The Illuminati Polka – Now In Video Form!
Way back in August 2004, we talked about one of the songs on Tom Smith's then-new album And They Say I've Got Talent called "The Illuminati Polka." If you didn't know about that song (or have since "forgotten" definitely not a mindwipe fnord), now you do. If you did know...
