This Video of the Lion King Cast Singing on an Airplane Is My Hell
Latest
Here is a “charming” video starring the Australian cast of The Lion King, singing “The Circle of Life.” On a plane. This is supposed to be cute, but in fact it’s my worst nightmare, because there’s nothing worse than being trapped in an enclosed space and subjected to talent.
I’ve got nothing against “The Circle of Life.” I might even shell out $30 or so to go see the Broadway show if I had a day off and some cousins were in town. But there’s a big difference between seeking out a little culture and being plopped in the middle of a bunch of Broadway singers, escape routes blocked. Because when a large group of professional (or even semi-professional, or pretty-sure-they’re-just-as-good-as-professional) singers start up, there’s only one socially acceptable reaction, and that’s to be so excited! Look at this free concert!! Ain’t life grand?! Clap, clap like your life depends on it!
It’s like being stuck at Nero’s violin recital.
