Steve Carell Does Sort-Of African Music Or Something

Alright. There's this song. It's sort of techno-y, sort of African-y, and it's on the soundtrack for season four of Queer as Folk. It's called Strobe's Nanafushi and its sung/performed/whatevered by Kodo. I don't know if Kodo is just one person, if it includes everyone and their mom that might be involved, I know nothing about this person/band.

Except that it involves Steve Carell.

There's weird chanting vocals all through it and they sound just like him. As soon as I recognized that it was, in fact*, him that was making weird noises in my ears, I could no longer take the song seriously. It just became funny. It was like a comedy song without any actual words. Just noises.

There is no way that this is not him. I mean, seriously. Not too many people sound exactly like Steve Carell. And I mean exactly. Not "Hey. That sort sounds him." No. It was me going "What the fuck is Michael Scott doing making weird African chanting noises in my ears?"

This is the song that is apparently done by Steve Carell. Feel free to listen. Yes, it's YouTube. Yes, it's a song that was on QaF. But it's not a music video or anything. And the closest you get to gayboys is the fact that the picture that stays the same through the entire song is a picture of the cover of the season four soundtrack on which the song can be found anyway.

You will be assaulted by the sounds of Steve Carell making noises that go something along the lines of "Ayyyahayyaaaayaahayyahayaahhh." That may be an exact translation. There's no way to know for sure. And it could be that he was singing about rainbows and candy. Or he could have been singing about mass genocide.


*This is not a fact. It is nothing more than a strong suspicion.
