Zelda Rap Piles On The Doritos

- We promise this isn't going to turn into 'James Kochalka Set Watch', but we did get another email from the cartoonist/musician which explains: "I posted a rap song about The Legend of Zelda on my mp3 page at AmericanElf.com."

Here's the intentionally lame lyrics (Kochalka provided the accompanying illustration of Zelda with the Cool Ranch Doritos, as well as noting: " it is very difficult to come up with lyrics as lame as those in the original commercial"):

Well, The Legend of Zelda
It is the best.
Those Moblins put you
To the test.
You open up
A treasure chest,
And you gotta save
The Princess."

Further explanation from ze Kochalka beast: "The song is titled Old Skool White Rap, and is about the unique way that white people would rap in commercials back in the 80's. Directly inspired by the old Zelda television ad, it features a verse about THE LEGEND OF ZELDA as well as a verse about Cool Ranch Doritos. I'm giving the song away as a free download in honor of the new upcoming Zelda game for the Nintendo Wii."
