Bless the Screen Junkies for giving us laughter: After being nominated for an Emmy the second year in a row, they’ve released a special “For Your Consideration” Honest Trailers tackling TV themes. And who best to help them cover famous theme songs than movie buff Michael Bolton? Because House Bolton does what it wants.
We found this video via The Daily Dot, who focused on Bolton giving the perfect words to Game of Thrones’ already epic theme: “I am a wolf in dragon’s clothing / and it’s tearing me apart” is just one gem. But the whole video is worth watching, for Natasha Bedingfield singing about the Upside Down to the Perfect Strangers Theme and Paula Cole bringing back all of our Dawson’s Creek memories while smashing the patriarchy with Offred and the other Handmaids.
Then Bolton carries us home:
His Game of Thrones cover—with him acting out parts, naturally—is almost as epic as “Jack Sparrow”:
And that’s high praise. Screen Junkies better nab that Emmy.
I had no idea I needed this, but obvioulsy, I did :D
No, my favorite Bolton/Honest Trailer pair up is the Willy Wonka one :)
But having no real exposure to Michael Bolton aside from Office Space…I guess he isn’t a no talent ass clown after all ;)
I died at ‘hold the door to my heart’. Hahaha :)
There’s nothing wrong with Bolton’s talent, critics just aren’t in to sentimentality, which is what Bolton built his career on. And now his second career, by poking fun at his own image. He’s freaking hilarious, just like Josh Groban.
