Christopher Walken appeared on BBC1’s Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and offered a special Halloween treat: a performance of Lady Gaga’s Poker Face.

In a perfect world, Walken’s voice would be in every audio book and translation software known to man. Instead of the pilot and flight attendants explaining emergency procedures on airplanes, it should be Walken’s voice over the intercom – people would pay attention to that, instead of tuning out and drawing dicks all over the SkyMall magazine. Instead of Autotune, there should be a Walken voice filter. He’s the only person I’d pay to watch do an impression of himself. Ok, you get the point.
no honorable mention for cartman’s version? :)

Blame it on my candy coma. I actually far prefer the Cartman version.
Mr. Walken rocks, but I wish that British audience wouldn’t laugh after every fucking syllable.
The timing on this one was bizarre as on this past friday I discovered that I can do a decent Walken impersonation (but only very early in the morning when my voice is all scraggely) and one of the first things I decided to do was attempt to do a Walken-ized version of Poker Face. Good times.
I vote for Cartman. You can never go wrong with Cartman.
