Watch Coheed & Cambria Sing US Judge's Dissenting Opinion On Same-Sex Marriage

As we're all probably aware by now from the flood of rainbow profile pictures on Facebook, the US made history late last week when five federal Supreme Court Justices voted in favour of legalising same-sex marriage in all 50 states.

Of course, with nine judges on the panel, that means four offered up dissent, and perhaps no contrary opinion was as spectacular as Justice Antonin Scalia, who has found himself (justifiably, it must be said) at the forefront of being made fodder for internet smart-asses, with some outlets — in the wake of Scalia's dissent not only here but over a high-profile case involving the controversial Affordable Care Act — questioning whether it's possible to still reach "Peak Scalia", mocking him for his use of terms such as "jiggery-pokery", or ranking his top five dissents of the year so far.

Still, perhaps no skewering of Scalia's arguable insanity has been more creative than that proffered by the team at Funny Or Die and the members of long-standing prog-rock outfit Coheed & Cambria, who have combined forces to deliver a video of the band singing a wholly original song, with lyrics drawn explicitly from excerpts of Scalia's dissents on same-sex-marriage and the Affordable Care Act. 

The result is— well, if you didn't know it was a parody song, you'd be excused for thinking it was a mid-album cut somewhere on one of Coheed's mid-2000s efforts, or even totally sound-appropriate for frontman Claudio Sanchez's side project, The Prize Fighter Inferno, mostly because Sanchez himself is no stranger to a wordy, rambling lyric, and his songwriting style has long carried the hallmarks of an equally conversational and narrative tone (granted, without any of the homophobia and overt conservatism evident in Scalia's words).

Which, apparently, suits lines like "Goes beyond giving words bizarre meanings / words no longer have meeeeeaaaaning" and "Understatement, thy name is an opinion on the Affordable Care Act!" right down to a tee.
