Gilderoy Lockhart

to the tune of “Bezos I” from Bo Burnham: Inside

Who’s someone who has wealth, notoriety, and power but didn’t actually earn any of it? An overrated man who is adored and celebrated as if he deserves his status but who has actually categorically exploited those who go woefully unacknowledged and undervalued? Of course, I’m describing that narcissistic, so-called brilliant celebrity… Gilderoy Lockhart!

So move over, Jeffrey Bezos! We’re reimagining the satiric song from Bo Burham: Inside, the newest Netflix special from the mind of a genius who deserves every ounce of praise he gets and more. The more we think about it, the more Lockhart and Bezos have in common. Everyone sing along!

Come on, Lockhart, you can do it
Save the day, solve the chamber’s secret
Tell us why, show us how
Look at all your fights won, look at you now
McGonagall and Snape and Flitwick
Amateurs, they suck at magic
Wipe their minds, write a book
Come on, Gild, get ’em!
Aaaah!
