Humpty Dumpty rap inspires interpretive dance, hilarity ensues

When weird nursery rhyme raps and unbelievably awkward dancing come together, magic happens. And today, we have something magical for you. It's an odd rap song about everyone's second favorite eggman (John Lennon being everyone's favorite eggman, naturally). In and of itself, the song is fairly unremarkable as far as...

When weird nursery rhyme raps and unbelievably awkward dancing come together, magic happens. And today, we have something magical for you.

It's an odd rap song about everyone's second favorite eggman (John Lennon being everyone's favorite eggman, naturally). In and of itself, the song is fairly unremarkable as far as cheesy kids rap tunes go.
