On Vox: Word Up.

There are a million reasons to post the video for Cameo's "Word Up", but today I am sharing this with you because it features LeVar Burton Gettin' Funky!


LeVar is looking like a long-lost member of the Time, and you don't need a VISOR to know that's a sharp look! YES I DID JUST MAKE A VISOR JOKE.

If you want to undo the extreme funkiness of this clip (Larry's sportin' the big red codpiece!) then you can inflict the Ko?n cover of this song upon yourself. It's of the same quality you've come to expect from everything that Ko?n does! That's a nice way of saying they suck! Even Limp Bizkit is the fault of Ko?n, right down to the deliberate spelling error! That's dumber than the heavy metal umlaut! There's a film about heavy metal umlaut's wikipedia entry! I can't stop shouting about this awful band! I wish I were a wolf so I could gnaw off my own paw!
