This is some freakin' awesome beat boxing.

Yeah, Tom Thum is one of the best beatboxers around. A lot of people in the scene can do a lot of the things he does, some of them even a little better, but he's the only one that can do such a wide array of sounds and incorporate them all into his songs. I remember seeing Reggie Watts mention him as an inspiration one time when he was on stage with Beardyman.

I wish he hadn't done the Billie Jean, though. That's one of the most widely-practiced techniques in beatboxing ever since El Pulpo was televised doing it, and he didn't execute it very well in that particular performance. But everything else was top-notch.

Also, I was hoping this thread was going to be about the actual Tom Thumb movie from the 50s, but then I realized this is General Chat, and that a lot of you probably haven't seen that movie anyway :cry:
