…We need to talk to you. We can’t get enough of this Kimmel-approved video of a beauty pageant contestant murdering the Star Wars theme on her trumpet — while also dancing and ducking from lasers. Caution: Do not attempt to drink a beverage at any point while viewing this clip. When she pulls out the Charlie Chaplin walk, I learned that my talents include the perfect spit take, and I nearly shorted out my computer.

Does George Lucas know about that trumpet/weapon? “Miss Douglas” – we must know how you did in this pageant!!!
Oh good lord! Was that even in key?? I think I’d rather swallow my light saber then watch that again!!
Sounds like someone doesn’t know how to read a key signature. At least she was blowing into the right end.
I could even make it through a minute of that. blecch.
Holy Mother of God. I don’t know whether to weep or laugh. That poor girl. I couldn’t stop watching–like a train wreck. When she started shooting the lasers out of the trumpet … good Lord.
Was she for real? I was embarrassed for her. I wonder if any of her friends and family ever tried to get her to NOT go on stage and do that.
No one clapped.
That was the stupidest thing I’ve seen all day. Everything was bad, even the music. The trumpet playing sounded terrible! And those dances were God awful!
OMG. I love this cheese. I love the ’80’s hair. The Charlie Chaplin walk. The really bad trumpet playing.
It’s still better than the Star Wars Holiday Special!
I felt kind of bad for the Teen USA contestant who came off like a dolt, but I thought might have just been seriously flustered. In this case, no, that wasn’t her being flustered, and gosh, golly, I don’t actually know what that was! Notice there was no sound of applause at the end.
Based on the hair and the outfit, it’s probably a late 1980’s pageant — maybe Jr. Miss. Which means that this girl is now likely a subirban mother of 3 with this video of herself hidden away carefully from her husband and kids.
My sister was a baton twirler in the early 80’s, and she has threatened all of us if we ever show those videos to her kids. She even hid the still photos.
Wow
That might be the best anything ever. I disagree with Anne, she doesn’t look young enough for it to be a jr. miss pageant– which then makes me wonder, what adult in their right mind would call that spectacle a “talent?”
wow.
That was quite possibly the greatest video I’ve ever seen. I wanna know how she did.
Oh no she di’int!
A good friend of mine worked on the telecast of this beauty pageant and first showed me this clip 7 yrs ago. It’s the 1990 or 1991 Miss Arizona Pageant and name of the contestant in the clip is Miss Douglas, Arizona, Stacey Hedger. **This remains one of the funniest clips I’ve ever seen.
The burning question we all want to know is… who told this gal she had talent?
that was amazing
I was trying to remember what that reminded me of…Bill Murray!

Yikes. She would have been better off just making trumpet noises with her mouth instead of trying to actually play it. How did she get elected Miss Douglas is what I want to know…maybe the Chaplin walk was what did it.
that’s just sad.
sad for all of us.
Craptastic! I almost wet myself watching this…performance. I’ve seen some crazy stuff, but that one takes the cake.
OMG! Can we say off key? I have no musical talent myself, but that makes me cringe. Wow!
Wow…Maybe it looks better with the entire marching band out on the football field?
Ummm….was that a car horn or a blow hard….not sure the dog has stopped running yet, he howled his way out of the room..
It’s like watching the really bad auditions for American Idol. Who are the idiots telling this girl she can play a trumpet?
Was that even real, or was it doctored? It could have easily been faked. The announcer voice sounds staged and there are no crowd sounds whatsoever.
I think it’s a legit performance…I found this phone interview with a guy on a blogsite who actually found her and she was apparently completely in the dark that this had even made it onto youtube until they called her and asked her about it!

(this is the link to the phone interview)
We need to get up a petition to include her in the next George Lucas movie. It almost worked for the Star Wars Kid.
