A video tribute to Ghirahim… featuring music from Village People
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Random, Videos, Wii | 0 comments
Even though this is slightly creepy, it’s strangely amusing. Village People’s “Macho Man” is a surprisingly good fit for this video…
Enjoy this weekend’s randomocity!
Thanks to Jordan N for the tip.
