Earlier today, Uncle Vinnie over at FilmDrunk introduced us to a vintage film that is near and dear to my heart, Miami Connection, which is about an 80s rock band that moonlights as ninjas in order to clean up the streets of Orlando and its terrible cocaine trade. And yes, I’m so amazingly pissed that I didn’t write that film.
Well, intrepid commenter Ace Rimmer doubled down on the amazeballs with a music video entitled, “The Karate Rap.” Apparently this holy-sh*ttingly incredible video has already made the rounds for the past few months, but I hadn’t seen it until today, and you get the point – it’s awesome.
Created by David Seeger and his wife, Holly Whitsock Seeger, “The Karate Rap” is a reminder that the Mayan calendar should have ended in 1987.

I thought the greatest thing about 1987 was me turning 16 and getting my driver’s license. Apparently I was wrong. This might be the most 80′s video ever.
This feels like what you should find at the end of the Internet.
Can someone watch it again and tell me how many times they rhymed “karate” with “body”? Because it felt like 200.
Well, other than that he tried to rhyme “car” with “ninja”, so probably best to just stick with what works.
Holy smokes, that’s one of the most awesomely cheese-tastic things I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure there is a word to adequately describe how fabulous that rhinestone gi is. Also, I’m really happy they managed to shoehorn a keytar in there. Nothing says “80s” like a keytar.
Brandon, it sounds a little like you rapping.
Oh, it totally sounds like B. No doubt about it.
“That was good, but can you rap more slowly?” –This song’s producer
he’s a samurai, she’s a samurette
that’s something I won’t forget
The Internet has just hit the lottery, and it is now making it rain on all of us.
This is tremendous. I want to buy this cassingle.
The human teeth on the karate parakeet at the end were straight up NIGHTMARE FUEL.
I clicked play and turned the volume up on my computer so I could listen to it as I took a shit. I shat as hard as humanly possible just to end it quickly enough to get back to my computer and turn this off.
/Fucking true story
Ironic 80s nostalgia is so played out.
On the other hand, unimaginative trolling is totally in.
