Music Video: Map of the World as We Know it

StevenRussellJr tipped me off to what I consider a brilliant take on REM "It's the End of the World" updated to "It's a Map of the World." This is a great follow up to last year's "Be Our Guest" rewritten as "G-I-Yes!"

As someone who has actually tried to sing the original REM song with the lyrics in front of me, I'm impressed by anyone who can speak all those words, let alone be articulate about it. Oh, and these are really clever lyrics, too. I'd appreciate any further info on the lyricist/performers.

Brilliant! I was wondering all through the first verse what the 'Leonard Bernstein!' was going to be!

Sounds great but I don't see the link...?

Mark,

The video is embedded in the post (I can see it fine). But for those who can't, here's the link to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1iPe0LtCew

Enjoy!
