So, once upon a time I said, “If you can’t tell Captain America what you’re doing, you probably shouldn’t be doing it” and it inspired a poem by Catt Kingsgrave (aka theactualcluegirl) which eventually led to this pre-release rough-draft single, The Ballad Of Captain America’s Disapproving Face (also available for listening here on SoundCloud).
I guarantee you will never laugh this hard at any other song that opens with a riff on the Star Spangled Banner. Also there is, if I’m not mistaken, a kazoo cover of Star Spangled Man involved.
Anyhow, Murder Ballads is working on an album, and if you like the song, consider throwing a few bucks their way to help get their album made.
(The accompanying image up there is by the astonishing Frogbillgo, but is not associated officially with the album.)
This has come across my dash a number of times and I’ve never listened because I’m usually doing my Tumbling in circumstances when it would be inconvenient (either because everyone else is asleep or because I’m doing it in 15-second increments while also cooking and ensuring the kid doesn’t jump out the window), but I finally made the time and I do not regret it. Listen to this. Listen to it again. Giggle. I did.
This is *always* worth a reblog. Especially with omg-face pics attached. Yes, that *is* a kazoo cover of “Star-Spangled Man with a Plan” during the bridge.
Maybe it’s my general apathy towards campy music, or maybe it’s the immunity to Disapproving Looks that I’ve developed over the years, but I’m not really feeling convicted or whatever.
so i made and account on tv tropes and it asked for my relationship status
i went over and was about to put in “single” or “it’s complicated” and, well..
i can’t deal anymore
this is beautiful
Amazing.
Also, that youtube link at the bottom is exactly what you think it is.

Honestly, for a criminal in Ankh-Morpork, being pursued by Samuel Vimes must be TERRIFYING Just imagine:
You’re walking in the Shades. There’s no one around and your gang is gone. Out of the corner of your eye you spot him: Samuel Vimes.
He’s following you, about thirty feet back. He gets out of the shadows and breaks into a sprint He’s gaining on you! Samuel Vimes.
You’re looking for your gang but you’re all turned around He’s almost upon you now and you can see there’s blood on his face My Gods, there’s blood everywhere!
Running from Commander Samuel Vimes He’s brandishing his badge it’s Samuel Vimes Lurking in the shadoooows! His Grace the Duke of Ankh Samuel Vimes Patrolling the streets (Samuel Vimes) Solving all crimes (Samuel Vimes) Arresting the guiltyyyy
Actual By-The-Book Samuel Vimes!
Now it’s dark and you seem to have lost him but you’re hopelessly lost yourself. Stranded with the Blackboard Monitor! You creep silently through the streets
Aha! In the distance! An old safehouse of your gang friends! Hope! You move stealthily toward it… but your scent! Ah! It’s caught by a werewolf!
Covering your tracks (Quiet, quiet) Sneaking to the safehouse (Quiet, quiet) Now you’re on the doorstep Sitting inside: Samuel Vimes
Lighting a Cigar (Samuel Vimes) He’s coming to arrest you (Samuel Vimes) You’re taking out your weapooon Threatening Commander Samuel Vimes
Moving in to fight with Samuel Vimes Get kicked in the crotch by Samuel Vimes Puking on the floooor Arrested by Samuel Vimes!
You limp into the dark streets Handcuffs tight around your wrists And he has won; you’ve been beaten by Samuel Vimes.
It’s a reference to this song. Which is, incidentally, hilarious.
