[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Style (parody of Gangnam Style)

[Felix Malmenbeck]

The lyrics were written by Kristen O. Bobst at Comediva.com, who I know a bit through Twitter (where she's called @thekristeno). She uses Klingon references in quite a few of her articles.
I also helped a bit with fixing up the grammar and translating a few of the sentences.

Much kudos to the creators for the coreography and cinematography; you can tell a lot of work went into it!

Also happy to see the interest this has gotten on Twitter and other places; since I started writing this e-mail, there've been over 60 tweets using the word "Klingon" :)

Here it is on the Comediva website: http://www.comediva.com/klingon-style

P.S. I've actually been working on my own Klingon Gangnam lyrics. They're not finished and I'm not sure they ever will be, but here they are in case anybody's interested:
