My new favorite patriotic ghost ballad.

Date January 23, 2006

Oh man. So on SNL they had this Young Chuck Norris music video. Which I thought was basically just a weird joke related to the whole Chuck Norris Facts phenomenon that has been all over the internet lately.

But apparently it’s ALSO a parody of this horrifying, creepy, superpatriotic music video that is sung from the perspective of a guy who died fighting in the War on Terrorism. I don’t even know what to say, except that you should check out this link to learn more about this SERIOUS, NO JOKE music video, which is subtly titled “America We Stand As One.”

We live in a truly amazing world.

    Aside from the fact that both singers look vaguely like Michael Bolton, are the videos that similar?
