Posted by mistergroonk in Intertube Madness, Music, Television on February 11, 2012
YouTuber Lara6683 took a request to play the GAME OF THRONES theme song on her channel. We have an unabashed love for the Game of Thrones series and books. So if there’s a fan made cover out there we’d be hard-pressed not to post it.
