Extra Musical Monday with the Merkins... Because This is the Way Now!

It's early November 2020, and we haven't yet had time to watch the new episodes of "The Mandalorian"--there's just too much stuff to watch, including all the old things we want to cover for this blog!--but we are looking forward to the day when we can find the time.

(For the non-Star Wars fans out there, "The Mandalorian" is a series airing on Disney+ that details the adventures of the Mandalorian of the title and the baby alien he decides to protect. It's sort of like "Lone Wolf and Cub Meet Star Wars While Everyone is Brainstorming Spaghetti Western and Heist Movie Plots"... and the first batch of episodes were fantastic!)

And after coming across this hilarious musical tribute to the Mandalorian and the Child (whom we forever will refer to as Baby Yoda) via a Guns 'n Roses parody cover, we are looking forward to sitting down and watching that show even more!


The Merkins is a comedy group that specializes in spoof covers, more often than not revolving around the various masked characters from horror films. You can check out their YouTube channel here, and you can click here to see a selection of their songs that have been featured at our sister blog, Terror Titans.


UPDATE (11.9.2020)
It appears that Guns N Roses has nuked the "Green Child of Mine" parody with a copyright claim. What a bunch of useless, feckless bastards.


UPDATE (11.11.2020)
"Green Child of Mine" was reuploaded on someone's individual page. We'll see how long it sticks around! Watch it while you can!


UPDATE (11.16.2020)
The cunts of Guns N Roses have nuked "Green Child of Mine" again. Oh well. This post will stay here, in memory of a very funny parody. I'm sorry if you missed it. BUT! We're going to start a salty post where we will chronicle the ups-and-downs of Baby Yoda vs. the Cunts of Guns N Roses! Stay tuned!
