Hungarian ska band Pannonia Allstars Ska Orchestra just released a very slick ska band version of the insidiously catchy theme song to Game of Thrones and oh man, oh MAN where are my beer-soaked checkered shoes because this puts me right back in the midst of my mid-90s youth.
The song comes complete with a GoT-themed video and if you keep the lounge-y beat going long enough you’ll end up feeling like you’re watching the opening credits to a 70s cop show. None of this is a bad thing.
Watch and listen. There’s a free download of the song here. Pick it up!
It’s catchy, but once the trumpets come in, I start hearing what it might sound like as a Mexican polka… *shudder*
I love the guy at the end who says “Winter is Coming” with a Jamaican accent.
