<p>Ok, I got Nomi Roll&#8217;d, who the hell is this guy anyways, and why is the video so damn creepy!? Well, let&#8217;s go then to our wonderful friend <a title="Wikipedia" href="http://wikipedia.org/">Wikipedia</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Klaus Sperber</strong> (<a title="January 24" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_24">January 24</a>, <a title="1944" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1944">1944</a> &#8211; <a title="August 6" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_6">August 6</a>, <a title="1983" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983">1983</a>), better known as <strong>Klaus Nomi</strong>, was a <a class="mw-redirect" title="German people" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_people">German</a> <a title="Countertenor" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countertenor">countertenor</a> noted for remarkable vocal performances and an unusual, otherworldly, elfin stage persona. Nomi is remembered for bizarrely theatrical live performances, heavy make-up, unusual costumes, and a highly stylized signature hairdo which flaunted a receding hairline. His songs were equally unusual, ranging from <a title="Synthesizer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthesizer">synthesizer</a>-laden interpretations of classic <a title="Opera" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera">opera</a> to covers of 1960s pop standards like <a title="Chubby Checker" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chubby_Checker">Chubby Checker</a>&#8216;s &#8220;<a title="The Twist (song)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twist_%28song%29">The Twist</a>&#8221; and <a title="Lou Christie" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Christie">Lou Christie</a>&#8216;s &#8220;<a title="Lightnin' Strikes" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightnin%27_Strikes">Lightnin&#8217; Strikes</a>&#8220;.</p></blockquote>
<p>What!? He&#8217;s dead already!? Well it does explain the horrible 80s feel of the video! You have got to admit though, even though you get bowel movements when you see that guy&#8217;s face, he had a very powerful voice&#8230;I wonder what he died from&#8230;wait&#8230;*stares at the video*&#8230;lemme guess&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Nomi died on <a title="August 6" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_6">August 6</a>, <a title="1983" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983">1983</a> in New York City, one of the first celebrities to die of an illness complicated by <a title="AIDS" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDS">AIDS</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Do I get a price or something? Wait&#8230;there&#8217;s more&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>His ashes were scattered over New York City.</p></blockquote>
<p>O_o Why? I just hope they sprayed Lysol on them before they spread them all over the place. But I digress, that&#8217;s Nomi for you, you leave from this post a little more wiser, your useless facts lore has earned some EXP.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Now go watch him as a villain in the <a title="Adult Swim" href="http://www.adultswim.com/shows/venturebros/">Venture Brothers in Adult Swim</a>.</p>
