AHHHHH.
In a jurassic park. In the army. At a school, with megaphones. For ten hours. Having a cry. Destroying New York. Destroying a planet. Floating down here. Without actually being present. In a compilation for easy, bulk viewing.
This is the high energy, bridge portion from “Big Enough”,recently, previously an otherwise restrained song by Australian pop star/jokester Kirin J Callinan, and the moment that has successfully gone viral. The cowboy ghost is played by Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes (AO) who screams a fair amount in other songs, and the woman by hardcore whistler Molly Lewis. It has since become a dank meme.

Aaaaaa brain is melting aaaaaaaagh what.
Ok, so, I love quirky and theramins and whatever, but when I clicked on the "hardcore" link and Molly started whistling, I couldn't not start giggling. And then the housemate's dogs started barking and growling, which didn't help with the not laughing at all. And then the neighbor's dogs started barking and I really started chortling and I had to pause the video and give it all a minute to settle down.

Somehow fitting that 2017 now has a "scream-along" anthem.

I came to metafilter to escape "Dank memes", but I guess this is how people get entertainment now...

Jimmy! (All Australians of a certain age grew up with Cold Chisel and Jimmy's screaming/singing). It's only when you see it out of context that you realise how weird it really is).

OMG! The Full Metal Jacket one (the "in the army" link, even though FMJ is USMC) is spectacular.

Like a giant man screaming in the sky, the FMJ one dwarfs the other contenders.

Needs the Barnsey tag.
I happened to be near his dressing room once when he started warming up. It is very loud.
Back in the Chisel days it was more melodic but just as powerful. In this clip (where in 1981 they ungraciously accept they will never make it in the US) you can believe he's outsinging the band unamplified.

One of the few things I collect is miniature kirins, and I am unsure what to think of this. At first. And then, on reflection, I approve, and I think the kirins do too.

Still waiting on:
- "Hello" overdub

- 800% longer
Well, I solved my own 800% longer problem.
