Oh man. There’s tribute songs, and then there’s tribute songs. This one, by New York singer/comedian Brent Black, who performs as Brentalfloss, falls into the italicised camp — not only did it make me laugh, I can’t get it out of my head.
There are some lyrical turns in here that I can’t believe no one’s come up with before — in particular, pointing out that some of the Splicers look like a terrifying version of Joan Rivers, and making the joke that Rapture is “An Ayn Rand wet dream.” Geddit? Wet dream? Come on, surely someone’s made that joke before…
Anyway, sit back, turn up the speakers and sing along.
