Self-anointed musical genius Chilly Gonzales made an instantly memorable appearance on German television, Thursday night. After demonstrating how he used Hamburg's Kaiser Quartett as "a very expensive sampler" on his latest album, Gonzales launched into a musical tirade against one of Germany's most towering cultural icons: Richard Wagner.
With the aid of the Kaiser Quartett, German rapper Dendermann and an enthusiastic studio audience, Gonzales offered the only rational reaction to Wagner's infamous horribleness.
Here's the whole video, including a performance of Gonzales's "Advantage Points," and several jokes that presumably only make sense to people living in Germany.
