Mighty Morphin' YU Rangers Theme Song

A group of my friends here at YU have been working on a particularly interesting video project for just about 2 years now, and they tell me it will hopefully be completed in time for Purim. The Power Rangers costume idea originated post-Purim 5767/2007 (literally, as in Shushan Purim) and the costumes were created during the following year in preparation for Purim 5768/2008 at YU. They've been working on this parody video on-and-off since then.

One of them asked me to post this preview/theme song to drum up interest (in addition to serving as motivation for him to finish the thing). It's definitely creative and pretty funny, I'll give them that. The finished product should also be quite interesting, assuming they actually complete it.


On a personal note: if that wasn't a blast from the past, I don't know what is. The original Power Rangers show was on TV back when I was in 2nd grade, and my friend tells me it's back on TV again this year(!?!). This makes me feel old...

Anyway, enjoy the video, and be on the look out for the final product in the near future.

  5. Is that the Dan Buckin whatever that dressed up as Rainbow Brite and it was on Frum Satire's site?

  6. After doing a quick search of Frum Satire's site, I can confirm your suspicions. I had forgotten he wore that costume one year... or perhaps I blocked it from my memory? :-p

  8. Did you do an age calculation and figure out how old I am? I'm really not THAT old at all (relatively). It's just the fact that I am able to say I vividly remember a show from 17 years ago tends to have that effect on me.
