"Unicorn Rap"

I absolutely adore this song (and video). Probably one of my favorites. x]
First I want to talk about the video, then I'll get to the actual song.

This had to have been created before Link got his glasses (obviously), and I remember the very first time I saw this video, I thought, "Where are his glasses?" (I also thought, "Wow, his eyes are really pretty." xDD)
This is not one of their best videos, production-value wise, but they make it enjoyable nonetheless, and add a comedy aspect to it with the unicorns in the background (and them dressing up as women, but I'll get to that in a minute. x])
Their clothing choice, though, was impeccable. xDD
The hats, the jogging suits/windsuit things...
...But I don't listen to rap or watch rap videos, so I don't really know how accurate the clothing is, but it seems like it fits. x]
And I like how they keep changing their clothes, or at least the hats and puffy vest things. xD
They really remind me of Mario and Luigi, which they've kind of referenced before (Pimp My Stroller video), and it really suits them. ^^
If they want to dress up as Mario and Luigi, I think that might be some of the best costumes I'd ever seen (And I go to anime conventions where almost everybody dresses up. x])
I love how while one of them sings, the other is dancing in the background. (Well, I don't know if "dancing" is the right word...xD)
Okay, it kind of freaked me out at the end when they tried to dress up as girls....But even though it freaked me out, I LOL'd more then than I had the entire song. xDD
Rhett doesn't look like he enjoys it, but Link kinda looks like he's having a good time...>.>
Link does make a pretty convincing girl. xDDD (See the "How to Answer "WHY DO YOU LOVE ME?" Podcast on iTunes. x])
They sure went the extra mile for that one. xD

Alrighty, now let's talk about the song. =]
I've talked about this several times already, and I know I'll talk about it again many times in the future.
Their rhyming ability continues to amaze me. Especially with this song, because they're not really singing, they need to have really good rhymes to make up for it.
My favorite line I think from any of their songs is "I'm like the Terminator and the Predator, if you put them both together: Invisible and robotic; Quizzical and hypnotic." x]
I also love the line, "I can rap about a blanket and make you snuggly, but I can't make a rap that won't make you ugly." That is so a line that a real rapper would use. xDD
I also remember that the first time I watched this video I thought, "Rhett's voice sounds really good in this song," and I knew a long time ago that I wanted to mention that in my blog. =]
His voice always sounds great, and Link's does too, but I think it sounds really great in this song, for no particular reason. x]
The recorder part in this song is pretty sweet, too. x]
I love when groups (comedy groups specifically) try to rap, and end up rapping better than most actual rappers. xDD (Flight of the Conchords, another comedy/musical group which I'm sure most of you have at least heard of, have done raps that are similar to this one.)
Oh yeah, at the end of the video they sing as backup singers, dressed as women, but not in the beginning. However, in the beginning of the song on the Websongs CD (Is that the right one...?) they sing a great line in the same way. Why didn't they include that part in the video?
