Watch Cobra: The Musical — No, Seriously, You Have to Watch, It’s an Order
Remember back in July, when I mentioned a Canadian production of a little musical called Cobra Christ, Superstar? I sure didn’t, so I’m glad TR reader Elan Trinidad reminded me — because he happened to find the entirely of Cobra: The Musical on YouTube. Now, let me job your memorry: Cobra The Musical was done in 2007, then the sequel Cobra Christ, Superstar ran in 2008, and the trilogy was completed with Return of the King… of Kings last year. After you watch the first musical on Elan’s blog, the other two can be easily found on YouTube here and here, respectively. If you don’t think that listening to the members of Cobra sing is a pleasant way to pass the afternoon, my Cold Slither cover band would like to have a word with you.
