I break the Silence on "Viva Viagra"

The only thing as bad as a bunch of white guys in a 12-bar blues band is a bunch of white guys in a third rate Weezer rip-off band.

The only thing WORSE than a bunch of white guys in a 12-bar blues band is a bunch of white guys in a 12-bar blues band singing "Viva Viagra".

[EDIT: to be fair, there are a couple black guys in there. But does that really add to this video's street cred?]

Seriously, if I was gigging right now I'd add "Viva Viagra" to the set list. It's such an awesome miscalculation that it transcends its own suckiness into a weird Twilight Zone of unsuspended disbelief.

Comments:
I can picture a hunched over old lady with a walker doing her best to toss a stick of lit dynamite away from her, but to no avail. Then she explodes like one of the Ganados from Resident Evil 4. It brings a smile to my face.
 
RE Resident Evil 4...

"Los Ganados"! There's your band name! It's been staring me in the face for 2 years!

Maybe the old lady could explode like in "The Gate" into dozens of tiny stop-motion old ladies.

Remember when we were watching "The Gate" and we stood up and cheered during that scene? The new guy in the group thought we were insane. He was right.

Cool scene though.
