Christopher Walken appeared on “Friday Night with Jonathan Ross” on BBC One this weekend, and Ross had him read the lyrics to Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.” (If you’re new to Earth, this is the original song. Better version here.) As you might expect from anything that has Christopher Walken, it is amazing. I’ve watched it three times and the first “Ooh!” makes me laugh every time.
Show of hands: who would buy a spoken-word album of Walken reading the lyrics to various pop songs? Everyone? That’s what I thought. Let’s make it happen, people.

Word to the wise, put your coffee down before viewing. That is pure white awesome.
It only took two days for Cartman do be dethroned?
Someone needs to make a mash-up.
Gert B. Frobe can not be stopped.
In fairness, Walken could recite Byron and it would COMEDY GOLD
fear the table saw
…So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he kept this all spark…up his ass.
Cartman’s is still better.
