Heathcliff Just Won't Be Undone, Playing Pranks On Everyone

Here's one for children of the '80s who also read nerdy books: the comedy team Elephant Larry just put up this mashup, "Emily Bronte's Heathcliff," "starring Ralph Fiennes as the titular cat." You kind of have to get two whole references to enjoy this, but if you do, you do:

It's funny 'cause Ralph Fiennes is so serious. (I think I get Heathcliff mixed up with Marmaduke, but I do remember this intro going through my head all the time as a kid.)

That's actually Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort in the Harry Potter movies.

Yeah, I hung out with a slightly different crowd of fan-fictiony teenage girls in high school, clearly.

The perfect companion piece to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW3gKKiTvjs

Update: I meant to just post that link and be done with it, but I have watched it twice now. Kate Bush is actually a witch with magical powers of compulsion. And interpretive dance.

Full body wave.

They debuted that video at their most recent show, and the crowd was literally howling. Me included, because it is brilliant.
