he gets to the stuff about Obama. Catchy stuff!
Total summer jam. STREETS IS TALKING.
I don’t know very much about rapture theology, but I would be fine with this guy turning into a pile of clothes, or whatever the fuck. (Thanks for the tip, Josh.)

his shirt clashes with the background…don’t people know how to dress for the camera?
The uncredited first and second eagles of the apocalypse are so pissed at Bill, they pretty much wrote this song.
They didn’t think to film it on a lake. It’s all about the production values.
Dude looks like he’s about to lose it when he sings the like about frying whores. Also, he totally borrowed the melody of ‘O Tannenbaum.’
Once you’ve tasted fried whore you just can’t go back to regular whores.
Because you’re in jail.
Seriously, I couldn’t stop singing “O! Christmas tree, O! Christmas tree!” in my head. MAKE THE VOICES STOP.
I keep hoping that the blob monster from “Creepshow” would pop out of the lake behind this guy and eat him, but no such luck I guess.
Not to be a pedant, but that was creepshow 2. Also, I hope for the same thing as you.
I welcome the correction, and I am relieved that someone got that reference. I am somewhat concerned that I am still carrying a memory of Creepshow 2 around in my brain to the point where it pops up when I see a guy in front of a lake, but that is my cross to bare.
I’m an obsessive horror film watcher and collector, which I suppose is my cross to bear.
Also, both Creepshows are pretty great.
Let’s not talk about Creepshow 3.
I was hoping the General Lee would come whippin’ down that dirt road and knock him into that there pond.
Thank you, America, for creating this man.
“When you get to hell, don’t look for me because I won’t be there. YOU’LL be there!”
Any one care to hazard a guess as to where that little line is quoted from?
Here’s a hint: it is related to my previous challenge, “The devil is alive and well in East Texas!”
First person to answer correctly will be considered for an award of a special prize pack in the mail.
Here is a hint: the source of these fun quotes pre-dates the internet age so the google will not help you. You will have to use more of an investigatory approach.
All I can think of is The Stand, but that’s probably wrong.
Wrong, “adgied” but thanks for trying.
longmont potion castle prank call?
“stairwaytoevan” is on the right track, getting warmer!!!
ITS A BROTHER RUSSEL(MELBA TOAST) PRANK CALL INTO A RADIO SHOW.
Gar. I feel like I actually know this. But all that keeps popping into my head, blocking it, is a strip poker game on an airplane and that lady saying “Chivalry ain’t dead in Texas!”
Wrong, “hotspur” but thanks for playing.
It’s cute* how you think we care what you have to say.
*boring
I don’t know the answer, but hey, Steve Winwood, if you don’t know Michael Dougan’s “Tales From Behind the Pine Curtain”, you might enjoy Michael Dougan’s “Tales From Behind the Pine Curtain”.
I, for one, enjoy the comedy stylings of a Mister Bill Hicks
Add another one to the list http://www.last.fm/user/clearchannel/library/playlists/47l3c_12-21-2012. Also, what the heck, as long as I’m posting stupid crap: Can you spare a Last.fm upvote? http://www.last.fm/music/Steve+Winwood/+images/48685915
LOLz^1000, Mr. Trash.
Was this supposed to scare me?
Between this and Hunks Hunks Hunks, I am glad I am home sick today. Something tells me my bosses might have concerns.
And also, how did everyone except this dude miss out on the ‘Obama having four heads’ thing? That seems like something that might have been brought up during the election.
Leopard King? This guy approves
I just did that OW OW OW cat-call thing automatically. So glad no one is around right now.
Dude was so HOTTT.
It’s like his eyes can see right to the core of me…
My fiance and I have been looking for a song to have our first dance to at our wedding. Thanks Videogum!
Awesome! Are you getting married at the Westboro Baptist Church?
Well not AT the church, just at a gay soldier’s funeral.
comment of the year
ZING!
I want more upvotes for this
I know Obama’s got four heads and four wings and everything, but that doesn’t necessarily make him the Leopard King.
Also, Fried Whores.
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
No thank you.
Is that the Leopard King or the Fried Whore?
I realize that the teeth are meant to be the focal point of this terrifying photo, but it’s the nose that gets me. Is there an actual nose on this face?
The horror. The horror.
You spent more time looking at that photo than I did.
I prefer my whores grilled. It’s a heart-healthy option.
“Rap” ture Theology is actually going to be his next hit. Featuring Lil’ Jon and the Young Money Crew. OKAY!
I love when the camera angles changed. Flawless editing.
I’m not sure if he’ll get the chance to be raptured if he continues to use electronics dangerously close to bodies of water.
Don’t worry, it’s not plugged in.
‘Sup Obama?
I count seven heads and zero wings. That’s clearly Biden.
either this guy is lying, or obama keeps the other three heads and four wings hidden in his suit jacket.
Is that background beat Samba 2 or Bossa Nova?
My bet’s on ‘Slow Rock’.
I love the look at 3:45. It basically says:
“Get it? Leopard King? Cuz where do leopards come from? You know where. AFRICA, that’s where. I’m clever.”
Is anyone else now curious what fried whore tastes like?
Ask Jeffrey Dahmer.
Aww, shucks! As soon as I posted that I remembered he didn’t kill prostitutes (but he knows what fried people taste like!). Also, he’s dead, so you couldn’t ask him anyway…
I think they were male prosties and young ones at that. But I was very young at the time of that horror. (And not male nor a prostie….)
Yeah, they were males for sure, but I think he just met them at bars…Oh whatever, I can’t remember!
#serialkillergum
I don’t know… I think it could use a little more whore.
I always assumed Ke$ha would sing us into end times.
Darn, I was hoping Ke$ha would move her voice up and down while she talks/rap aimlessly into end times.
“This beat. This beat is for the Chosen.”
- this guy, while testing out the manufacturer included beats
Start a war he can’t win?
That’s wrong. This guy started two wars you can’t win.
I’ll admit that I don’t condone all of these lyrics, but I really just listen for the beats.
Right? That’s some J.Dilla shit right there.
Angizzle, think you could work some of your artistic magic and get us a four-headed, four-winged, leopard-printed Obama?
GODDAMNIT THIS SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD
I know. I’m walking around work singing “It’s prophesied, it’s prophesied” under my breath. Now everyone is going keep on thinking I’m weird.
You should get a smartphone (if you don’t have a smartphone) and make people watch this video if you get weird looks. That is my plan. Then everyone will get how completely normal a song it is to sing.
“a few will go to meet His bride” ??????????
Jesus got married? I didn’t even get an e-vite
We’re on the case.
I felt it my duty – nay, privilege – to log in just to upvote this.
the rapture is your e-vite.
Jesus’s bride is the church. There is a strong probability that John was on shrooms when he wrote Revelation
The Bible is full of some great shroom moments – like 2 Kings 2:24.
http://bible.cc/2_kings/2-24.htm
That’s more of a bad shroom moment. Orange juice and a blanket for that dude, please.
I love how his kindly demeanor draws you in, like “aw, Granpa is going to play a song he wrote for church and jesus and the bible” and then he just smacks you across the face with the “pain and death on every side, when those four horsemen start their ride” shit.
And PS, who’s bride are we going to meet? I thought all the important schmoes in chritianity were strictly anti-marriage.
I’m now bummed out having been tunefully reminded that I will be… Left Below.
Despite a couple small pronoun/case problems (“Some will live, some will die, A few will go to meet his bride”), this song is a sparkling gem. I also love the professional 3-camera shoot.
“Get oil and trim your lamp”? Hi, this is the 21st century. Please update your metaphors so we know what you mean. Here — much clearer: “Get KY and trim your lamp.”
He’d better be careful, or Satan’s going to post his phone number on twitter.
Another guy who missed out on that whole ‘grace’ part of Christianity. Topher Grace, that is.
I look forward to hearing this at hockey games, right alongside other popular “anthems” like Rock and Roll Pt 2 and Jump Around.
I was too distracted by the Comic Sans subtitles to take what he was singing seriously.
I couldn’t take it seriously for other reasons.
I particularly enjoy the climactic lyrical conclusion wherein Our Gentle Performer changes the words of the final refrain from “some will live and some will die,” to: “some will live, much more will die.” I know I was startled upon learning that so many of us will die. Previously I thought only a few of us would end up dying, but I guess I was wrong about that. Good luck to each of you.
I thought prophetcide is what killed Jesus in the first place.
Dad?
This guy would kill at Bar Mitzvah’s.
Literally.
I saw the Rapture open for Daft Punk back in 2007, and thought they were just alright, but I’m really digging this post-songsmith direction they’ve been going in recently.
Fuck you for getting that Songsmith tune back into my head after so many months trying to get it out. Fuck you, sir. Fuck you so very much.
I sing into a microphone while the drummer plays along…
I laughed for about 40 seconds, until this was no longer funny to me. This guy is totally serious and it puts me on edge.
Agreed and upvoted. I tolerated a minute or so at work and now at home have already forgot what the melody was. As usual, thanks internet!
Shades of John Daker?

this is epic
I imagined Leonard Cohen singing this, and it sounded like a new Leonard Cohen song.
How does one trim a lamp exactly?
Casio-tard.
The trimming of lamps depends on how thick one’s lamp is…..
In some places you can get a good deal on lamp trimming with a side of fried whore…..
when this “music video” started, i’m thinking it’s definitely a one camera production, but then they go ahead and blow my mind with two more cameras!!!
ps – anyone getting hungry for some fried babylonian whore? luckily i will be raptured and can partake in the fine eats. shouldn’t be too long now, the leopard king gonna start up the grill.
