Hasta La Creative!

Usually if something sounds too good to be true, you can bet dollars to donuts there’s going to be a catch. Well, what if I told you there’s an ad featuring an Irish dude dressed in a homemade Batman costume busting moves to a karaoke track of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” in a shop that sells fancy tire rims?

“Aww, hell no, Alfred! That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard,” you’d say.

Well, lo and behold, fake Irish “Billie Jean” Batman.

In the ad below, for Kingdom Alloys, an Irish purveyor of alloy tire rims, this joker dances around and air-humps to a slightly off karaoke version of MJ’s classic track. The punch line/tagline borrows the lyric “Don’t think twice,” which appears onscreen as the fake caped crusader stops dancing and turns away, leaving us wishing for more. 

At the risk of tossing some guano in the punch bowl, it’s hard to imagine DC Comics liking this as much as we did. The advertiser knows this, saying in the YouTube description: “Our Look-alike character is dressed in a custom ‘fan-made’ Costume, to resemble that of the film version. We are NOT affiliated with, DC comics or any other entertainment company or their affiliates. The music used is a ‘fan-made karaoke’ version to resemble that of the real version of the track. We are NOT affiliated to any music entity or label.”

So, take a look at the most absurd minute of advertising you’ll see today before it gets cleansed from the Internet.

A ação foi rapidamente apoiada pela cidade inteira e, pelo visto, ao longo do dia será apoiada pelo resto do mundo. Tem até Vine com Barack Obama. A história completa do BatKid através de fotos nas redes sociais você pode ver no The Daily Dot.

Como disse o leitor @marcos__freitas, que mandou a dica, essa zerou o jogo de paródias de “Call Me Maybe”. Parem, por favor!

Depois do jump tem a letra.

I Rang your Wayne Manor Bell
Your secrets I’ll never tell
But things aren’t going so well
Oh yeah and by the way,

This Harvey dent day is crap
I know that you took the wrap
Its been eight years and no bat
And so I gotta say

Your dread was holding
Smoke bombs you were throwing
Dark Knight, cape was flowin
What the hell you doing lately!?

Hey, when I met you
It was crazy
A Lamborghini
And two hot ladies

You tried to look like
You were happy
But you were batman
And really angry

Hey, when I met you
You were crazy
You Drove a tumbler
Through Gotham city

And all the orphan boys
Tried to haze me
I know you’re batman
So stop being lazy

They say your pissing in jars
You got long nails and weird scars
And that you don’t drive your cars
Oh yeah and by the way

I think this cat lady steals,
She’s doing back flips in heels
Acting like its no big deal
And did I mention bane.

His fame is growing
Weird mask muscles showin
Almost killed Jim Gordon
What you gonna do about it!?

Hey, When I met you
It was crazy
You drove a tumbler
In Gotham city

It’s hard to walk right
With a bad knee
Go see a doctor
A Leg brace maybe

Hey when I met you,
You were crazy
You Used a sky hook
To kidnapp Chinese

This harvey dent day
It don’t phaze me
We need the batman
So Quit being lazy

Before you were the Dark Knight
Gotham was so bad
It was so bad
I mean like so so bad

Before you were the dark knight
Gotham was so bad
Now we miss batman
So just be bat bat-man

It’s hard fight crime
From the east wing
So ride your bat pod
And shoot that gun thing

Hey when I met you,
You were crazy
You drove a tumbler
Through Gotham City

And all The orphan boys
Tried to haze me
I know you’re batman
So stop being lazy

Before this Bane guy steals your cash
Just shave your mustache
shave off your mustache
Just Shave off your mustache

Don’t put on the batman mask
With a mustache
Just shave your mustache
There is no bat-man-stache

A ótima série SoundWorks Collection visitou o estúdio de Hans Zimmer e conversou com o compositor sobre o seu processo criativo para a trilha sonora de “The Dark Knight Rises”.

Além de podermos acompanhar o pensamento de um mestre na área, Zimmer conta detalhes de seu trabalho em parceria com Christopher Nolan, que já dura oito anos. Ele revela como é ter que fazer uma trilha diferente, mas dentro de um mesmo universo dos dois filmes anteriores.

Além da música em si, um filme desses tem o sound design como aspecto fundamental. Richard King, sound designer chefe, conta escolhas de efeitos sonoros e, claro, sobre a criação da marcante voz de Bane.

Assista! Sem legendas.

Hans Zimmer, compositor de um monte de trilhas sonoras que você gosta, inclusive da trilogia “Batman” do Nolan, encontrou uma maneira bem legal de ajudar as famílias das vítimas do massacre em Aurora, Colorado.

Ele compôs e gravou uma música chamada “Aurora”, divulgou em sua página no Facebook e a colocou à venda no sistema “pague quanto quiser”. As doações podem variar de 10 centavos a 2500 dólares, com toda renda revertida para a organização Aurora Victim Relief.

“‘Aurora’ é dedicada àqueles que perderam suas vidas e foram afetadas pela tragédia em Aurora, Colorado. Gravei esta música em Londres, nos dias seguintes à tragédia, como uma homenagem, de coração, às vítimas e suas famílias.”

Hans Zimmer revelou que em breve a musica vai estar disponível no iTunes, mas por enquanto pode ser comprada nesse link.
