How to Perfect Your Evil Laughter

When I was 6 or 7, my parents took us (me and my 2 siblings) to Disney World.

This was back when the old Indiana Jones exhibit was still running, with the big rolling ball and the spikes. I say old school, because I just looked it up, and we did not have a “lava-filled Cavern of Bubbling Death” or “Gates of Doom,” either.

But, the guide DID ask people to come forward to participate.

No, I was more shy at 7, so this is not a cool anecdotal story. Instead, there was a guy who was asked to do an evil laugh. It was very convincing.

Don’t worry. You don’t need an Indiana Jones exhibit to practice your evil laughter. All you need is Rockband, which comes with a microphone and REM’s Orange Crush.

Here is what you do:

Get into the game, select Orange Crush and whatever play level that you’re comfortable with, and then proceed to sing the song, filling in all of the gaps (they show up in gold light) with maniacally evil laughter.

Don’t be shy. You can do it. You’re a Master of the Universe, or at least a MOTU in training. That’s what the game is really for. It’s a tool to hone your Caesar-like skills, so that the next time someone asks for a muahahahahaha to prove your world dominating intentions, you can oblige without fear.
