Cosplaying Accordionist Performs Mortal Kombat Theme



Ever wondered what the Mortal Kombat theme might sound like if it had a more nautical vibe? Probably not, but now you can find out anyway.


Regardless of what they might think of the movie itself, most people can agree that Mortal Kombat had a pretty cool theme song - a pounding techno song full of energy, the perfect accompaniment to a pitched martial arts battle.

Not quite so many, though, would suggest that it could be improved by playing it on an accordion, yet this version has a certain charm all the same and makes the theme sound a little like a sea shanty. The fact that the guy is dressed up like Scorpion just seems to be the icing on the cake.

As bizarre as this is, it's also pretty entertaining, and seeing how fast YouTube user Eowad [http://www.youtube.com/user/Eowad] operates the bellows towards the end is actually quite impressive.

We'll game themes on the piano have been done to death; glad someone picked up and accordion. Another plus for it being mortal combat.

According to the comments, it isn't Eowad playing.

Lol, love the "Fatality!" at the end.

That was a fun vid! Still chuckling.

Accordions kick arse!!

This is awesome, simply because the accordion is such a hard instrument to learn to play properly. I always got amazed watching my grandfather play on his, with the speed you need to operate the bellows in fast songs.

The eyes. He doesn't shut them!

Thanks to you, this was the one thing I paid attention to during the video. You're right, he doesn't blink at all. Quite impressive to be able to keep your eyes open for 50 seconds while playing an accordion.

Scorpion with an accordion, what will he do next?!

 

[Lord Thodin]

Oh god, can't stop laughing.

The eyes. He doesn't shut them!

I noticed that too haha

I am glad that he decided to dress as such. because if he was not wearing a mask, he would never get laid, ever. Because of the accordion.

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

Thats really awesome that he can do that, not many ppl out there playing that on acordian.

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

I can't get the image of someone playing this while two pirates have a Mortal Kombat style pub brawl out of my mind!

Luckily, I don't want to...

 

[Heart of Darkness]

FOLK-TALITY!

Win comment is win.

I remember my friend playing this theme on his saxophone while we were still in band. Oddly enough, it didn't sound all that different...

 

[VanityGirl]

He looked like he was having a seizure at the end. Never the less it was awesome and very funny.

 

[sephiroth1991]

Wow that is awesome, a hand to the gentleman

 

[Jared]

Now thats impressive! hats off to him for that bellow work at the end! Fantastic!

 

[GrinningManiac]
