Video Friday: David Hyde Pierce Raps Better Than will.i.am

Words cannot describe the act of David Hyde Pierce rapping about the big movies at this year’s Sundance to the tune of Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow.” Thanks to YouTube, there’s video evidence of such an event [via videogum]:

Enough said. Really. Let’s see will.i.am and co. top that one. Be it a battle of “betters” or “worsts,” it’s hard to say who or what wins out with these two versions of a pretty weak song duking it out.

    That’s miserable. Why didn’t he do a B-52s song given that he sounds exactly (cf “Parker Posey is back”) like Fred Schneider?
