The Dark Knight Sings

There is no G-d, no justice in the universe. I say this because the rumors about the Batman musical were apparently not unfounded.

It will likely require a day pass to salon.com, but go here for the story behind and a link to what may be the most cringe-inducing mp3 on the internet.

The song is remarkable for having buckets of whatever train wreck quality it is that that makes people slow down to see accidents on the highway, that makes people say things like, "Oh, this tastes terrible -- try some," that makes people watch the local network news. (Possibly with giggling, for any of those.) It might be worth studying "Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys" to see if that essence can be bottled and put somewhere safe and far, far away.

It's really quite awful. Try not to imagine shuffle-dancing-backup-singing-jazz-hands henchmen.
