TV Song of the Week: "Herod's Song"

From the 2000 UK TV version of the movie Jesus Christ Superstar, it is yet another version of a familiar tune, this time sung by actor Rik Mayall. That's right. Lord Flashheart plays King Herod. For what it's worth, I had trouble believing it as well.

R.I.P. Rik Mayall

English actor and comedian Richard Michael "Rik" Mayall -- better known as Rik Mayall and best known for his performances in such British TV shows as Blackadder and The New Statesman as well as his appearances in such movies as 1991's Drop Dead Fred -- hung up his jester's cap for the last time on June 9 at age 56.

He will be missed.
