Rick Santorum's 'Game On' Parodied By EP Twins

The Gold Brothers music video "Gay Mon" was shot in Echo Park, where back alleys doubled as Kingston, Jamaica.

Echo Park resident and filmmaker Ari Gold sent us the above video.

He made it with his composer twin Ethan as part of their "Travel the World with Us" music video project.

Gold told us more in an email:

My brother Ethan and I grew up listening to roots reggae, staring for hours at the back covers of "The Harder They Come" and "This is Reggae Music", and one of the best things about moving by Echo Park is the alleys, which remind us of those albums.  So when it was time to turn Rick Santorum's anthem "Game On" into a Jamaican gay anthem, "Gay Mon", we knew that our back alleys could be Jamaica!  Enjoy, and see how many places you can spot!
