Video: Kimya Dawson’s Tribute to Captain Lou Albano, R.I.P.

Captain Lou Albano

The untimely passing of wrestling manager turned MTV pop-culture icon Captain Lou Albano is already well-known, but I doubt people were expecting the artistic outpouring that popped up on Kimya Dawson’s Twitter. Dawson threw on a headband and some homemade ’80s body slam gear and quickly penned a tribute to Albano that she calls “the best song of her career“, name-checking the slew of recent celebrity deaths and thanking the Captain for showing her ’80s-child self that it was okay to be weird. Aw. Art Brut frontman Eddie Argos likes it too. Check out the video below:
