Cup of Brown Joy – Tea-Rap

[youtube]eELH0ivexKA[/youtube]

Odd as it may seem, this video is surprisingly catchy – it shows the irrepressible Mr Elemental waxing lyrical about his preferred beverage, tea. Clad in his pith helmet and more than a little wide-eyed from rather a lot of caffine, and accompanied by a gyrating lady and his phonograph-spinning butler, he comes across as a little strange, but well – he’s just very keen on tea. Around the world in 80 brews – herbal? No thanks. Thanks instead go to Mr Alexander Edmund Clough for his excellent taste in videos.

    Petter, I think he meant those "teas" that constists of various spices, twigs etc. but no actual tea-leaves. You know, that vile stuff that only mad dogs, riff-raff and and hippies would even go near. Last time I checked, Earl Grey is a real tea.
  • Tami
    Absolutely hysterical... And lapsang souchong, unless it's raining, then Assam!

    Lovely song, but earl grey is a herbal tea.
  • Mr Cobol
    @Storminformin:

    just place the youtube link inthe box and select your prefered output and voila. I currently have the video on my ipod, random fun for the train home
  • There seems to be a download link in that music player applet at the top right of his myspace page.

    However it is only available for people with myspace accounts. :-(
  • Mr Cobol
    Hmmm...I've done my best, but I'm unable to download the dang thing. First it says I've got to sign up for myspace, and when I do, the download link doesn't work at all.

    Anyone else have luck, or an alternate spot?
  • Dear Mssr. Cobol,

    You will find an MP3 file for your merriment at Mr Elemental's myspace page. Which I believe is www.myspace.com/mcelemental

    Now you can dream of tea whilst bopping along the road.

    On another note, how delightful that I've now discovered this wonderful website. I thouroughly enjoy poking around here and will endeavour to be a regular visitor.

    huzzah!
  • Mr Cobol
    That was unexpectedly excellent.

    Anyone know if there's an MP3 of it somewhere?
  • heres an awesome steampunk like website:

    it's in production but the trailer is cool!!
  • Dr490nw44ri0r
    very amusing, considering I hate rap, even parody rap.
  • Hello all,

    I can't express enough gratitute for all of your kind words.

    My name is Moog, the director of the video. Both Messr. Elemental and myself are quite overwhelmed by the appreciation the ditty is receiving across the inter-webular-network.

    I just had a skim through the old tree house video, as I find myself sitting at a rather dirty computer whilst on holiday in Ireland, and I'd like to stay no longer than nessecary. But my GOODNESS! It looks quite spectacular. I stand and applaud it's creators. Brava!

    Well, my thanks again to you all - good day

    Moog (the)
