Ok, so it’s just a cupcake. But there’s something just so right (and ever-so-slightly mind-bending) about this dessert that’s eating another dessert before your eyes. Plus, Cookie Monster.

We figured it wouldn’t take long before George Lindell, the Reality Hits You Hard Bro dude would get Songified by the Gregory Brothers. The whole world asked for it, so Foom! here you go.

Channelling Freddie

At first, we thought Marc Martel was lip-syncing, but he does the most uncanny impression of Freddie Mercury’s smooth and powerful vocals. Or maybe he’s just a medium for the dead. More here.
