Conan the Barbarian: The Musical

By Will Perkins
June 30, 2010

Conan the Barbarian is well known for its hilarious lines and great action, but the film is also known for its wonderful musical score courtesy of the amazing Basil Poledouris. However, Jon and Al over at JonandAl.com found the Poledouris score lacking and decided to add lyrics to the mix. I give you Arnold Schwarzenegger performing “Crom!” from Conan the Barbarian: The Musical.

Jon and Al also created an excellent musical sendup to another Schwarzenegger classic: “The Mountains of Mars” from Total Recall: The Musical, though it loses points for not having a single mention of villains Vilos Cohaagen and Richter.
