Posted on: July 28th, 2009 Miles Fisher: Song Sung Psycho
This was the highlight of my day today.
If you haven’t heard of actor and musician Miles Fisher, I get the feeling you soon will. Miles, the all-American, familiar-looking performer is taking the internet by storm with his latest music video ‘This Must Be The Place’, a Talking Heads cover, inspired entirely by the best scenes from American Psycho.
This could be one of the best examples of character emulation I’ve ever seen. I don’t want to use the term ‘impersonation’ or ‘impression’ because it just doesn’t do justice to how well Miles has captured Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman. And you know what, the music is really solid. I’ve had the song stuck in my head all day and I keep going back to the video.
Watch it now (minor NSFW warning for girly panties and a comedic simulated sex scene).
This isn’t the second time Miles has stormed the video channels; he was featured in the spoof movie Superhero Movie in an unforgettable scene where he yet again absolutely nailed a Tom Cruise parody. I didn’t see that flick so I can’t make a comment on it, but I have watched that Tom Cruise clip a dozen times.
Now head on over to Mile’s official site, www.milesfisher.com – right now he’s got a FREE ep of tunes (including the track mentioned here); it’s all quite good. I see a strong future in store for this cat.

July 30th, 2009 at 9:58 pmThat was perfect. Loved how he included the Huey Lewis and the News scene and the streamers for blood. Yeah Yeah Yeah’s recent video also makes creative use of confetti and glitter for blood and a fun song to boot. Plus there’s a werewolf! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KJE6bc8Wtk
