Opera + Rap + Bagpipes = Better Than You Expect

The expression "so bad it's good" gets thrown around a lot these days, and can be applied to many different things, from the movie Troll 2 to the stylings of Fred and Sharon.

And while I feel like the composers of this twenty-two minute long ditty are attempting to join the ranks of the "so bad it's good" brigade, their creation is quite simply so good it's great. You wouldn't expect a mixture of bagpipes, tuba, accordian, opera, rap, western folk, and holiday anthems to be auditorily appetizing, and yet it all works together quite perfectly. It's sort of like how you'd never eat mustard or mayonnaise by itself, but put them together and you get sweet, delectable mayostard.
