VIDEO: Whisker Fight Tonight!

I'm delighted to present my latest project: the world premiere of the music video "Whisker Fight Tonight!" by the Opinionated Whiskers (i.e., me):


The video is all taken from the 2012 East Coast Championship held by the Philadelphia Beard and Mustache Club on March 31, 2012, although the song is really meant to be an anthem for every whisker competition.

Here are the lyrics:
There's a battle going on
On our faces tonight
Some say we look the fool
But we're ready for the fight
So you can keep your Mercedes
And your nine to five job
The whiskers have arrived
It's the beard and moustache mob!

We take to the stage
To show what we got
The audience is dripping
'cause our facial hair is hot
Now we may not be pretty
But we all stand apart
Clean shaven guys are boring
We are goddamn works of art

The mc calls my name
And the crowd starts to roar
Hair flows like lyrics from my jaw
My whiskers reach the floor
I strut round the stage
So my fans can all see.
Men and women swoon alike
all daydreaming 'bout me.

I know I haven't been good to you.  It was you that made me a man, you that stuck by me through all the bad times.  You've always been there when I needed you. But lately I've let you down.  I know I don't touch you like I used to, caress you like I used to.  I'm always here with you, just like you're always here with me.  But I know just being there isn't enough.  I'm not going to take you for granted anymore.  I'm going to treat you like you deserve to be treated.  And together . . . we're going to take on the world!

Now we're all here competing
To be number one
And my brothers may be styling
But I'll never be outdone
Mine's the longest and the thickest
We all know it's true
I'm the undisputed boss
Of this pogonographic crew!

There's a battle going on
On our faces tonight
Some say we look the fool
But we're ready for the fight
So you can keep your Mercedes
And your nine to five job
The whiskers have arrived
It's the beard and moustache mob!
Next stop: a complete album?
