NY Times on "The Chronic of Narnia"

If you haven’t seen “The Chronic of Narnia” rap from last week’s Saturday Night Live you’ve either been living under a rock or the interweb is bigger than you think.

If you haven’t seen it yet you can watch it here.

My favorite verse…

Roll up to the theater
Ticket buying what we’re handling,
You can call us Aaron Burr from the way we’re dropping Hamiltons
Parked in our seats movie trivia’s the illest!
“What Friends alum starred in films with Bruce Willis?”
We had the dope facts, it was scary:
Everyone stared in awe when we screamed Matthew Perry!
Then quiet in the theatre or it’s gonna get tragic
We’re about to be taken to a dream world of magic!

The Chronic of Narnia is probably the funniest thing to grace SNL since Frankenstein, Tonto And Tarzan sang Christmas carols.

The NY Times writes about the making of the video and I have to say I’m blown away that it was pretty much done independently of SNL production.

The Lonely Island guys, the brains behind the video, are hysterical and I’m in debt to both Mobius and Krucoff for urging me to view Awesometown, possibly the greatest pilot never released.

Mom, don’t even bother. You’re not going to get it.
