Christian Bale’s total freak-out on the set of Terminator Salvation has inspired two composers to go all Microsoft Songsmith on his rantings and set them to music. Above is the straight-outta-the-club “Bale Out,” by the YouTube remixer who goes by the name RevoLucian; it’s a little repetitive, but hey, so was “James Brown Is Dead.” An alternate take on Bale’s breakdown, by the Los Angeles spaz-pop outfit the Mae Shi and entitled “R U Professional,” is after the jump.
I think I prefer “Bale Out,” if only because I can see someone making an American Psycho tribute video with it very, very easily.

In other news: Songsmith is still the opposite of music.
Someone do a Bale/O’Reilly mashup? “Are you a fucking professional? .. We’ll do it live, fuck it!”
I see this being played at a local ‘goth’ night by the end of the month, probably between Combichrist and the Ghostbusters/NIN mashup.
@Audif Jackson Winters III: Ha! I was thinking the same thing. “Are you a fucking professional?” is the new “We’ll do it live, fuck it!”
