Shia LaBeouf Live

A song by Rob Cantor narrating, in mounting detail, a version of the actor Shia LaBeouf who hunts people through a forest. Staged as a straight-faced live performance with choir and dancers, which is what made it travel. The record's entry for a joke committed to at full production cost.

I sent it to a friend without context. He rang me eleven minutes later, which is roughly the running time, and said only the title back to me.

The line about him being an actual cannibal became a stock reply to any news story about the actor for several years afterwards.

Definition @frames_forever · Archivist 17 Nov 2014

The comedy is entirely in the seriousness of the staging. Sung by one man at a piano it is a bit; sung by a choir with choreography it is an event.
