music video

It's at 0:17.

The music video for Snoop Lion's collaboration with producer Major Lazer, Get Away is an homage to old school gaming, with a particularly long Pokemon battle.

"This is the story of a king and his quest for a mighty sword with the power to forge a new nation, a kingdom of METAL." Yeah, you read that right. This week's Bad Fanfic Friday is a bad metal version of the tale of King Arthur with lots of bad sword fighting. I think I saw Xena in there somewhere too, but I can't be sure; my face was melting at the time.

The song features a Japanese child singing on about how weak Magikarp is. Here's the chorus:

Weak pokémon, Magikarp

The weakest thing in the world

Weak pokémon, Magikarp

So weak that it's actually shocking

Can't say this is quite as catchy as the Slowpoke song:



But damn if it's right up there!
