Josh Groban raises us up by singing Kanye West's tweets

Josh Groban (with the help of Jimmy Kimmel) has a meme on his hands: singing Kanye West’s tweets. Hearing the crooner belt out “Man… whatever happened to my antique fish tank?” is truly a treat like none other.

Kanye’s poetic musings have been taken out of context before, of course. First there was the #kanyenewyorker meme, in which West’s tweets were juxtaposed with New Yorker cartoons. Then there was adding “Liz Lemon” before the tweets, which made West a real-life Tracy Jordan. I’m still a little sad that tweets-over-pictures of-Seinfeld meme didn’t take off, but Groban’s voice is soothing the pain away.

Okay, PopWatchers, pick your Kanye Twitter jokes: Whose meme reigns supreme?

    I didn’t think I could love him more.

    • Shiny

      Painfully funny. Who ever thought “marble conference table” could sound so beautiful or so funny? My fave tho is “french fries are the devil.” Makes me want to hear Groban sing folk rather than classical.

      • ryan

        my fav. has got to be the over the top “man… has anybody seen my antique fish tank?”

  • Ktct

    He should host SNL!

    • Debra Vollmer

      Ktct, You are right. I think that Josh should SNL. He would do a great job.I’d watch him on SNL.

    Josh Groban is a stealth hilarity machine.
    His Christmas album actually brought wistful tears to my eyes, and then he goes and does s*** like this, or singing the South Park theme at the Emmys or being stalked by a teacher on Glee, and he wins me over again in a whole other way. I’m kinda crushing on Groban.

    • Mr. Holloway

      I also was thoroughly delighted when he popped up in the “I’m F—ing Ben Affleck” video.

      • tracy bluth

    Anyone who has seen Josh live would agree that he is just naturally hilarious. I love how every time he goes on Kimmel we can expect something fantastic. God, I love him.

  • Mr. Holloway

    Who is Josh Groban?

    • Cat

      Kill yourself! He is an angel sent from heaven to deliver platinum records unto us. And if he were here right now, I would club you to death with his Critic’s Choice Award.

      • Mr. Holloway

    Groban’s tweets are pretty hilarious too. (And a lot more coherent than Kanye’s)

    • Boo Radley

      Maybe Kanye should rap Groban’s tweets…
