Daenerys Targaryen gets fired in MC Lars music video “Dragon Blood”
If you’ve never heard of MC Lars before now, then indulge me for a moment while I geek out. This English major-turned-hip-hop artist is witty and funny, ably crafting rhymes about everything from outdated music industry sales models to crunk rap to Moby Dick. (Also, he’s written at least two songs inspired by the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe. A nerd after my own heart.) Well, he’s got a new song called “Dragon Blood” that’s all about the Mother of Dragons herself, Daenerys Targaryen–and it comes complete with a music video about a modern-day Daenerys getting fired (heh) from her boring desk job. It goes about as well as you’d expect. Check out the humorous video below!
The song is a boastful rap written from Daenerys’ perspective; that attitude is heavily supported by Chell Stephen, the actress portraying the wayward Targaryen. Bonus: that’s MC Lars at the end, presumably playing the role of the entire city of Meereen and giving new meaning to Season 5 Dany’s phrase “break the wheel.”
