Rob Cantor - Shia LeBeouf

Somehow I missed this wildly viral video (1.7M views) when it was first released nearly a week ago. Via Billboard:

Back in 2012, singer-songwriter Rob Cantor wrote a song called “Shia LaBeouf” about the titular character as a cannibal, with lines like, “Hollywood superstar… living in the woods/killing for sport.” In the new video, the West Los Angeles Children’s Choir and Gay Men’s Chorus team for a rousing interpretation of the song, complete with very literal onstage interpretations of the lyrics. Wait until the end for a cameo from LaBeouf himself.
