This looks to be really promising. Read more about the amazing comic it's based on at Wikipedia.

The Columbia University-based a cappella group is called Bacchantae and describes themselves as purveyors of "spunky, soulful, silly, sexy, and stunning self-arranged pop, folk, alternative and r&b."
It's a good take on the song, faithful to Folds' rendition, and the beatboxing is impressive. Not that I know anything about beatboxing.

This event didn't involve phsyically harming the bull, but the 40 people who were injured might think twice before they fund a sport comprised of teasing and torturing animals.
This subject deserves no cultural sensitivity: bullfighting is barbaric and those injured during such events would do well to reconsider their sense of sport.
What do you expect an animal, surrounded by hundreds of loud people, with no clear route of escape, to do? While this was just a study in "acrobatic" avoidance of the angry animal, there is no sympathy in my heart for people injured or killed during real bullfights.
In our gleeful urge to dominate wild animals, humanity is often blind to the reality that such dominance is rarely permanent, but is instead borrowed.
Those surprised when a trapped, tormented, and tortured bull hauls off on a rampage and attacks as many people as possible are completely insane, and total morons.
Another video, shot by a spectator, here.

This is really cool. I wonder how much unseen footage there is just collecting dust in some vault at Skywalker Ranch.

Cyclist was riding the wrong way down the street, but pedestrian was crossing without a crosswalk. I don't have any sympathy for either one of them. But, as the source article points out, this is Philadelphia: there should have been a more serious altercation.

A classic interview from 2007. I watched it last night and if you're a fan, you should, too.
