Lost "Khaaaaan!" Think Geek video discovered


Digging through the jumbled nether regions of my hard drives, I unearthed this digital gem from way back in 2011: the unfinished music video we created for ThinkGeek.com.

Think Geek graciously provided some awesome merchandise for us to use as a fundraiser for Khaaaan! the Musical. We promised them a music video in return, but despite our best efforts it was never quite finished. So here it is in all it's raw glory.

If you like the song, here's an mp3. It's a variation on "The Illogical Song" that we performed in the show. You can download the entire cast album for free here.
