Have you ever listened to a particularly strange Kanye West interview and wondered, “Hey, I wonder what it would sound like if Australian psych-rock act Tame Impala performed a medley of outlandish Kanye quotes?”
No? Yeah, we hadn’t either. But thanks to this video shared by comedy site Super Deluxe, you’ll never have to wonder. The video, captioned “This is what Kanye West would sound like as a Tame Impala song,” pulls together some of the more colorful quotes from Kanye West interviews throughout the years and transforms them into what could very easily be mistaken for an actual Tame Impala tune. The music is credited to Tennessee-based indie-pop artist Nick Lutsko.
The result a surprisingly catchy track, and the Tame Impala-style liquid-light psychedelia and various other trippy animated additions make the clip downright hilarious, taboot. You can watch the video below:

Tame Impala hasn’t performed in the United States since the Kevin Parker-led project headlined the Panorama Music Festival in New York City last July. The group is set to headline Pitchfork Music Festival on July 20th, 2018 in Chicago and Desert Daze in Moreno Valley, CA from October 12th through 14th. As of now, there are no other Tame Impala dates officially on the books.
Kanye West has also remained mostly out of the public eye of late, as multiple reports have confirmed that the’s holed up in a recording studio in the mountains of Wyoming working on his next album, the follow-up to his Grammy-nominated 2016 album, The Life of Pablo. Various high-profile rappers and producers including Nas, Kid Cudi, Travis Scott, and Pierre Bourne have traveled to Wyoming to work with West in recent weeks.
A friendly message to Kanye: now that you’ve heard how good a collab between yourself and Tame Impala would sound, get Parker on a plane out to Wyoming and let’s make this happen. What’re you waiting for?
