A perfect pairing of sound & vision. Breaking Bad - a musical massacre


The moment Walter White executes the New Mexico version of Order 66.

Walter's in trouble. The muscle of his drug empire has vanished and the men in prison, who helped build his business, being paid to keep their secrets aren't going to be receiving their hush money anymore. They need to be silenced. But there's a problem. All nine are in separate prisons and the minute one is killed the others will instantly be put into protective custody. So they need to be taken out simultaneously. The only people with that reach across the New Mexico penal system are the aryan brotherhood and getting into bed with a neo-nazi organisation is just one more step on Walter's descent into hell.


The silky smooth voice of Nat King Cole and dozens of sharpened toothbrush handles being used as knives. Who knew they'd compliment each other so well. Listen to those words too.

Nothing's impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Start all over again.

Don't lose your confidence if you slip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired,
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son!

Will you remember the famous men,
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath,
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.

Walter's ascent summed up. When you fall you get back up. Work for it. Someday you'll be the horrible cunt everyone is talking about.

The perfect compliment to a perfectly horrifying scene.
