Franz Kafka Rock Opera

[celebrim1]

The song being parodied is 'Flash Gordon' by Queen, from the sound track to the movie.

[Skutieos7]

of course Duane is kafka fan

[sprocket2005]

livin like a bug ain't easy

[zeHoboCop]

At first I was like >: |

But then I loled.

[RussellHokes57]

I think a rock opera based on Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" is a wonderful idea. XD

[Tjac]

an author

[Pinhead554]

Are you kidding me?

[ScreamingBloodyGore]

Ummm no... at the time id neer heard of him... Why did I get marked down for asking a question? My reading circle doesn't really leave H.P Lovecraft and the Cthulhu/Azathoth mythos much... Sorry for not knowing a something pretty obscure, go ahead and be a condescending asshole.

[tubababe]

@ScreamingBloodyGore Okay, but this isn't Lovecraft, it's Kafka. Of whom you should have at least HEARD in school. Not that obscure.

[Tapeleg247]

@ScreamingBloodyGore for real??

[LlortnA]

Poor Gregor :(

[SuddenFiction]

Does anyone know what song they're parodying? A lonely German from PRAGUE!

[tracul]

Dude I have no idea. But I know they are parodying something! its bothering me to!

[linearation]

I don't think they're parodying a song, but rather the book "Metamorphosis", but that's my take on it.

[Explodingduck]

@linearation this is true, the video itself is also very clearly a tribute to styx

[abombinreverse]

I think the song theyre parodying is Flash Gordon the 80's movie

[thelostcontacts]

The sound that part is very reminiscent of the Buggles' 'Video Killed the Radio Star.'

[rebirthangel]

Every time I go to a Bards and noble, and see Kafka with the other writers, I think of this part. xD

Home Movies rocks.

[nidomus]

I didn't make this, just to let you guys know.

[dormiturefl]

love this show

[donthehonk]

Dan WHO indeed.

[whyusucksobad]

i like james dean...

[Ramanujan88]

dude, i'd love to watch Kafka's reaction if he could see this!

[Ramanujan88]

Did he call Kafka/Samsa "James Dean"????

Great upload. I love Kafka so this video was not only funny, but well on the spot behind the humour!

[TBustah]

I think he was referring to Dwayne, since Jason thought that Dwayne was dead.

[BlueScalyCool]

LOL

I love when Dwayne shakes his butt at the 'Kafka' bit.. XD

[cronology]

hahahahahahha \m/

[beeswattingcopkilla]

you're like james dean..

[cartmanss4]

this song is awesome... is it only me or does this remind anyone of bohemian rhaphsody?

[pmoney200]

im a huge Queen fan n that comment!!..... is just making me thinking it does!! hahaha :D

[AddictedtoBlistex]

i'm a lonely german... a lonely german from prague xD

[ParabolaTool]

I actually really love this song. It would be sweet if they really did a performance of this on stage. If only Brendon Small would move on from bullshit like Metalocalypse.

[MatthewJNerger]

Metalocalypse isn't bullshit. The show is very similair to Home Movies if you can get past the good animation and violence. Also, the music is just a different style than what he did in Home Movies.

[DrSanders00]

Metalocalypse is fucking awful. Its style of humor is basically "STUPID = FUNNY," and the music is some of the weakest melodic death metal I've heard.

[cronology]

To understand Metalocalypse humor you need to understand that this is a parody of a black metal band, if you know the culture of metal then you will understandthe jokes.

[ParabolaTool]

I don't dislike Metal, I just don't find the show funny. It's plagued with that "LOL SO RANDOM XD" humor. He'll never top Home Movies, it's one of my all-time favorites.

[moogle75]

my favorite episode of a fantastic show!

[justonking123]

i got little tiny BUG! FEET!

i dont really know what BUGS! EAT!

XD *JOY*

[Jvalentin06]

sounds like a better NightWish song.

[liambf]

I AM A LONELY AUSTRIAN

[Sidenote138]

its GERMAN......from PRAGUE.

[liambf]

used to be part of austria-hungary, now part of the czech republic

[Sidenote138]

not at the time. i believe prague was a part of Prussia at the time. 1910 about. WHAT NOW. HISTORYIZED!

[liambf]

- The Austro-Hungarian empire falls in 1918 and Prague becomes the capital of independent Czechoslovakia.

Kafka lived from 1883-1924, meaning that for most of his life he lived in Austro-Hungary, meaning that he was an Austrian. Though the last 6 years of his life, Prague was in Czechoslovakia

Though, I guess the easiest thing to call him which is indisputable is a Bohemian.

Sorry if I seem like a historical dick, anyway, rockin' video.

[solecoh]

Kafka is a German, regardless of the country of occupation. He was born in Prague, Bohemia, but he attended German schools instead of Czech ones by order of his father and mastered the German tongue despite having already learned the native Czech because it was the language of the "élite." He was a Czech who lived in every way like a German.

[just2w4tch]

when will this great work be brought to the stage?!

[Lifegoesongundam]

Even his early work is great. Brendan small is amazing. As is Kafka, which is how I came across this in the first place.

[webby686]

brendan small is a god.

[ParabolaTool]

Oh man how I love Home Movies. I don't use the name on youtube but for every thing else I use the tag Honky Magoo.
