    Steven Spielberg is doing a remake of a classic: Jurassic Park. So he's asked me to sign on, I can't exactly say who I'm going to play, but I'll give you a hint. *"Rawr"*

    I saw the title and thought, how the hell can he make the Geico Gecko into a serious poem. As always, Mind = Blown. That was incredible.

    His humor in the beginning makes his sad ending more poignant... To be recognized but not known. "Some how I keep finding myself here".

    I cannot believe that just the other day I saw a live performance of this at my school and then got to meet him and Sarah afterwards. They're so absolutely incredible!

    I don't get why everyone is getting so hung up on the quality of the accent. That's totally not the point of this beautiful, symbolic poem.

  • @KHsora131
    @KHsora131 11 лет назад +1

    The point of the performance was not to sound like a carbon copy of the Geico gecko. Just saying. It was an amazing performance, and an amazing poem with a much deeper meaning than attempting "celebrity" impersonation. Whether or not the accent was Australian or British or Chinese makes no difference whatsoever, so can we move on now?
