Of course, it's Magnus, singing off key.

Who's debating? Of course it's Magnus.

Embarrassing

Fortunately, Magnus doesn't need to get paid for his singing.

"We’ve got Payet, Dimitri Payet! I just don’t think you understand. He’s Super Slavs man, he’s better than Zidane. We’ve got Dimtri Payet!"

GM Kevin Spraggett gives this short film in his blog, under the heading - 

"Magnus, don't quit your day job".

some creative folks also made a song out of another magnus sighting

somebody oughta leak kevin's drunken karaoke sessions ...

<Bunicula> actually it was quite a witty title - and Spragett specializes in these. 

What makes it so witty, is that the line "don't quit your day job" is often given to chess wannabes - and look WHAT a day job this guy Carlsen has. 

That Ylvis show is really funny too... 

yes & WHAT a job 

At the risk of repeating myself, you got it!

Don't start. 

ok, but u have to agree, WHAT a mystery this thread is about.

About misguided fanatics.

there are well-guided fanatics?

Look at it this way, one man's poison ivy is another man's spinach. Poisons and medicine are oftentimes the same substance given with different intents.
