Damn skippy. I could listen to you read posts all day, with or without a backing track. However, I mentally added cortex at the end saying "LOL." It's a filthy habit I'm trying to shake.

Excellent! I was waiting for this....I tried the same thing, but your accent works so much, much better ( Mine is English, but not quite saaarfenuff, yeah? )
Again - superb.

I always listen to these parody/site themed type things, always enjoy and generally end up favouriting. But if I had to choose just one favourite to hand out for the genre, this would get it. This, this is genius.
And should totally be required listening for anyone signing up with a new account.

Completely wonderful. How close to your original accent is this? Delete the FAQ now, and leave this masterpiece in its stead.

The original video is mostly readily identifiable bits of EC1, so all we need is a video camera and oodles of Chris's free time.

At the risk of returning to the same topic week in, week out, I woke up after last Tuesday's meetup to find that in my drunken haze I'd recorded myself lipsyncing this on my camera phone.
So, by popular request, here's the video (9.4 MB, MP4).
