Here’s the thing, though: Isn’t this the same song that is actually used in The Lego Movie as an ironic ode to conformity? It was many people’s pick to win Best Original Song, and even though it ended up losing to Common and John Legend’s “Glory” from Selma everything is pretty much still awesome. It is an insanely catchy song which is just as insanely popular, with the music video viewed on YouTube over 30 million times. Now, it’s a day later, and I still can’t get “Everything Is Awesome” out of my head. There were dancers dressed up like Lego construction workers ala Chris Pratt’s character in the film, guys in cowboy costumes went into the crowd to hand out Lego Oscars to people like Oprah and Emma Stone, at one point there was a dancing Awesome Possum, and Will Arnett showed up to sing two lines from his Batman song. Right around the time it really seemed like something different needed to happen to cut through the typical awards show monotony of the Academy Awards last night, Tegan & Sara and The Lonely Island came out to sing “Everything is Awesome” from The Lego Movie.
