Major Lazer’s “Pon De Floor” Reinterpreted by Eastland High School

Words by DJ Gravy

OK, if you have a twisted sense of humor like I do, you may agree that this is one of the funniest things you’ve ever seen. Gotta give it up To Diplo, Switch, and of course the “Pon De Floor” music video‘s star, Major Lazer front man Skerrit Bwoy, who turns the volume up to “eleven” at their live performances around the world. This song has really reached… um, somewhere far from its origin, and I don’t think even a great satire could have achieved this deep level of organic irony.
