'Let it Be' viral video w/80s & 90s stars ... pure Awesomeness

[Beefcake]

I love this video. 30 or more one-time A-/B-Listers on a beach, singing Let it Be!

Kat Witt (looking lovely) and Tonya Harding and Glenn Close side-by-side-by-side ... Peter Falk, still alive ... Leslie Nielsen's last appearance on film? ... NORM! ... Some Twin Peaks and LA Law voids ... George Costanza, [not quite] mastering this domain ... Ricki Lake, wow, nice voice ... Freddy Krueger looking charming, but Larry Drake looking much more like the serial killer ... Double friggin 07 (though not the best one) ... Dan Jansen and Rick Schroder, both still ... Ms. Kathleen Turner there but not adding her kickazz baritone ... Melrose Place's Josee Bissett - still gorgeous ... Malcolm-Jamal Warner still the bomb ... Lou Ferrigno, with the German subtitle "Hulken" .

ETA: Just hit me: German video, but whither David Hasselhoff?

Wow, Benny from LA Law lol. And Fab from Milli Vanilli

Thanks for this! Loved it!

Everytime I thought the video couldn't get more random, it did.

I just went to look at it and got this message

I heard that this was all a big prank on these celebrities. Is that true?

[Beefcake]

That may well be the case! PUNKED!

David Faustino (Bud Bundy himself) has blogged that he was told by the Norwegian [TV?] crew that it was for charity. Seems the "singers" might have been pranked to lip synch to the song. (Certainly gave some of them awful voices.) People were green screened onto the beach, obviously, if this was the case. (Seemed logistically improbable that all could have been on that beach together, anyhow.)

I'm glad that I got to see it before it was pulled! Pure that video.

Well, hell, why not confiscate it, repackage it, and REALLY release it for charity?
