Brad Go makes an “Ikea” musical

You Tube artist Brad Go is getting some love form his latest song because he mixes in humor with Swedish furniture terms in a song he dubbed, “The Ikea Song.” The whole track was filmed in what looks like an Ikea store and was directed by Lawrence Chen. The track is pretty interactive because the Swedish words that Brad Go uses are highlighted to where you can click and actually learn what they mean. Sounds oddly weird but true, the song will have you laughing through.
