Just wanted to thank everyone for all the awesome comments. I had no idea how positive the response would be when we recorded this thing last month. Please keep spreading this around. You're right, it DOES deserve a lot more hits. Thanks Al and Jon!
This film summed up "Oh, you really gotta love paranoia; over half of you believe that I'm Mac. Once you make up your mind you can blow me up or burn me but I'll keep coming back!"
I think this is my favourite of the legolambs musicals - this should have millions of hits by now - it's perfection! Nails the feel of that amazing film and the timing of the lyrics is sweeeeeet!
OH MY FUCKING GOD. This is beautiful. This is genuinely one of the best things I've come across on youtube. Seriously fucking PROPS for doing this. I can't properly explain how thrilled this made me on a tuesday night at 3 AM
+David Bowie Sama Sensei Senpai Sama Sensei Kun I know what you mean - a friend told me about this - it's like finding some rare jewel in the morass of internet garbage. A work of pure genius!
A musical sung by the Thing itself in the voice of Frank Sinatra...absolutely brilliant! And big kudos on the line about "growing legs out of my head"!
I sincerely stood up and started clapping at the end of this. Bravo, seriously. Every line was perfect. The orchestral work, the voice, lyrics, video selections, all choice, what a wonderful love letter to a movie utterly devoid of it.
I was totally unprepared for Sinatra's voice. I had to stop it for a few minutes until I composed myself. Thank you for providing something good in 2020.
the way you used the line, "tied to this fucking couch", was so perfect. that scene when Gary passes the test, is my favorite scene in the whole movie. he totally convinced me that he didn't want to be tied up any longer. an awesome tribute to one of the best movies ever.
Truly magnificent. There is so many levels of greatness in this musical ,the contrast between the movie (dark) and the song(happy), the sinatra's look a like voice, the flawless instrumental , the lyrics ... all is perfect and delicious to hear.
How can they have this much lyrical talent AND this much comedic talent AND this much musical talent AND this much vocal talent? Jon and Al really ARE beings who can change into anyone.
I mean, the thing isn't really a villain Its just doing what every other creature wants to do: survive and multiply So its not much of a villain as much as it is an invasive species
I can't believe this has been out for over a year and I'm just finding it now! Dead on Sinatra impression, and the lyrics are brilliant. For anyone who loves 'The Thing', this is a true masterpiece. Congratulations gentlemen, you have crafted one of the best parody pieces I have ever seen.
Saw Zombeavers, and the highlight was Nick Amado at the end. At the start my brother said "Where do we know Jon and Al Kaplan from?", we heard Nick at the end and badda boom, badda bing we put 2 and 2 together. Best of luck to all you guys and the crew.
Indeed, quite a rarity for most offworlders nowadays, but I honestly believe the body snatchers had a beautiful harmony. This was truly a magical experience, and very loyal to the source material as well- the vocals are handled generously, and The Thing has quite a kind singing voice- the irony of which will truly incite laughter. Genius, absolute genius.
Great job getting the Chairman of the Board back for one last tune! The best part is that the listener can understand the lyrics; something Sinatra was a stickler for. 😊
"What we have here is an organism that imitates Frank Sinatra. And it imitates him perfectly!"
Martín Lange it has a surprisingly beautiful voice and witty attitude for a malformed abomination.
If I was an imitation of Sinatra, a perfect imitation, how would you know if I'm really Sinatra?
That "baby?" Those doobee-doos? That's not Frank.
It's imitation....
Kill it with fire. It can not be allowed to fly to the moon
omg that's great! lol
"You'll either end up dead or tied to this fucking couch!" Best lyric ever!
Definitely! Funny as hell!
"You'll either end up dead or tied to this fucking couch" is seriously such a wonderful line, I can't stop thinking about it
The Thing in six words: "These poor bastards in the snow".
Great description.
Visitormassacre what was the bullshit? I've seen the movie but don't know anything about the production, and Ive also seen harbinger down
Doug Glassman But that’s true of everyone in Iowa in January.
The poor town in the mist
I thought about this comment today and sang the line out loud
Genuinely, without hyperbole, one of my favourite videos of all time.
the scat going while the thing devours windows kills me xD
Just wanted to thank everyone for all the awesome comments. I had no idea how positive the response would be when we recorded this thing last month. Please keep spreading this around. You're right, it DOES deserve a lot more hits. Thanks Al and Jon!
Hopefully Mr. Thing didn’t assimilate everyone in the recording booth while he was at it.
@@joshuastrittmatter4188 Just don't come looking for them and it's all good.
Its criminal that this doesn't have a billion views already.
This song is as excellent as the film that inspired it.
Malthusian Epoch it’s criminal that 80% of my friends haven’t seen this movie
For weeks I was trying to find that Sinatra song I had heard before that started "It's cold outside". Finally realised I was remembering this.
2:23 Love how in the panic and mutilation, the Thing is just chilling like he's just dancing with that guy.
"Come on dance with me."
And Windows, well he’s just delicious!
My siblings trying to get me to dance with them to a song be like:
OR, TIED TO THIS, FUCKING, COooOOUCH!
God, I love you guys so much.
At the beginning I thought "hey, I didn't know Sinatra had a song like that". Absolutely amazing voice.
Because the Thing ate Sinatra before it came to the Arctic. True story.
***** it consumed the entire rat pack and very nearly died from alcohol poisoning.
Obscure Entertainment Hahaha that made me chuckle, 5 livers and still not functionable.
samuelf80 That's why the ship crashed at the start of the film. The Thing was severely drunk.
"Did you know that Things are worse than you feared?"
I love the wordplay of that lyric.
2:21 the music and imagery of this had me in tears
It's amazing how the Thing can sing so well with its mouth full.
Bold of you to assume it’s singing with the full mouth. It is a shapeshifter, after all.
@@tsifirakiehl4250 Or that it's the only mouth.
still criminally underappreciated
The Thing is one of those things that would be horrifically terrifying if it was real. But hey if it sang like Frank Sinatra, maybe it wont be so bad.
Eek a monster just ate Frank! What do we... Oh hey, it's performing a musical number, maybe it's not that baaAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEE!!!
This dog could go on tour with the chestburster from Spaceballs.
If the thing were real then we would most likely be screwed
HANS, GET ZE FLAMMENWERFER!!!!!
This film summed up
"Oh, you really gotta love paranoia;
over half of you believe that I'm Mac.
Once you make up your mind you can blow me up
or burn me but I'll keep coming back!"
I just found this thing out from fine. As a freddy's mimic animation, I love it
Years later, this remains one of the greatest things (ha) on TH-cam.
Still is.
This is perfection.
It's been five years, how isn't this already have at least a million views?
3 years later and it still hasn’t. I’ve always been amazed this channel isn’t more well known and well loved
its reaching it now
It is no 10 years
13 years after release and it's still not there? That's unlucky. :/
56 people spent the rest of their winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!!!
"I don't know what the hell's inside there, but it's weird, pissed off and can sing... whatever it is"
"I've known Bennings. I've known him for....Ten Years....He can't sing." "We have to burn the rest of the vocal cords."
From another world baby
This song is the greatest I have ever heard. How come more people don’t know about this? I’ve already seen it a good 50 times.
Incredible!
Why is youtube only just recommending me these videos?
Everything about this is top notch, it’s genius
I'm obsessed with this song. It captures the spirit of the movie so perfectly :)
I think this is my favourite of the legolambs musicals - this should have millions of hits by now - it's perfection! Nails the feel of that amazing film and the timing of the lyrics is sweeeeeet!

oh fuck the CANCER
Wow, thats a pretty good Sinatra impression :)
Oh snap
You mean he may not be who we think he is? OMG.
one of the best things i've ever heard IN MY LIFE!
2:23- The scariest fucking thing I've ever seen in my life . . . now the funniest fucking thing i've ever seen in my life.
A musical sung by the Thing itself in the voice of Frank Sinatra...absolutely brilliant!
And big kudos on the line about "growing legs out of my head"!
I sincerely stood up and started clapping at the end of this. Bravo, seriously. Every line was perfect. The orchestral work, the voice, lyrics, video selections, all choice, what a wonderful love letter to a movie utterly devoid of it.
The only thing that could make this better is if there was a chorus of dancing girls that go "But he's the THING!"
criminally underrated
that line 'things are worse than you fear' always puts a smile on my face
This is brilliant on so many levels. What knocks me out every time is how cheerfully malevolent The Thing is. Also, he sings good.
"You'll either end up dead or tied to this fucking couch." HYSTERICAL!
One of the greatest things to ever be put on the internet
I finally got the 4K collectors box set, so naturally I came back here to hear this masterpiece for the hundredth time. :)
I was totally unprepared for Sinatra's voice. I had to stop it for a few minutes until I composed myself.
Thank you for providing something good in 2020.
How did we get from a slow heartbeat to an upbeat Christmas carol
I've watched this so many times my friends yell at me, "That THING? Again? REALLY?" But I do love it. I love it so. It's a "thing" of beauty.
This is hands down one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
the way you used the line, "tied to this fucking couch", was so perfect. that scene when Gary passes the test, is my favorite scene in the whole movie. he totally convinced me that he didn't want to be tied up any longer. an awesome tribute to one of the best movies ever.
Paranoia, contagion, apocalypse, cute doggies? Truly the most relevant Christmas film of 2020.
One of my favourite movies of all time, now one of my favourite musicals.
I love the little vocal solo while windows is getting eaten and thrown around, it fits so well.
Classic...timeless classic. the Thing and this amazing Sinatra imitation.
This is pure gold.
Thank you TH-cam for showing me this 8 years later.
Truly magnificent.
There is so many levels of greatness in this musical ,the contrast between the movie (dark) and the song(happy), the sinatra's look a like voice, the flawless instrumental , the lyrics ... all is perfect and delicious to hear.
This is the greatest video in the history of mankind. It should be preserved and shown at every museum.
This is the best channel on TH-cam and it’s not even close
why, how did I can miss this masterpiece????
That Sinatra impression is astounding. Can't believe I haven't seen this one yet.
How can they have this much lyrical talent AND this much comedic talent AND this much musical talent AND this much vocal talent? Jon and Al really ARE beings who can change into anyone.
This song is incredible. Also, Childs is the Thing.
This is one Masterpiece
Best villain song ever
I mean, the thing isn't really a villain
Its just doing what every other creature wants to do: survive and multiply
So its not much of a villain as much as it is an invasive species
Watch those hand doc ouch! Is my favorite part
Blair, holding ax: "If one cell gets out..."
Me: "It'll turn everyone into Bobby Darin! Mac, give me that knife." 😂
LOL
brilliant frank voice and video
I can't believe this has been out for over a year and I'm just finding it now! Dead on Sinatra impression, and the lyrics are brilliant. For anyone who loves 'The Thing', this is a true masterpiece. Congratulations gentlemen, you have crafted one of the best parody pieces I have ever seen.
The Sinatra impression is bangin'! Well done!
This deserves way more than 500,000 views
You do a GREAT Sinatra. GREAT. SHOCKING great. Like I thought it WAS Sinatra. And NOBODY sounds like Sinatra. Wow.
Apart from Frank Sinatra Jr
"Its Cold Outside I Been Running For Miles, Helicopter trailing Behind.."
The greatest thing I've ever seen.
+The6cancer9 The greatest THING ... ?
I can't stop laughing, these are some of the funniest TH-cam videos ever! Thanks for posting.
I wouldn't expect that sort of music in a million years. Well done.
Smiling the whole time I was listening to this masterpiece
these musicals are infectious

How is this not the most viewed thing on the internet?
Wow that's a classic, the singing is FABULOUS darling
It's like theme song from movie "ZOMBEAVERS" - very nice
... performed by the same singer.
So freaking epic. I can't stop watching. References my favorite character (Garry) AND incorporates his famous line.
Another amazing video that hasn't received a fraction of the appreciation that
it deserves.
Bim Proctor couldn’t agree more. If it was video of a girl colouring in it’d have way more. It’s a a sign of the apocalypse, I tells you.
This is the most beautiful musical ever
OMG THIS IS GENIUS.
You guys are killing it!
Just watched this for the first time, literally burst out laughing at a few points. This is genius.
Still one of the best musicals you have ever made. I adore this video.
I love that the couch made an entry!
Man am I late to this swingin' party. But it's a blast!
This is the greatest thing to happen to me all year. 😻
I can't tell you how many times I've shared this video. All of your work is genius. Thanks for the hours of entertainment👍
I’m at been a while since I’ve been here but yup it’s still perfect
Silence might be your Magnum Opus, but this one is hands down my favorite, and probably always will be.
That was brilliant.
Simply marvelous!
And that voice... wow!
this literally had me in tears. I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time!
One of my other favourites.
I revisit this place every month or two.
And here I am again.
The best song from Legolambs in my opinion!
Absolutely wonderful! Bravo dude!!! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1:35 My favorite part
Great job getting the Chairman of the Board back for one last tune! The best part is that the listener can understand the lyrics; something Sinatra was a stickler for. 😊
Wow, this is the first one of these I've found and it's way better than any of the others.
The number of times I have come back to watch this video over the years, it’s still as good as ever
